Bowl in the Sun Where Fun’s Number One!
Southeast Division and our 14 clubs hold numerous tournaments throughout the year.
The East Coast Challenge is being played again this year! This annual lawn bowls tournament is known for its camaraderie between teams of 15 players from the Northeast and Southeast Divisions of Bowls USA. That said, it is a highly competitive event with each division playing their best to win the coveted Motta Trophy and bragging rights! On September 19-21, we will be back at the Pinehurst Country Club in Pinehurst, NC. Proudly representing the SED will be: Jackie Tucker, Dan Delgarn, Martha Nilsen, Alan Veitch and Vicki Haidet from the Pinehurst LBC; Roy Moore from Asheville LBC; Bob Fladung, Ken Martucci, Karen Turman, Randy Lofrumento, Ron Ridley, Susan Finn, and Dave Wilson from Sun City Center LBC; Rick Fitzgerald, Jane Zulia, Bud Ricucci, and Ron Linde from Mount Dora LBC; and Rusty Hein and Ted Wilson from Sarasota LBC. If in the next several weeks you see these players practicing, cheer them on!
Congratulations
The winners of the Southeast Division Playdowns now go on to represent the SED at the U.S. National Championships, Laguna Beach, CA., October 19-25, 2025.
George Tucker Recognized
On March 1, 2025, at the Mount Dora Lawn Bowls Club in Florida, Jackie Tucker received a plaque recognizing George Tucker’s contribution to the sport of lawn bowling from the Southeast Division. George was a past president of the Pinehurst LBC and won many tournaments including the US Open in Fours. He was also runner up in Singles at the National Championships. He was the club champion 7 times here at Pinehurst. George passed away in 2021 but his wife continues to contribute to the sport in training of new bowlers and development of players wanting to represent the USA in International play. More . . .
