Before you go out onto the green to practice, set yourself a goal to achieve while you're there.  Be sure of what you are going out there for and practice on your own, unless you are doing it with someone who's practicing the same thing.
 

	You will need two (2) jacks and one mat.
	Set your first jack at long length.
	Deliver all four bowls either backhand or forehand.
	When your first four bowls have been played to the set jack, place the second jack on the green just in front of the center of the mat.  Lift the mat and take it with you to the opposite end of the rink, placing it just behind the jack you were playing to and, at the same time, remove this jack.
	Repeat this routine up and down the rink as long as you continue to practice, remembering always to delivery four bowls going up on the forehand and four going down on the backhand.  In this way, you will always be bowling on one side of the green only during practice.

Remember, you must be a master of all lengths, so practice to every length.
