Synopsis In his long career, Jack Murphy has been conscious of the physical differences between men and women that affect the way they play lawn bowls. These differences can influence both the quality of a player's game and the ease with which he or she becomes an accomplished bowler, perhaps even a champion. His observations have enabled him to work out how a lady bowler can best use her physical characteristics to help her become a proficient player. In this book, divided into six parts and 27 chapters, Jack Murphy has included everything that will help either the new player or the player wishing to improve her game. In doing this he has consulted with expert lady bowlers, becoming even more convinced of the need for this special contribution of the game.
