Smart! Love the mallet.I'm starting small, old rookie at this no bowls for a while.
I'm looking for the mentor, a few clubs are nearby the close one is Zoom only for a while.I have been accused of being 'different'. For me, I turned maybe 3 or 4 spindles and dove straight into bowls. Still my favorite. Main thing is to have fun, which it looks like you are doing. Find a near by mentor. Makes the experience a lot more fun!
