Woodlands Links Golf Course hosted 90 golfers in "the hottest junior golf tour in Canada," on Aug. 17 - a first for any course in Huron County. Todd Delmage, the Canadian Professional Golfers' Association (CPGA) pro at Woodlands, said he pushed to bring the tour to Clinton so that local youth would have a chance to participate. "I really wanted to get something around here for the kids to play in. They always end up driving to London or Sarnia," he explained. "If they see what it's about closer to home, maybe they'll want to play a little more." Seaforth brothers Curtis and David Bennett dominated the juvenile boys division (ages 14-16) in the local tournament, tying for first place with a score of 72. Junior (age 17-18) Brad Henderson (Seaforth) shot a 77 to tie for 7th, while Justin Vere (Clinton) placed 13th in juvenile with a score of 83. Juvenile Brock Spencer and bantam Austin Spencer, both of Clinton, scored 79 and 94, respectively. Brock tied for ninth and Austin placed 12th. Delmage said he was very impressed with the tournament's success and praised the young golfers for their skill and etiquette. He also noted the local event featured seven female golfers, with the division winner shooting an impressive score of 79. "A lot of tour participants go on to be CPGA pros at courses, course superintendents and have pretty good amateur careers,"said Delmage, who played on the tour 1982-1986. Points are tallied from each golfer's top six events to determine the overall winner in each division at the end of the season. Fifty points are awarded for a first place finish. Every golfer receives at least 33 points for participating in an event. Registration for the tour is free, but a portion of the $38 fee for each event is used to create a scholarship for division winners. Founded by London Free Press reporter Bev Tyrell almost 40 years ago, the Tyson tour boasts its highest membership ever in 2005 at 475. "It started in 1968 with just four events and now it has 16 events with 475 kids as members. It was one of the first organized tours of its kind around," Delmage explained. "Tournaments are held all over southwestern Ontario, averaging at least 100 kids per tournament. Some are even filled to capacity at 144 right away." After a successful inaugural year, Delmage said he is hoping that Woodlands will become an annual stop on the Tyson tour. Anyone interested in being part of next year's tour can register online at www.juniortysontour.com. Golfers must be betwegn 10- 18 years of age as of Aug. 31, 2006. "It's a great development tour for kids that are looking to get better at golf and looking towards a career in the sport," Delmage added. THE HURON EXPOSITOR.
