Canada letter to the editor Help with identities I sere is an update to the com- munity about the East Ashfield history book. It is being laid out as you read this with photos and text, in preparation for the press. Despite the news releases, on-line notices, letters in mail boxes and direct phone calls over the last five years, there are still some who have no idea the book is being prepared. We have the usual lovely old photos of families but it is the families of today that really make the book more current; not just a repeat of past publications. We 'do have some young families who have emailed their photos to me and I thank them so much. And we have others who have been contacted and have failed to respond one way or the other to the requests for information or photos. We have some farms that have been in the same family name for not two or three gener- ations, but four or five and all we have is the land registry work and what we can glean from mar- riage, birth and death records of old. We also have class photos from Brookside School that are unnamed. We have 1978-79 Grade 6 and 7; 1979-1980 Grade 7 and 8; 1976-1977 Grade 5; 1969-1970 Grade 7, grade 5 -6, and Grade 8; and 1971-1972 grade 7. If you were in school then please call and help us identify these students. We could also use a photo from the last five years if there is a family willing to send one in. - This is the editor's last chance to clean up some huge gaps. If you have been contacted about infor- mation for the East Ashfield his- tory book this is your last chance to get the information in. Five con- cessions have already been laid out but we still have nine more to go. Deadline is one week from today and the clock is ticking. You can contact by us by email or phone, Rhea Hamilton Seeger at 519- 529-7238 kseeger@hurontel.on.ca or Debbie Bauer at 519-529-7820 wdbauer@hurontel.on.ca So looking forward to being able to hand this book to you at Christmas. -Rhea Hamilton Seeger H ave a golf bag you can travel Golf unlike any other sport in the world is a voyage. Other sports rely on fields, rinks, courts and diamonds to make their sport great. Golf has sometrof the most beautiful land- scapes, scenery and jaw dropping views. Some courses have you playing more target golf where oth- ers reward the long ball hitters. Golf travel has become one of the largest industries in the world. Golf travelers take more trips than almost any other demographic. For a golfer a golf trip is an opportunity to discover new places and try your skills at all levels of golf courses. Great times, great memories with great friends playing a great game to me it doesn't get much better than that. Bringing Your Clubs vs. Column Ashley Gravett Renting Clubs is a great debate in my household. My father never ever wants to travel without his. Having travelled to New Zealand and played 5 rounds of golf all over the country I was quite satisfied renting clubs and not having to haul them. Last winter when I worked at Provo Golf Club in the Turks and Caicos that was always a hot topic when people called. My answer was we have fan- tastic Taylormade clubs that will do the job. However if you plan to play more than 3 rounds of golf economically it is cheaper to bring your own. If you are going for a trip that has a day of golf, call the golf course a head of time and see what their rental club selec- tion includes. If you're going —for a golf trip take your clubs. A great option is "ship my sticks." Their website explains it as: "With Ship Sticks, sched- uling your shipment is fast and easy. Simply go to the website and click Ship Now. Fill in the required fields, making sure to specify your pick-up and delivery locations and dates, number and size of bags, and protection plan. You can have your clubs and luggage picked up from any- where, including your home, office or golf course. You also have the option of dropping your clubs and luggage off at a UPS or FedEx facility. From there you just follow the steps and can have your clubs wait- ing for you at the golf course when you arrive, no hassle no dragging it through an airport. Just simply easy and very accommodating. A number of years ago my father travelled to Scotland and played golf with a couple gen- tlemen from Africa and Japan. Neither of which spoke very good English but they had a fantastic day on the links and shared a great experience. That's the beauty of golf you don't have to speak the same language to get the most out of the experience you just need to have your clubs and you can play the world. So next time you take a trip consider these helpful tops and enjoy your vacation. Just don't forget to pack golf balls!
