Junior golf encouraged here long before Tiger' came along
School's out for summer!
It's thc time of year that
many have been waiting tor.
Junior golfers in our area are
no exception. Many young
players will spend the majori-
ty of their summer vacation
within the borders of the
local golf course.
The junior golf wave that is
crashing through the golf
industry in North America
and beyond is the hottest
ticket in golf right now.
Everyone is riding on the
coat tails of the Tiger Woods
influence and tapping into
this "new found" market. Me
like to think that Seaforth
was just ahead of the times
since we have always wel-
comed and nurtured junior
golfers of all ages and skill
levels. We call it "B.T." or
"Before Tiger" and we do
tend to ruff up our feathers
when we speak of the young-
sters who have made the
local course their second
home during golf season.
Times have changed with-
out a doubt. Today many of
the kids seem to have more
disposable income and arc
interested in the brand namcs
associated with golf. They
wear logoed clothing and
carry the latest golf bags
filled with the latest clubs.
They buy their golf balls new
and in sleeves or even
dozens. Tournaments are
"cool" and as soon as they
reach driving age they want
to take a cart. Marketing
experts recognize this trend
and are right on• top of it.
Junior clubs that are designed
for various ages and sizes are
a hig seller this season, along
with coordinated hags.
Companies have come out
with complete junior lines of
equipment, clothing and
shoes. Some companies arc
sponsoring junior golf events
and even mini -tours, much
like the college players have
enjoyed for years.
Many junior golfers and
potential players can't get out
on a golf course in their
locality. The reasons are
complex.
Some golf courses do not
allow junior players at all.
The course, the clubhouse,
the entire facility is reserved
for adult players. They don't
want your son, daughter, or
grandchild out on the course
because of long standing
policies that have evolved
into a tradition that is hard to
buck.
Other courses get around
the policy problem by keep-
ing the rates so high that only
the ultra wealthy junior play -

Golf Notes •

er has a chance to play. The
well-off tweens and teens
don't need a summer job and
have the money and the con-
nections to play on the top
courses.
Busy courses often restrict
the play of juniors to specific
days of the week and times of
the day. This is probably the
most common and most
accepted approach to han-
dling the influx of junior
golfers descending on the
golf community. In most
instances the junior pays a
discounted membership fee
in exchange for restricted
playing privileges.
Within the confines of the
hig urban centers, the oppor-
tunity for young people to
play golf is extremely limit-
ed. The law of supply and
demand dictates the cost and
availability of tec-times.
Getting to the course poses a
problem for those too young
to drive or without public
transport. Sometimes thc
youngster is destined to do
his golfing at an area driving
range or even mini -putt
establishment.
The young golfers of
Seaforth enjoy a tremendous
situation. During the summer
months both members and
non-members can participate

each Tuesday at 9 a.m. sharp.
A chance to play on the
course appeals to all and each
week the nine hole event is
slightly different to allow
players of various skill levels
to enjoy the game and con-
tribute to their team. A lesson
on technique, safety, eti-
queue, or even the history of
the sport is included prior to
play with club instructor Cam
Doig in charge of the lessons..
The number of juniors has
increased and volunteer
instructors with good golfing
backgrounds help Cam with
the instruction. Each week is
sponsored by an area busi-
ness providing prizes or
incentives. Cam is also there
to assist confused parents try-
ing to decide just what their
child needs as opposed to
wants.
On Tuesday mornings you
must drive carefully out to
the local course because a lot
of the juniors arrive by bike,
many with their clubs over
their shoulders. The hike rack

to practise the lessons Teamed
on Tuesdays. Some will be
