Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2000

A miscellany of the last twenty-five years of outdoor and indoor bowling, from 1974 Nineteen Seventy-Four Testing the Green to 1999 Nineteen Ninety-Nine Bowls and the Press. What the reviews said about the author's previous book Bowling Enchanted Woods: delightful, identifies the attraction and analyses the magic of bowling. In this, his second book on bowls, Gordon Allan looks back on the last twenty years of the twentieth century, which he believes to have been the most eventful in the long history of the game. The advent of professionalism, television exposure, five-figure prize money, the influx of younger players -- these, among many other changes, constitute a revolution in the sedate sport that W G Grace knew. The author entered journalism straight from school in Aberdeen in 1951 and now lives in Surrey. His Fleet Street career was spent mainly with The Times.
