Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1957-05-30, Page 11The golf course formerly known as the Bayfield Gblf and Country Club, which was closed with the outbreak of World War II, has now been officially opened for play, The new name is the Bayfield- Clinton Golf Course and the own- er, Fred W. Hulls, is waiting to meet golfers from the Clinton- Hayfield area. The opening of the course is the realization of a dream that started almost at the time the Bayfield Golf and Country Club• ceased to exist. Fred acquired 51 acres of the property in 1955 and later purchased an additional 15 acres. Levelling was begun in the fall of 1955, Some fences were• removed and other installed, During the summer- of 1956 a temporary course was open for operation and , in the fall the greens and tees were installed. The total yardage of the course is 2,480 for the nine holes. Club House. Built The club hpuse was built last fall and it contains modern wash- rooms, a snack bar and a well- equipped pro shop which has most of the needs of a golfer as far as equipment and accessories are concerned. A complete watering system has also been installed and pipes have been laid to most of the greens where an extra special type of grass has been sawn. This grass is the same as used in the greens of the leading course in Western Ontario. Approximately 600 small trees have been planted this'ough- out the course. Another man who has been ac- tive in .the construction since the beginning is John Parker, Bay- field. John has played a major Fish and Game PAGE ELEVEN Don Epps Earns Veinier Trophy At Kippen Shoot Don Epps, Clinton, walked off with top honors at Kipper Gun Club, with 49 of 50 birds broken to win the Venner Trophy.

He 'will be behind• the desk in the club house waiting to give all golfers a cordial welcome. IBig Plans Although temporary greens are still in effect the owner states that they will all be playable by' July 1. It is the, desire of the management to make this one of the best nine-hole golf courses in Western Ontario and towards this goal they anticipate turning the first $500 that they ieceive from memberships and daily fees to- ward the purchase of fertilizer to help develop the fairways and greens. The course should be a definite asset to Clinton and Hay- field as it will certainly attract many tourists who follow the game. You are invited to come to Bayfield and try out the course. Last weekend, the first of the season, golfers were out from Preston, TOronto,' Goderich, Lon- don, Mitchell, RCAF Station Clip-' ton and Clinton, 1100100.

NOW READ THIS!!! Every spring, local fire departments are called upon to suppress grass fires that "got away". Here are, some of the precautions recom- mended by Lands and Forests of- ficers who point out that green grass does not benefit from being burned off in the spring but rather is harmed because fire robs the soil of organic matter and will burn down into the roots, result- ing in poor stands• of grass or hay: 1. Don't throw matches or cigar- ette butts out of car windows. 2. Plan in advance if the grass on, a vacant lot or field is to be burned off. 3. Have a tractor or a team with a plough available to plough a furrow or two to stop grass fires. 4. Keep a stipply of water ready when burning debris. 5. Keep the fire at all times un- der proper supervision. 6. Keep shovels and brooms handy ,to beat out fire. 7. Don't light grass fires near buildings or wooded areas. 8. Never let children play With matches. HARRY WtLLIAMS MANY (7 I FARMERS .

This compact nine-hole course has been expertly laid out by Fred Hulls, the owner, who 'has had many years experience in this field. Fred was born at Downs- view, Ontario, and it would seem that he was destined to be in the golfing profesAion. His father was the manager of the Georgetown golf course and-Fred in his young- er days worked as a caddy' and greenskeeper. Even the farm on which he was born has long since disappeared and a golf course has taken its place. Mr. Hulls has been pro and manager at the Saugeen Golf Course between Port and Southampton for 30 years. He has taken part in the laying out of several golf courses in that' area including the one at Ausable Beach and the additional nine holes at his home course. Son In Charge Kenneth Hulls, 18-year-old son of the owner will be in charge of the Bayfield-Clinton course this summer. Ken, like his father, was born with a golf club in his hand. He has been his father's assistant for several years and for the bene- fit of those who want competition he has already competed' quite successfully in several tour- er; pole vault, Bob Miller, 6'2", John Bylsma, P.
