For 14 -year-old golfer John Bedour, it's
been a "pretty good" season so far.
Bedour is recently returned from the Tyson
Tour, where he scored a 70 at the Forest City
National to take first place with one under
par.
Bedour also took a third place finish in the
tour's Sarnia stop, shooting a 73 for the day.
At the Canadian Optimist Junior Golf Na-
tional Championships in Ingersoll, Aug. 10-
12, Bedour narrowly missed the cut by one
stroke, shooting 81. and 78. However, the
young golfer said he has plenty of room to
grow. •
One of the more challenge aspects of the
game, he said, comes from older competi-
tion. In the junior golf equation, time equals
distance.
"I'm still one of the younger ones, out
there," he said. "The older ones tend to hit a
bit further than I do."
He said his short game is the best part of
his round and he hopes to work on his long
ball for next year.
Bedour said he intends to build up his
strength over the winter so he can increase
his distance on the fairway.
"I want *to get stronger," he said. "And try
to hit the ball further."
Now off the tour, Bedour said he will be
taking part in local club championships at
Maitland, Sunset and Seaforth. His season
is still far from over, however he already has
his sights set on more provincial tournaments
next year.

Summer attendance up at YMCA
signal -star staff
While an unusually rainy
summer may have kept kids
indoors more often, there is
no slowing down of youth
engaging in physical activ-
ity in Goderich, according
to the YMCA.
Kids programs coordina-
tor at the Goderich Y, Amy
Wei, said attendance has
been great this year for kids
programming, and espe-
cially for sports camps.
A total of 216 children
registered this year, com-
pared to 176 in 2008, and
Wei said even with a shaky
economy, things are going
well at the YMCA.
"It's been very popular,"
she said. "We do the regu-
lars, basketball, baseball,
soccer, ultimate frisbee...
But we did have specialties
with foil -fencing and karate
and bowling as well."
