Irish Road Bowling in Indian Lake

About this event

Come in costume, bring friends, and a big cooler to enjoy the greatest sport out of Ireland since soccer.

Over the years this event has grown from about 20 to over 200 players and has become a community favorite!

Like traditional Irish Road Bowling, the event is played on a country road with multiple obstacles such as turns, inclines, ruts, etc to make the game more challenging!

Each team consists of four players. Two teams are matched up at a time to begin play. Each player rolls a bullet, which is an iron ball about the size of a bocce ball, using an underhanded technique. After Player 1 from each team takes their turn, all players move forward to the spot where the bullet landed. Player 2 then rolls from that location, and this continues for all players.

Once the first two teams have cleared the play area, the next two teams are brought in to begin their turn, similar to teeing off in golf. Each roll counts towards the team's total, and the team with the fewest rolls upon reaching the finish line is declared the winner. 

In the event of a tie, the last roll of each tied team is measured, and the team whose roll traveled the farthest beyond the finish line wins the tie.
