Happy Father's Day to all the dads, pฤpฤ, matua, father figures, and mentors in our bowls whฤnau. ๐Ÿ’™

Today we celebrate the men who guide, support, encourage, and inspire others both on and off the green. From sharing their wisdom and volunteering their time, to helping new bowlers feel welcome and supporting the next generation, your impact reaches far beyond the game.

Whether you're a dad, grandad, stepdad, foster dad, kaitiaki, or a trusted role model, thank you for the countless ways you help make our clubs and communities stronger.

We hope you enjoy a well-earned day surrounded by family, friends, and those who matter most.

Happy Father's Day from all of us at Bowls New Zealand. ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ’™
