The Hog Line.

The Hog Line Marker.

**********************

The Hog Line in the game of Lawn Bowls is always marked on the back board of the Ditch, in most cases with a coloured painted line. Some clubs, as with the Vic West club, have gone a little further and have a wooden cut out of a Hog screwed to the back board as in the drawing above.

In this next drawing you can see the lines drawn in yellow marked D & B. These represent the position of the Hog Lines. Recently Bowls Canada has made a rule change in the distance of the Hog Lines from the Ditch. Now the distance from A to B or C to D on the drawing shall be 23 metres. The distance from the leading edge of the mat to be no more than 21 metres.
