Home My WebLink AboutThe Huron Expositor, 1995-07-12, Page 6S -THE HURON EXPOSITOR, July 12, 1111111 Ontario championships at local links The best young golfers in this province are competing for The Ellis Trophy here in Seaforth at the Ontario Junior Girls' Championship. Tuesday through Thursday. It is the first time the 69 - year -old, 54 -hole championship has been held at the Seaforth Golf & Country Club. . Four of last year's, top five finishers . are in the 57 -player field, including the defending champion . Andrea Lavelle from the Sunningdale and Highland clubs in London. She was 14 for last year's tournament at Dundee near Kitchener. But that didn't stop her from finishing with a score of 236, . four strokes up on second -place finisher Rebecca Sargeant from Couchiching. The runner-up is also entered in this week's championships at Seaforth, as are last year's third and fourth -place finishers, Theresa McDermott of Cherry Downs Golf and Country Club (243) and Tamra Jones of Idylwylde (244). Cheryl Tooshkenig, who shot a 235 to win the annual Les Thomas London and District junior championship by an almost unbelievable 18 strokes at Thames Valley last week, must also be considered a front runner. She hails from Wal- laceburg and plays out of Echo Valley in Sarnia. One of the youngest golfers in this year's field is from Huron County, 12 -year-old Lindsay McEwin from the Bayfield area. She lists Bluewater as her home club but has also taken lessons here at the Seaforth club. Two bud- ding Kincardine golfers are also playing - Joline Bell and Catherine McLeod from that Bruce County•community. The four low scorers from this week's stroke -play com- petition will make the Ontario inter -provincial team represen- - ting the province at the Canadian Junior Ladies' Cham- pionship to be played at Loret- teville, Quebec from August 7 through 10. Regional team play also is an important competitive aspect of the competition. The Ontario junior match - play squad will also be deter- mined at the tournament, as will the members of this year's team for Ontario/Quebec junior matches. Junior golfers become ineligible for this level of com- petition the day they turn 19. The juvenile girls' champion- ship, for those not yet 16 years of age, will also be settled. If there are playoffs they will be sudden -death. Donna Teasdale is in charge of public relations for the On- tario Ladies' Golf Association at this week's tournament. She says the junior girls' champion- ship often doesn't draw well unless it is near a big city, so is hoping many area enthusiasts show up for this week's play. Admission and parking are free. She adds many have gone on to further fame and fortune after successful Ontario junior golf careers, for instance Barb Bunkowsky currently on the LPGA tour and Marlene Streit; The latter is the only woman amateur golfer to have won the Canadian, United States, British and Australian Amateur championships. The Seaforth club is a par -71, 5301 -yard course. LINDSAY MCEWIN An `up-and-comer'. Lindsay McEwin of RR 1 Bayfield had a birthday last month, June 19 to be exact.

The 17 -year-old Seaforth golfer was buried off the back of the head by an errant golf ball Sunday and spent the night in hospital. But he's "a gamer" and was off with six others to the Op- timist Junior Golf Tournament at Doon Valley the following day. Marion and David Hiltz are packing an impressive one-two punch in arca junior golf this summer. Yesterday (Tuesday) they were off to compete in the three-day Ontario Junior Golf Championships at Listowel. Hiltz, 18, topped the 50 - player field by shooting a 75 at the' regional qualifying tour- nament at New Dundee two weeks ago Monday. Marion finished second, one stroke back at 76. Both boys have been golfing since they were about five years old, and both have worked at the Seaforth Golf and Country Club for the past several summers. Marion lives on Victoria Street in Seaforth and Hiltz lives in Clinton. Last week Hiliz came char- ging with a final round 72, for a throe -round score of 226 to finish in a three-way tic for second place, two off the pace, at the Les Thomas London and Distric( junior golf champion- ship at Thames Valley. Entering the final day's play, Marion was one shot behind the co -leaders, in a group tied tor third at the tournament, but it was not his day and his score ballooned to finish eighth. There are about 150 golfers shooting for top spot at this week's Ontario Junior in Lis- towel. Five other juniors from the Seaforth club were at Mon- day's tournament at Doon Valley. The others - were Keegan Teichert, Mark Phil- lips, Ryan Willis, Kyle Hender- son and Derek Nesbitt.
