Whenever it is a lovely day outside I like to play bocce ball in my backyard.
I never played bocce ball before but have had interest in it. apparently, it is making a comeback and is more popular than it once was. a lot of adults in their 20s and 30s are playing more. its also a very relaxing game to play after working all day. is you have been playing bocce ball for a long time, you must be decent at the game haha
Yes, it used to be considered a game for older people. But I am so happy to see that it is gaining mainstream momentum. While I have been playing for a while, I do not think I am very good at it still!
i had no idea bocce ball if referred to as italian lawn bowling.  it also happens to be a game that dates back to 5000 BC, where there are cave paintings of Egyptians playing a game that resembles bocce ball. 
Yes, my family has Italian origins and that is why we play it so often. "Bocce" is the Italian word for ball. So, it sounds a little silly in English because it is essentially called "ball ball".
wow that is fascinating. and the game includes 8 large balls and one small ball which is referred to as a pallina?
Yes, that is correct. The pallina is thrown at the start of the game, and then each player tries to throw their bocce closest to the pallina
interesting and the balls are thrown overhand? there's also a foul line?
I believe the balls must be thrown underhand, but the official rules could state otherwise. The foul line is placed to prevent people from getting too close to the pallino when they throw. The idea is to have everyone at the same starting position.
wow so you play bocce ball a lot to know all of this. George Washington did when he was alive as well. I might have to try it some time
