In the recent Council Meeting we have received enquiries about footwear for our sport. As improper footwear may cause injury to players or damaging the greens, we would like to remind that only proper footwear is allowed on greens. Proper footwear includes shoes specifically designed for lawn bowls or approved by the Association for use in local competitions.
Sandals or flip-flops are not allowed as they will not provide the protection required.
Please note that some clubs have indicated that players with improper footwear will be refused entering the greens and HKLBA does not want to see such thing happened. We would like to urge your cooperation to maintain the high standard of the sport.
