Bowlers who have been recognised as “DUMPERS”
This means their “DELIVERY ACTION” when releasing their BOWLS may cause DAMAGE to the “PLAYING SURFACE” and should seek assistance from the CLUB COACHES!
“DUMPING” occurs when Bowls are released from the Hand during the delivery in excess of 15cm or 6 inches above the playing surface.
The problem may be rectified by one of the following;
a. Videoing the delivery to identify the nature of the problem;
b. Changing the stance, at the point of delivery, so that the bowl is released low enough;
c. Using a supporting stick, with a 75mm rubber base, to assist with balance; or
d. The temporary use of one of the approved bowling arms available at the club.
Rectifying the problem will protect our club’s most valuable asset, the greens, and also save potential embarrassment when bowling at other clubs.
The use of such equipment will also enable you to play and enjoy the Game of Bowls Longer.
