Considered a phenomenon in lawn bowls folklore, the career of Northland Bowls' most successful player, Wayne Wrack, has been just that; phenomenal.
After 40 years in the game, Wrack recorded his most successful season in 2014-15, picking up five Centre titles - the equivalent to a Gold Star during the one season.
This was a follow-up to what had been a record-breaking 2013-14 season, a feat not seen since the inception of the Centre in 1927.
Wrack received notice through the Maungaturoto Bowling Club, recently, informing him that the Centre felt his credentials made him a worthy candidate for the Bowls New Zealand Male Player of the Year award.
Unfortunately Wrack felt the fact that he didn't win the Bowler of the Year for his Centre might impede his chances of success.
