Trophies tell a story of junior and women's golf at local club
Last week we took some
time to look at the trophies
on the mantel that have been
presented to the many male
golfers over the years. This
week we will check out the
junior trophies and the tro-•
phies presented to the female
players who have enjoyed
their moment of golfing suc-
cess at the local club.
Our junior invitational tro-
phy was donated by Gord
Sallows in 1971 for junior
competition. The trophy is
still being competed for and
is literally covered with the
little gold plates that indicate
the winners. We will have to
add a base to it like the
Stanley Cup to continue its
use in 1998.
The Gord Sallows trophy is
my favourite trophy on the
mantel because it reflects our
strong commitment to junior
golf. Many of the names
engraved on this trophy have
gone on to great success in
the sport of golf. Each year
three names are engraved for
male winners: junior champi-
on aged 17 or 18, juvenile
champion aged 14-16, and
bantam champion 13 and
under. In addition we contin-
ue to have a division for girls
although it is not contested
for every year.
In 1971 the three winners
were: Ken Doig Jr., Larry
Carter and Cam Doig. We
have a couple of great pic-
tures taken of the trophy pre-
sentation and the course, the
players and the dress code,
have changed considerably
since that time. As most of
you know, Ken Doig Jr. went
on to be a professional caddie
on the PGA Tour for 20 years
and caddied for Bob Murphy
when he won the Canadian
Open, as well as for Neil
Lancaster both times that
Lancaster shot 29 for nine
holes in US Open competi-
tion. Ken Jr. and Cam are
both employed at the
Seaforth Golf Club.
In 1972 Dave Bedour was a
winner and he is now the pro
at Maitland Golf Club in
Goderich. In 1973 Steve
Bennett was a winner and
Steve or "Weiner" as every-
one from Seaforth knows
him, is now the head pro at
Sarnia Golf and Curling
Club. Steve had a dream
come true while he was the
pro at Huron Oaks in Sarnia,
when the members flew in
Jack Nicklaus to play a head
to head match with Steve.
Steve is a very successful
teaching and playing profes-
sional in Ontario and is high-
ly respected in the golf indus-
try. Mark Kappes, Mike
Paquette and Matt Cole were
other winners in the seventies
that went on into the golf
industry. Matt plays the
Canadian Tour.
In 1979 Al Nigh and Jerry
Wright continued the
Seaforth tradition of strong
junior golf. In 1981 Greg
Core and Ray Anstett Jr.
joined Todd Doig on the tro-
phy. Todd became the third
of the Doig boys to get his
name on the Sallows trophy.
A point to note here is that
the only one of the Doig
brothers who did not win a
junior event at his home
course was Ian Doig, who
went on to be a touring pro
on the Canadian and Asian
tours before becoming a club
pro. The year that Todd won
was the year that a relatively
unknown PGA player, Gary
Koch, visited Seaforth and
presented the trophies to the
junior winners. Gary went on
to win more events on the
PGA tour, grace the cover of
several golf magazines, and
he is now one of the best
known golf colour commen-
tators on television. That was
the same year that wehad our
first junior ladies winner and
her name was Anne
Greening.
The following year was
exciting when Scott Disney
of London and Scott Kay of
Clinton were joined in the
Minor hockey amendment

Golf Notes
by C.A. Doig
Lt:J t'
'1 s 1
winner's circle by Chris
Marshall of Bermuda and
Deb Core of Seaforth. Chris
Marshall is now a club pro in
the US and his younger sister
is vying for her tour card.
In 1983 the most memo-
rable name on the trophy was
to be Mike Weir. The neat
thing about Mike's win was
that Mike came from Sarnia
and had been coached by
none other than Steve
"Weiner" Bennett. This was
the lefty's first ever win and
all Canadian golfers know of
Mike's success on the
Canadian Tour as well as his
recent accomplishment in
achieving his PGA card for
I998. We wish him well and
whenever he's giving a clinic
or demo and one of•us is in
the audience we ask very
innocently where he had his
first ever win.
Although Greg and Rob
Core are both accomplished
golfers, it's interesting to
note that Deb Core, their
younger sister actually has
her name on the trophy more
than the boys. Deb won the
girl's division three times. In
1985 Allyson Scott won the
girl's, division and we wel-
come Allyson back into our
midst this summer as she
joins us working in the
proshop. Deb Lee drove up
from Hamilton in1986 to win
the tournament outright,
defeating the junior, juvenile
and bantams in the field. Deb
eventually turned profession-
al and plays on the LPGA
and various mini -tours.
Other names of local inter-
est on the Sallows trophy
include: Mike Weber (4),
Dave Hiltz twice, Karsten
Carroll - twice, Chris Marion
(3), Jason Anstett, Derek
Nesbitt, Keegan Teichert, Jill
-Wood and current Junior
Ladies and Ladies Champion,
Lindsay McEwan. You never
know who you may be cheer-
ing for on television when
some of these young champi-
ons are older.
The Sills trophy for junior
match play competition
began in 1979 with Greg
Core taking the inaugural
title. Other winners include:
Al Nigh, Todd Doig, Rob
Core, Dave Garrick, Jason
Patterson, Geoff Lyons, Dave
McNairn, and Mike Weber.
This is one of the trophies
that has not been totally
updated and is not completed
each year. We hope that we
have a Sills trophy winner in
1998.
The ladies invitational
event began in 1979 and Jean
Cook from Stratford won the
event the first two years.
From then until 1992, that's
right for 10 years except for
1988 Shirly Lark from the
United States won the event.
i•:• ?A' .. .,,.
The most interesting part of
this story is that every year
the winner was awarded with
a Royal Doulton figurine.
Since Shirty Lark kept win-
ning we had to keep track of
the figurines that were given
out so that we wouldn't give
her the same one twice. In
1988 we found the figurine
named "Shirly", and decided
that would be appropriate.
That year Ann Adams from
Seaforth defeated Shirly Lark
and took home the Shirly fig-
urine. The following year
Shirly Lark regained the
Seaforth championship and
won the final time in 1992.
Judy Hunter, Nora West, and
Seaforth's Sharon Stephan
were the next three recipients
followed by Barb Eaton in
1996. In 1997 the format of
the event was changed to a
two person team and the win-
ners were Audrey Churchill
and Linda White from
Belmont.
The Anna Kling memorial
trophy is presented to the
ladies club champion both
gross and net. Names you
will recognize include: Linda
Doig, Cathy Elliott, and
Sharon Stephan. The ladies
match play event has been
won by Rita Core, Linda
Gridzak, Brenda Empey, Gail
Price, Cathy Elliott and in
1997 by Lindsay McEwan.
This trophy has not been
totally updated yet either but
we hope that it will be con-
tested for in 1998.
Soon the seniors will be
playing for the trophy and
we'll update you on that clos-
er to the event. You are wel-
come to come out and see the
trophies and plaques at any
time and also review the
photo albums chronicling the
events over the years.

Country Club news for this
