Bowling with a View

Yesterday for a friend's birthday we went to Clovelly Bowling Club, which probably has the most spectacular view of any bowling club around. They take caring for their brown grass very seriously, and don't let you walk on it with shoes or carrying glasses. One thing that made no sense, having bowled at Paddo Bowls near us, is that the lawn bowling balls are all almost the same color at Clovelly. It was dark brown vs. black. Paddo has contrasting bright colored balls, so it's no question which team is winning. We played the battle of the sexes, and it ended up being a very close game (probably because people on both teams were accidentally bowling with the other team's balls because they couldn't tell the difference). We finished off the night at the Beach Burrito Company in Coogee.
