FoG .. it's much the same as lawn bowling but no bias in the balls (bias is in # of beer consumed...)

Hayward, we're the same .. neighbours are very patient with us, it's gets very loud with all the laughter and shouting the teams on .. I've been cutting the court at the mower's lowest setting.. I'm waiting for 2 straight days of rain, I'm renting a lawn roller believe it or not ... only I will know the pitch of the court for a few games.. LOL

David, thx for looking and the kind comments .. it's a great family game, everyone can play .. it only gets serious in the "play-offs" (post family bbq) ... and yes it's cut to the quick .. I keep our lawn high and lush to keep those stunning dandelions at bay .. I took the plunge and we cut in the court and have to mow every day or 2, and water the snot out of it.. well worth the effort to have a game my boys call me out to play at ..
