Our sales department is open 'til 5 p.m. • • • At the Seaforth tee A Golf Course is not a Golf Club. It is an old expression and a very accurate one. For many years now the golf course in Seaforth has been in operation, but it wasn't until Monday night June 4, that a Seaforth Golf and Country Club was formed. Although the meeting turnout was not as large as expected, an executive was chosen to get our first year off to a good start. Now we have a "club" that can organize many events and increase our members' enjoyment in the sport of golf. Many interesting ideas have been brought up and I'm sure if all the members help out by contributing their time and ideas, the new executive will have no problem making the 1979 season a success. The club president for this year is Lloyd Eisler of Seaforth, owner of Seaforth Reddie Chef. Mr. Eisler commented that he would be happy to help us get,our club started and our first year off the ground. Don Morton, a Seaforth high school teacher is vice- president for 1979 and he will become president in 1980. The club treasurer is Bill Walsh of Seaforth. A keen golfer and defending champion of our Annual Men's Invitation, Bill is an accountant at Bendix. Carolanne Doig., is the 1979 secretary and I for one am sure that she is going to have a very busy summer. In addition to the above mentioned positions, four directors were elected to assist in organizing club events and represent the different areas of golfing interest. Don- Armstrong a --Clinton police - officer and Bill Weber of Egmondville, a Clinton high school teacher will be 1979 directors. Representing the ladies is Mrs. Bernice Longstaff of Seaforth, and the juniors are represented by Claude Daw, a Clinton high school student. Of course all the club members are encouraged to give their support. Everyone is busy during the summer but if we all pull together we will be off to a flying start! So after over 15 years let's congratulate ourselves, we're a club now! This Thursday night Is Men's Night and we hope to have enough fellows out to have a fun com- petition organized. On Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. a small mixed tournament is scheduled, as the Clinton Legion Associates visit us again. It would be wise to come out early and avoid the rush later on. On June 4, three of our area golfers travelled to New Dundee for the qualifying round for the 1979 Ontario Amateur Championship. Ken Doig Sr. was the low qualifier of the day with a 73 and he will qualify to play in the Amateur being played at the Summit Club beginning July 17. Cam Doig and Ian Doig both shot 80 and failed to qualify. June 9-17 is Ontario Junior Golf Week, organized to promote junior golf development in our province. • Remember that today's youth are tomorrow's golfers. At Seaforth there, are over 50 Junior members and most of them are super keen golfers. Many of them are out every day and eat, sleep, and dream golf. Oneyoungster said that last week -he dreamed -he.. had driven the mower in the Grande Prix! The same boy wrote the following poem: FORE The day was sunny as could be, I set my ball upon my tee. I swung the club with all my might, the darn thing hooked to the right, I hit my three but hit the tree, I hit four and yelled "fore" I hit my wedge and went into the hedge, I hit my two and bounced into a shoe. I made a putt with my putter, the darn thing slipped by like butter. I swung my club with all my might, the darn thing didn't come down until night.—by Charlie Malcolm. Some of our juniors are excellent golfers and some are just beginners, but in both cases the enthusiasm is high. This year is the first time for a junior match play event and the response has been excellent. We hope to get some equally, healthy response during our Junior Golf Week. Any money raised during the week is divided in half, with one half being retained by the club and the other half sent to the Provincial Junior Development Programs. This year men and ladies in par- ticipating clubs will be able to play during Junior Golf Week for the low net, the winners participating in an Ontario Junior Golf Week Championship at well known golf courses. The entry fee is $1.00 per round or $5.00 for a Big Brother 'Ticket and you can play as many rounds as possible during the week. -Come out -and give, our Junior Golfers your support. women have soccer team Yes Clinton, it's true!
