Get on the green

One of the variations of social bowls played in Australia is the 'Get on the Green' (GOTG) program – a concept developed in conjunction with the Australian Sports Commission (ASC). 

How does GOTG work?
The GOTG program’s main attraction is the opportunity to participate in a relaxed and easy-to-play sporting environment. The casual and social nature of the program will prove to be just as important to participants as the challenge of playing bowls.  GOTG is aimed at males and females 18 – 44 years old with a specific focus on 25 – 35 year olds.

The program comprises of the following:
A structured program – a weekly competition played on a weekday evening with modified game formats.

A fun atmosphere – the playing environment is fun, fast-paced and designed to suit all skill levels.

Flexibility – participants have the option of registering as a team or as an individual.

Equipment – all equipment will be provided by the bowls club at no extra cost. Participants need only wear casual clothing and flat-soled shoes.

Coaching – provide general instruction to participants on the basic skills of bowls.
