Synopsis	Jack Brown, or 'Brownie', was a remarkable bowler. He was holder of five Club Singles titles and runner-up or semi-finalist on no fewer than sixteen occasions. The merit of these performances will be appreciated when it's realised that 'Brownie' played minus his right arm - a relic of the First World War. Being naturally right-handed he had to learn to bowl with his left hand at Randwick Military Hospital, New South Wales in 1919. Following a Foreword and Introduction, brief sections on A Short History of the Game in Australia and The Game, the book, essentially a manual, is structured as follows: Fundamentals Joining a Club Equipment and Materials How the Game is Played Fours Personnel Style Bias Grip Stance Delivery Use of the Mat The Shots How to Play the Draw Shot Blocks Shot control Advanced Technique Competitive Play The drive Psychology of the Game Tactics for Singles, Pairs and Fours Teamwork A Little About Selecting A Little About Coaching Miscellaneous Items - Practise; Jack High Bowl A Little About Greens Bowls Terminology Australian Carnivals and Knockout Competitions
