from $8,000 to $15,000; therefore, she did not compete in
professional tournaments.
Mrs. Whitehurst practiced bowling several times during the
week, including evenings and lunch breaks from her full-time job.
She also bowled in a league.
Except for one tournament in Las Vegas, Nevada, to which she
flew, Mrs. Whitehurst drove to bowling tournaments in Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida.
Although she usually traveled alone, on occasion she traveled
with her husband, children, or James Godwin, her father and
coach. Most tournaments began on either a Thursday or Friday and
ended on a Sunday.
Mrs. Whitehurst competed in 39 bowling tournaments in 1997,
48 in 1998, and 43 in 1999. She placed first in three
tournaments, second in five tournaments, and in the top 20 in
eight tournaments from 1997 through 1999. Discouraged by her
lack of success in winning tournaments, Mrs. Whitehurst did not
compete in bowling tournaments after 2000, and her bowling
activity ceased. At the time of trial, she continued to bowl
with a bowling league.
