COMMENTS
By BATTEN, Sports Editor
WE PLEAD GI iLTY
Fortunately for us, the present inspector of
public schools was not living in the area when
we .reeeiv.,ed our elementary education or there
is a slight chance that we would still be occupying
seat in the local educational edifice.
Following our remarks of criticism about
the Enter Golf Club not planning any tournaments,
for Allan .Westcott's course, John Goman suggest-
ed he would gladly recommend Us for a course
In primary reading because the list of tour'na-
'ments sent to us did in fact note that at least two.
affairs 'were planned for the local nine-hole lay-
out.
We told him that the person who first made
the complaint had even more education than yours
truly, but this defense was to little avail as John
promptly retorted he would gladly recommend
him for a similar course.
However, after having our blunder clearly
pointed out we must apologize to the club and emu-
mend them for scheduling play on the local course.
While they only have a couple of tourneys
slated for the Exeter course it may appear they
Are still not giving it enough support. However,
the president who happens to sit in the office
next to us, pointed out that this was actually not
an exclusive Exeter club because it gathered its
membership from 'Tedford, Grand Bend and
Parkhill and was only named as the Exeter Golf
Club for reasons that we won't bother to divulge,
From these facts it can be shown that Grand
Bend is the natural centre for the club. However,
we have little doubt that as Allan gets his course
into better shape there will be more interest in
the game and it won't, be too long before there
Will be enough golfers in the immediate district
to form a club that will play almost exclusively at
the nine-hole layout.
IMPROVING RAPIDLY.
Naturally as a hard working (?-7.7) sports
editor we don't find too much free time to cavort
around golf courses ant so it actually wasn't until
last week that we found an opportunity to play a
few holes on the new course,
We were certainly pleasantly surprised at
the rapid advancement Allan has made with his
,course and it will only be a couple of years before
it will be in A-1 shape. The greens were just
opened for play before our outing, and while they
naturally still leave a bit to be desired, they are
coming along rapidly as well.
Interest in the course is also growing and
many from the area have taken advantage of the
low rates to take out a membership and the ladies'
. club and the junior duffers are scheduling most
oi their play at the course.
This venture was certainly a big gamble for
Allan, but with his continued hard work we have
ho fear but what he will get the support he de-
Serves from area sportsmen which includes those
who take the game seriously or those who just
play for the fresh air and exercise.
SUCCESSFUL SEASON CLOSES
While we were touring the course we strip•
ped to the waist -to take advantage of the beauti-
ful sunny weather and one of our so-called bud-
dies took one look and suggested we might be
it the market for some sort of a foundation gar-
nvant to hold our protruding stomach in so we
'Could at least see the ball when we teed off.
However, we pointed out to this gentleman
(who was in no "shape" to be talking like this
himself) that we were presently on the bowling
'banquet tour and with the meals put up by the
.Legion Auxiliary it was indeed a difficult task to
-pass up their tasty dishes.
Our several excursions to the Legion ball
have proven once again that bowling is still the
roost popular winter sport in town and judging
from the scores recorded this must be one of the
Most successful years yet.
It started off with the junior bash a few
weeks ago and once again the kids were walking
to the platform to accept trophies for feats that
made us just a wee hit weak.
Certainly the most commendable was Don -L. Campbell's sparkling 358 single in the bantam
boys' division. However, Doug Beaver's 310 and
a 308 by Larry Hockey were worth mention as
well. Don Wright, one of the best bowlers regard-
less of age on the local lanes, topped the averages
with a mark of 215, and sent his name into the
:local record book with a 400 single bowled during
the Christmas vacation in non-league action.
The girls were naturally below these figures
but Joan Essery's 278 single proves they aren't
far behind their male cohorts.
We then travelled to Clinton for the inter-
;town fete and again Exeter's Itchy Six brought
'home the trophy for winning the league over the
regular schedule and Jim Hennessey's "B" squad
repeated as playoff champs in that division.
Another feat recorded by the Exeter entry
was Bob Osgood's winning mark of 242 in the
averages. (We used to. be exuberant when we had
,a single that high.) Phil Haugh brought another
'trophy home with her 331 single in the ladies'
division.
The _mi4;.ed league in town had singles of
309 and 336 thrown by Lorraine Brock and Jim
Fairbairn respectively, while Mary GUM). and Reg
.StAgg topped the triple divisions with marks of
`123 and 817. Wilma Brintell's 334 in the playoffs
came too late to Win her a trophy.
Norma Coleman established a new mark in
ti e ladies' division with her 393 singit„ but it came
in. ti.e playoffs and the trophy was won by Audrey
;Dooley who had a mark of 371 and a triple figure
`.bis 813 to go with it.
_ SharoftAppleton's single, of 332 was the
best in the "P" group, edging Happy Cutting by
only six pins, parb Miller's 750 triple was, high in
that division While Dot Monroe proved site is still

No home run records

to be broken this season in a
sidelight vote for individual
awards,
