Here at the Long Beach Lawn Bowling Club, we view it as our mission to introduce as many people as possible to this great game.  It is also our duty to provide our members with the support and tools needed to accomplish and attain whatever it is they are looking for in the game.  If a member wishes to get out and enjoy a little fresh air and exercise in the company of like minded friends, we have over a hundred members to provide a friendly social atmosphere. 

And if a member is looking to improve their game and compete at a higher level, we have 2 past National Champions as well as multiple international competitors that will be more than willing to lend advice.  We also have a great mix of up and coming bowlers and established vets to share in the goals of tournament success.

Coming soon, the history of our club from its founding to present. If you have any info in regards to this please contact the webmaster at webmaster@longbeachlawnbowling.org.

Membership is $190 annually, prorated based on your date of joining.  This includes full access to the clubhouse and greens, your own locker, automatic enrollment to the USLBA, and covers all non-tournament greens fees.

The draw is the method by which teams are determined at our daily social games. It guarantees that every member will be able to participate and nobody is ever left out.And since they are at set times, there are always plenty of other members there. Here is how it works. The draw is at a set time. During Spring, Summer, ans Fall, the main game is at 10 am. So usually about 9-9:30 am, members start showing up at the club. When they arrive, they take their tag from where it hangs with all other members' tags, and hang it on the game board. When they do this, they select which position they would like to play, skip, vice, or lead. This enables players to play a position where they feel comfortable. By 10am, all tags should be up, and some minor adjustments are done to ensure all teams are full. Games can be pairs or triples, so all players can always be accomodated. When the board is set, the member in charge of the draw will produce a basket with colored chips in it, white for leads, red for vice, and blue for skips. Position by position, the names on the board will be called out, with that person coming up and randomly drawing a chip from the basket. That chip says which team they are on. This ensures that the teams are completely random, and there is no stacking of teams. Players then go to their assigned rinks and wait and see who shows up on their team.

Members are encouraged to have their tags 15 minutes before the game to give the organizers time to set the board and avoid any unnecessary delays.  As to dress code, Whites are required all day on Sunday.

On Saturday, April 2, the Long Beach Lawn Bowling Club hosted its annual Carnival Tournament.  Approximately 100 bowlers showed up from acriss Southern Californiato compete in this much anticipated tournament.  What sets Carnival apart from other tournaments is that it is set up as a draw, with no preset teams.  You enter as an individual, but bowl three games on 3 different teams.  This is a great way to get to meet bowlers from other clubs, and be exposed to many different styles of played.  It also avoids the powerhouse teams, as each person entered plays one position for the whole day, and each team has a skip, a vice, and a lead, so you don't have a team stacked with 3 skip level players.Carnival Results
