As the knees become creakier and the fitness levels drop, those of us who enjoy competition have to start looking beyond touch rugby and a footie kick around. Golf just seems like too much frustration, which is probably why some people call it a good walk spoiled.
So how can you show off your skills and save yourself the huffing and puffing that comes with too much physical exertion these days? Warm up your wrists and get ready for a game of boules – you know, the game where everyone puts on a French accent and acts at least a few years older than they really are.
You’ve got a choice between two options, one for the kiddies (or in-laws you’re not mad about) and one for the grown ups.
We’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and say you’re opting for the steel boules. Here’s what you’re getting:
