Lawn Bowling or "Bowls" in England.
A lawn bowling ball, also known as a bowl, is a heavy, spherical ball used in the sport of lawn bowling. Unlike traditional bowling balls, lawn bowls are asymmetrical, with one side slightly flattened, allowing them to curve as they roll. Players aim to deliver their bowls as close as possible to a smaller target ball, called the "jack." The unique design and weight of lawn bowls enable strategic gameplay and skillful maneuvering on the green.
Sadly, lawn bowls is not an Olympic sport. But it is played in the commonwealth games.
