Carol Carter going for gold
in national ladies' lawn
bowling championships
By Jason Middleton
Expositor Staff
A member of the Seaforth
Lawn Bowling Club is going
for Canadian gold at
the Canadian Lawn
B owling
Championship.
Playing in a
doubles team, long
time lawn bowler
Carol Carter, of
Mitchell, will face off
in the Canadian
championships, which
are taking place in
Woodstock and
Kitchener from Aug.
15 to 20.
This is the fourth
time Carter has
headed to the
Canadian Lawn
B owling
Championships in the
past six years.
In a ladies' fours
team, Carter won the
gold in 1999, won
silver in 2000 and
gold again in 2004.
Carter said that the only
reason she is not competing
in ladies' fours again this
year is because one of her
teammates was asked to play
in an international lawn
bowling' tournament in
Ireland at the same time as
the Canadian championships.
Soon after she realized she
could not play as a foursome,
Carter was asked by a long-
time acquaintance Maureen
Thompson to compete with
her at the Ontario ladies'
pairs tournament held in
early July in Burlington.
This year, Carter will play
in the Canadian
championships in the doubles
competition with Thompson,
of London, a member of the
Seaforth Lawn Bowling Club
and London's Fairmont Lawn
Bowling Club.
"I've known her for a long
time, but I've never ever
bowled with her;" said Carter.
who will he the team's lead.
When the two bowled
together at the Ontario
championship they won four
straight games and took gold,
making them Ontario's 'A'
women's double team in the
Canadian championship.
"Our chemistry just
works," Carter said. "So
hopefully we'll continue that
good bowling."
Carter admitted that she's
glad she won't have
Maureen Thompson and Carol Carter
to travel as far as
British Columbia
(where the event was
held last year) to get
to this year's
nationals.
"I seem to
get a little stressed,
I'm not a traveller,"
she said.
To prepare
for the Canadian
championship,
Carter said that she's
been lawn bowling
20 hours a week, but
not with her partner.
"As long as
we bowl, it doesn't
matter," she said.
