The accomplished veteran of area links from Stratford, who is a teacher and moving to Egmondville in a couple of weeks, finished four strokes ahead of a trio tied for second at par 70 in the twenty-third renewal of the' event, the largest regular tournament of the season at the local course. They were Randy Binkley of Hanover, Rick Fifield of St. Marys and Paul Herbrand of of London. Right behind in the 180 - player field was Seaforth's own Chris Marion, 17, with a year of junior eligibility left, who fired a one -over 71, good enough for a tie for fifth. Bill Dale of Seaforth had the best low net score in the field, scoring a 64. A large contingent from Bermuda, as usual, this time made up of 10 golfers, attender the annual international tour- nament. The field also included players from Florida, Ottawa, the State of Delaware, many from Toronto and about 50 from Seaforth and area. Joe Lindo's gross score of 78 was the best of the Bermudian contingent. Ken Doig Sr. scored a 65 to win fust flight low net honours, followed by Herb Cowan and Jerry Wright of Seaforth. Once again Velma Miller of Seaforth catered the tour- nament, for the twenty-third consecutive time. Other local Saturday scores of interest include: 1st Flight: Paul Selby, 75, gross. 2nd Flight: Frank Verberne, 82, gross; Mike Marion, 85, gross; Wade Lee, 72, net. 3rd Flight: Gross Davemaker, 79; Greg Preszcator, 82. Net Jason Patterson, 67; Charlie Smith, 71; Terry Johnston, 72; Gus Feeney, 73. 4th Flight: Gross Bob Kistner, 83; Eddy Nielsen, 90; Ike Hildebrand, 90. Net John Patterson, 66; Colin Young, 66. Seaforth-area golfer wins junior event Clinton's Dave Hiltz has had a summer he won't soon forget in his final season of junior golf. The 18 -year-old, who has worked for the past several seasons at the Seaforth Golf and Country Club, shot a three - under par 67 to win the recent Junior Invitational at those same local links. The outcome wasn't decided until the 18th hole though, where co-worker Chris Marion of Seaforth double-bogied to finish three strokes back at par. Hiltz, who earlier last month finished a respectable 24th in a field of 150 at the Canadian Junior Golf Championships at St. John, New Brunswick, will be too old to be eligible for junior next year but hopes to earn a golf scholarship David Hiltz somewhere in the United States. He's had about 15 letters from interested schools. The greens were "quick" with "deceptive" slopes at the big - league Riverside course that overlooks the Bay of Fundy a' St. John, Hiltz said, after car- ding rounds of 75, 79, 79 and 78 for a total of 311, 22 shots back of the winner. "It was playing hard," he said. "There were a lot of good first rounds and I didn't think my result would be that good." Hiltz is in his final year of high school at Clinton. He was in hospital with colitis this past weekend. He qualified for the national championship at the provincial event earlier this summer, after topping the field at the regional qualifying tournament where Marion, 17, finished second. He also qualified for the Canadian Junior but didn't go. Hiltz has golfed com- petitively for the past sic seasons. Prior to this summer he says his most satisfying finish in a big tournament was 19th in the 1994 Ontario Junior at Barrie. Pro pitcher replies to letter Sports editor's note: The Boston Red Sox of baseball's professional American League have a rookie pitcher with the moniker Tim VanEgmond. Expositor fan and baseball "groupie" Dave Scott called editor Tim Cumming, on a slow and sunny day not so long ago, and wondered out loud whether this VanEgmond might in any way be related to the Van Egmonds who founded the village of Egmondville, just up the road, a question we expect many baseball fans might have also asked. So our Tim tracked down the address of the Bosox and fired off a tetter. It turns out the Red Sox chucker calls Sharpsburg, Georgia home. Last week the following reply arrived, complete with rookie card: Dear Mr Cumming, It is very strange to see my name in print not to mention a town named after it. Here's the story but it might not be what you expect. My father's name was John VanEgmond. He and my mom split up when I was very young. He never contacted me and I'M sure he had his reasons. I heard that the last place he was supposed to be was Ottawa, Canada. Strange huh, so I'm probably related to the others. I don't really know why 1 kept the name but I did and I like it. I'm happy to see that the name is fairly prominent. I have no information on the VanEgmond name if you could send me some I would be delighted. My mom never really mentioned my dad and I never really asked. I don't even know if I would like to know. If you happen to know him tell him...Hi, and that what happened was a long time ago. Anyway that's how I got the name, as well as my little brother Joey. He is 23. I've enclosed a baseball card if you would like one. Sincerely, Tim VanEgmond Cents embarrass champion The Seaforth Centenaires rocked the defending -champion Trojans 9-2 on their own pond in Thamesford in exhibition Ontario Hockey Association Junior "D"evelopment League exhibition action Friday night. And you can bet the mortgage the Trojans will be "loaded for bear" when the two teams meet again for a return pre -season engagement in Seaforth a week Saturday. Meanwhile, the Centenaires play their third pre -season game at Seaforth this Friday night at 8:30 p.m., when they host the perennially powerful Hanover Barons of the Western Junior C League. "1 think ` maybe we caught them with their pants down," Centenaires co-head coach Dave Murray said after Friday night's occasionally awesome offensive display from the Seaforth side. Both he and counterpart Jim Campbell were particularly impressed with the Cents' powerplay for so early in the season. It connected six times. The Trojans have been to the OHA final five of the last six seasons,' and won all of the marbles four of those years. Friday night's exhibition was the first time Seaforth coaches have mixed veterans, rookies and prospects in their roster. Eight veterans did not play for one reason or another, it being frosh week at most colleges and universities. Steve Mclnally lel the way with two goals and two assists. Seaforth outshot the Trojans 43-31. Troy Chessell of Stratford played a credible first half of the game in the Seaforth net, especially for someone who had never played more than major bantam. Midget -aged goalie Scott Wood of Seaforth finished, playing an aggressive style that allowed not a single puck past him. Thamesford scored first and the two teams were tied 2-2 after the first period. The Cen- tenaires scored four unanswered goals in the second 20 minutes of play. Dylan Wick, Jeff Volland, J.C. Kirk, Jason Smith and Andrew Scott also scored for the Centenaires.
