Highton Bowls Club - Coaches, Umpires, Greens & Gardens

Umpires - Although not having the rough and tumble decisions required in some other sports bowls umpires have a difficult job. The thirds have had a go but it still needs players to assume the dual role of umpire to make decisions on differences of less than a millimeter.

Coaches - The development of bowlers is carried out by a dedicated group of coaches. These people all have put in a lot of their own time to learn extra about the game of bowls and the skills involved. They have all been trained in the techniques to enable them to convey their knowledge of the skills of the game to many of the Highton players both new and older bowlers.

Greens Staff - Hightons greens are arguably the best greens in the district. This has been achieved through an excellent effort by our Greenkeeper and his set of volunteer staff. Most of these staff are retired men who contribute to the ultimate enjoyment of all bowlers who come to play at Highton.
October 2007 saw the opening of the new innovative TifDwarf Green. This is a surface that many have said wouldn't grow south of Rochester then changed their mind and said wouldn't grow south of the Great Divide.  Looking forward to fantastic play on this new surface that not only has different grass but is being watered from sub-terrainan feeds cutting down significantly on the water lost through evaporation when jusing sprinklers.

Gardens - Regarded as the best setting in the GDBA the gardens at Highton make it a most enjoyable place to even just visit let alone play bowls.
