Carel’s journey in bowls began after a serious knee injury brought an end to his rugby career. In 1989, he stepped onto the green—and what followed has been a remarkable and enduring contribution to the sport and our club.

Since joining Louis Trichardt Bowls Club in the late 1990s, Carel has achieved exceptional success, claiming numerous club championships over the years.

Among his many memorable moments, Carel highlights the joy of competing alongside family, including a proud third-place finish in a tournament, as well as representing the province with his eldest son in the Spec Savers Pro 10.
