Your golfer may take
some time and thought
To give y, pu some ideas of
the variety' will mention
a few books and give you.
some ideas about what to.
expect from them.
One of my favourites,'
and a book that golfers,.
young and old, can enjoy
is the Encyclopedia of
Golf, ed. Donald Steel and
Peter Rryde, This is no
pocket book but itis great
for .lust picking 'up and
leafing through. Filled
with many photos and.
illustrations, the book
covers the history of golf,
golf courses, around the
world, and golfing per-
son-alities:. The—authora
have given the book a
1. definite British influence,
and the only , setback is
that like any other en-
cyclopedia, the records
are soon broken, and
therefore out of date. For
information as well as
enjoyment, the book is
super.
For young golfers,
Gary Player has an
excellent book of in-
structibn and drills in
which Gary and his son
compare techniques. This
would be an ideal book for
-a keen young golfer.
Entitled "Gary Player's
Golf Book . for Young
People", it sells for about
$8.95. At the other end of
the spectrum is Sam
Sneads book "Golf Begins
at Forty". In this book
Sam tells how to
maximize age and ex-
perience. —to—help -lower---
your golf score, for only
$9.95.
Nancy Lopez and Jane
Blalock, two of the best
known L.P.G.A. players,
each have books on the
'market. "The. Education
,of a Woman Golfer", by
Nancy Lopez is her own
story about her sudden
rise to prominence on the
tour and the con -
se quenc es .
on -sequences. Jane
Blalock's book "The Guts
to Win" tells about this
controversial players _
views about, winning on
the pro tour.
On the lighter side Golf
Digest offers a book for
only $9.99 called "Great
Golf,Humour". Inside are
30 humorous short stories
and 76 cartoons about our
favourite game. Less
expensive, at only $5.95 is
Ted Barnett's book, "Golf
is Madness", containing
10 stories pakin.g fun .at
golf.
Most of us golfers are
...always looking for help_
with our game. The
magic cure to our hook or
slice must be among the
pages of one of the golfing
books. There are'literally
hundreds of books of-
fering help to golfers of
every calibre. "Tempo"
by Al Qeilberger is a new
publication. If the ex-
cerpt from it that was in
Golf Digest is any in-
dication the book will be
excellent. It sells for
$12.95. Another is the new
bestseller by Bob Toski
and Jinn Flick "How to
Become a , onx.plete
Golfer," This" 1S a very.
comprehensive in-
struction book in hard-
cover form and contains
over 300 photographs and
many colour drawings, It.

Getting away Parona,
books, a gift that isdi-
ferent would be a set of
prints from. Loyal H.
Cthapman's collection, of
Infamous . Golf Holes.
These prints come in two
sizes suitable for
framing, either 9" x 12"
or 18" x 24". The, smaller

prints are $19.95each or

tings show fantasy golf
holes in settings such. as
Victoria Falls, The Grand
Canyon, and Mount Fuji.
Many golfers are aware
of these paintings but are
unaware that copies can
be purchased. What a
great gift for any golfer.
Personalized golf balls,
putters, gloves and more
are ideal for any golfer
and these gifts are
available through many
proshops and other golf
specialty shops. They do
take time though and
should be ordered well in
advance.
Fun stocking stuffing
items are mink tees, for
the golfer who has
everything, the foot
wedge, and weighted
balls. There are many
funny golfing items. A
putting pal that comes
with several feet. of
putting surface .and an
automatic ball returning
cup will certainly im-
prove your putting skills
over the winter. It sells
for about $20. Remember
too, that golf styles have
remained basically the
same for years and
wearing apparel. never
goes amiss. The'fail is the
perfect time to pick up
bargains for golf gifts.
On Friday night, the
final men's night bash
was held with super
weather for the fellows.
After nine holes of golf,
they enjoyed one of
Valma's delicious meals
in the clubhouse. Winners
of the draw were Joe Dick
and Krispy Kruse. Joe
shot a three under 33. The
longest drive competition
was -won' by Cam Doig,
while Bill Robertson won
closest to the pin. Larry
"Mouse" Dol mage won a
trophy for contributing
the most to the men's,
night kitty. Jim Watson
nmde the presentations.
Doug Pinder is the
men's match play
champion for the second
year in a row. Once
again, he will have his
name on the Don Eaton -
Brad Smith Trophy.
Well, this is it until the
spring. I hope you enjoy
my efforts this summer
and I hope to be back in a
few months with more
news from golf here and

Keep the cheer. cheerful
When friends drop by

moderation is the best
policy in serving drinks.
Here are some
suggestions from
marketing specialists at
the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food.
Chot,se from several
Ontario juices - apple,
grape, tomato and
vegetable juices. All are
best served chilled.
Fora festive touch, try
the following: Half grape
juice, half soda water,
topped with a scoop of
vanilla ice cream. Mix
apple juice with ginger
ale, add a few drops of
bitters and top• with a
maraschino cherry. For
tomato or vegetable
juice, add__ some hor-
seradish, lemon juice,
Worcestershire sauce,
celery salt and pepper.
Serve with cu turn berg
slice and you have a
tomato cocktail.
For a hot drink for four,
heat together a 19 -ounce
can of tomato juice and a
10 -ounce can .of con-
somme. Season to taste
with Worcestershire
sauce and Tabasco sauce.
Serve in mugs.
There is also a wide
selection of Ontario
wines, ports and sherries
to suit every taste.
And, of course, don't
f o r_g_e.t such f esti ve
favorites as eggnog, hot
mulled juices or a wine
punch, all so tempting at
this time of the year.
