Bowls England National Championships (men's singles four wood)

The men's singles four wood is one of the events at the annual Bowls England National Championships.

The four-wood singles is the traditional variation of the game; see Glossary of bowls terms.

History
The singles event was originally contested to win the Sir Thomas Brook Hitchen gold medal and then from 1913 and 1920 it was called the Sir Thomas Lipton Cup.

The 1908 final was started at the Upper Clapton greens but was suspended with Knight leading 14–7 following the death of the skip during the fours event. The final resumed at the Streatham Constitutional Club the following day.
