Part 2 : Penang state can have 500 #swimming pools if only....

 

 

What is the next 500 sport facilities come together with the swimming pools?

Right, you can think of many sports which do not need big practise venues. But our sports minister think other wise. The don't have the brain to think better. 

Here, we like to make a suggestion of not so popular sport but it has century old history, lawn bowling.

Bowls originated in ancient Egypt and has been played in England since the 13th century. It waxed and waned in popularity until the mid-19th century, when it experienced a revival, especially in Scotland. The Scots developed flat greens and drew up rules that remain largely unchanged.

Now, the lawn bowls field is larger than the a half Olympic size swimming pool .

What size are Lawn Bowls Greens?

a. Greens are normally between 34 - 40 metres (37 - 44 yards) and require to be rectangular or square.

In short, on top of the half Olympic swimming pools can not build lawn bowl field. At least there would be more than 100 lawn bowl fields can be built in Penang, thus, there are more sport facilities for the residents in Penang.

 

Of course, this will popularise the lawn bowls and Malaysia can have more medals from Penang players for the lawn bowls event.

 


 Disabled persons can also play the lawn bowls too.


One stone kills many birds, isn't it ?
