David G Hull (born 1944) is a Northern Irish international lawn and indoor bowler. [1]
Bowls or lawn bowls is a sport in which the objective is to roll biased balls so that they stop close to a smaller ball called a "jack" or "kitty". It is played on a bowling green which may be flat or convex or uneven. It is normally played outdoors and the outdoor surface is either natural grass, artificial turf, or cotula.
He won a bronze medal in the triples at the 1976 World Outdoor Bowls Championship in Johannesburg. [2]
A bronze medal in sports and other similar areas involving competition is a medal made of bronze awarded to the third-place finisher of contests or competitions such as the Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games, etc. The outright winner receives a gold medal and the second place a silver medal. More generally, bronze is traditionally the most common metal used for all types of high-quality medals, including artistic ones. The practice of awarding bronze third place medals began at the 1904 Olympic Games in St. Louis, Missouri, before which only first and second places were awarded.
The 1976 Men's World Outdoor Bowls Championship was held at Zoo Lake Park in Johannesburg, South Africa, from 18 February - 6 March 1976.
Johannesburg, informally known as Jozi or Joburg, is the largest city in South Africa and one of the 50 largest urban areas in the world.
