What Can You Buy For A Lawn Bowls Player?

When it comes to what you can buy for someone who plays lawn bowls there are a few options open to you.

Such as things they can wear while playing, things they can use while playing, bags to house and carry their equipment in and tools that allow them to still play if their movement becomes restricted.

1. Flat-Bottomed Lawn Bowling Shoes To Protect The Greens

When playing lawn bowls it's essential to wear flat-bottomed smooth shoes or trainers to protect the immaculate greens.

And there are plenty of trainers and shoes that are designed especially to be worn on the lawn bowls green.

So a new pair of these could make for a great gift for a loved one who loves their lawn bowls games.

With the Henselite mens velcro lawn bowls shoes on Amazon being one example of a pair that they'll appreciate.

2. A Hat To Keep The Sun Out Of Their Eyes

There's not many things that can beat a sunny afternoon at the lawn bowls club for a true aficionado.

However, it's important they can see what they're doing without being blinded by the sun's glare, which is where the gift of a sun hat can be a useful idea.

As whether they like to wear wide brimmed hats, bucket hats, caps or visors, you can get them something to suit their style.

3. A Lawn Bowling Glove For Improved Grip And Control

Many lawn bowlers like to use a bowling glove to give them a better grip and control of the bowl, especially in wet conditions.

So I'm sure they'd love to receive one of these as a little gift too.

With the Drakes Pride white bowls glove being one that is high quality.

4. A Lawn Bowlers Measuring Tape

A measuring tape is a vital piece of kit for a lawn bowler so they can get accurate distances of how far away the bowls are from the jack.

So getting them one for this purpose can make for a cool stocking stuffer gift idea.

With the Drake's Pride 10ft measuring tape being a popular choice among lawn bowlers.

5. A Leather Pouch For Their Measuring Tape And Chalk

A lawn bowler will usually have to hold a measuring tape and some marking chalk on them as they play.

So rather than clogging up their pockets, why not get them a leather pouch they can hook to their belt instead as a gift.

As the Drakes Pride leather accessory pouch is ideal for this with separate compartments for both.

6. A Trolley Bag For Their Lawn Bowls And Equipment

If your loved one is serious about their lawn bowls then they can quickly build up a fair bit of equipment that they need to bring to each game.

And this can be heavy to carry, especially if they are advancing in years.

So the gift idea of a lawn bowls trolley bag is a top one, as this has compartments for all their lawn bowls sets and accessories and it can be wheeled in with ease rather than carried. 

With the Drake's Pride bowls trolley bag on Amazon being one they'll be happy with.

7. A Microfiber Towel To Dry Off The Lawn Bowls

It's easy for lawn bowls to get wet and slippy at times when bowling outside in certain weather conditions.

So it makes sense to have a microfiber towel on hand to dry them off so you can get a good grip on them before bowling.

Which makes the Drake's Pride microfiber bowls towel another solid gift option.

8. Scorecards And A Leather Holder To Keep Them Legible

Manually keeping score on scorecards as you play is how you keep track while playing lawn bowls.

However, these scorecards can easily become damaged if you are keeping them in your pocket or taking them out during wet weather conditions.

So a gift that can help them to keep their scorecard in tip top condition is to get them a Drake's Pride rigid scorecard holder.

And why not pair this with the Drake's Pride pack of 100 scorecards so they have plenty of them to get through before they run out.

9. A Pocket Scorer For More Ease And Convenience

Another gift option to help them keep score is to get them the Drakes Pride bowls pocket scorer.

As this basic pocket scorer device is an easy and convenient way to keep the score of a game without writing everything down on a scorecard.

So it might appeal if they just want a quick casual game.

10. A Bowls Lifter To Save Their Back And Joints

Lawn bowls is played mainly by people who are approaching their twilight years, as it's a gentle sport that doesn't put their body under undue strain.

However, they may have problems in their back and joints that make bending down painful and difficult, which can be an issue when picking up bowls from the ground.

So a gift that can spare their back and joints from this pain is the Acclaim bowls and jack lifter.

As this bowls lifter is a telescopic stick that allows them to retrieve their bowls from the floor while staying in a standing position.

11. A Bowling Arm If Bowling Is Too Difficult Physically

Lawn bowls should be open for everyone and the next gift idea can make that a reality.

As getting a lawn bowler that is restricted in their movements in some way a bowling arm is a really thoughtful gift that will allow them to play too.

Because then they'll be able to use this arm to grip and bowl without having to kneel, bend or crouch down while doing so.

So check out the Drakes Pride bowling arm for a gift that can get them back on the bowling green again.
