George Wilson

Precision Sports

George L Wilson was a South African international lawn bowler born in 1903; the date of his death is not recorded in the source. His career highlight came at the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Vancouver, where he won a gold medal in the fours, bowling alongside Frank Mitchell, Wilfred Randall and John Anderson. Away from the green he worked as an engineer by trade. The available record of his career is brief, and the article names this single gold medal as his achievement.
