Sandy Houston

Precision Sports

Alexander Houston, known as Sandy, was born around 1894, with no recorded date of death, and was a Canadian international lawn bowler. He was born in Torbanlea, Australia, moved to Scotland in 1902 and to Canada in 1922. He competed in the first World Bowls Championship, held in Kyeemagh, New South Wales, Australia, in 1966, and won a silver medal in the triples there with Karl Beacom and John Henderson. The source consulted records no other results, so this entry rests on that silver medal and his biography.
