History

The club was organized in 1962, soon after the first residents moved into the then new Del Webb retirement community of Sun City. The first games were rolled on the new green in June, 1963, and club membership grew rapidly. Members did all the work in construction of a second green, which was completed in 1969.

The national organization (originally American Lawn Bowls Association and now Bowls USA) published a periodical beginning in 1962. Clubs were invited to send items for publication and a lot of history can be gleaned from those articles. The text, publication date and page of reports by our club are included below.
