Jackie Tucker with her husband George, retired to Pinehurst, NC in 1998. George took up lawn bowling first since Jackie played tennis and golf. In 2002, the North American Challenge was hosted in Pinehurst and the rest is history. Jackie joined George in lawn bowling and became an avid bowler leaving golf and tennis behind. They started spending their winters in Sun City, AZ where she honed her bowling skills in challenging competition. They traveled the circuit of Divisional Opens starting in Arizona, then to Florida, then to California and return to Pinehurst until August when they traveled to the Northeast for their Open.
