Robert Gourlay

Precision Sports

Robert S Gourlay is a former Hong Kong international lawn bowler whose recorded career is tied to the British Empire and Commonwealth Games of the 1950s. At the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Vancouver he won a silver medal in the fours, bowling in a team with Alfred Coates and the brothers Raoul da Luz and Jose da Luz. He also competed at the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Cardiff, Wales. Lawn bowls is a precision sport in which players roll biased bowls towards a small target ball, and the fours is the team event in which four bowlers play together for one side. The article records no other results for him. This entry rests on a short English Wikipedia article, so it is deliberately limited to those two Games.
