It on �a. pretty frustrating to bounce out of bed early.,Saturday morning to hit your favorite stream only to find that your line keeps breaking, or that box of hooks you were sure had beenleftin the tackle box has mysteriously disappeared. New line every year Is something i that every fisherman should purchase wheth"they feel they need it or not. The real pros) bass fishermen in particular, are very fussy about the condition of their line. They ritually change their whole spool after every tour- nament; and during the competition they clip six or eight feet off the end after every catch. Losing one fish can make the difference between their winning and losing a tournament, so they don't take any chances whatsoever. Monofilament fishing line comes in a whole assor- tment of grades and styles so it's up to you to find out which one suits you best. The more expensive lines are more closely controlled during manufacture and are uniform in diameter throughout their whole length. Theyaie mn,re dependable aryl stronger than the other btill j ooT t,,but rh some-oa'ses;:the-bulls iinemight be the better choice. The better grade lines also come in different con- figurations to suit your own particular fishing situation. The limper lines cast the best, and can provide more accuracy when needed. They are softer, however, and can be chewed up on a rough abrasive bottom. When you choose one of the harder lines, they are also stiffer and more difficult to cast. Some are flourescent so you can see them better while others are designed to be totally (or as much so as possible) in- visible to the fish and generally to the fisherman as well., You would do well to sit down some evening with some lltt t'oture from the major line manufacturers, analyzeyour own particular style of fishing, and pick a line that will meet your needs. When you find one that works for you, ,stick with it.. you'll be surprised at the better performance you get. +++ I've heard a.couple of reports that the smelt have started to run, but the next warm rain should bring them,m like crazy: Don't forget, there are restrictions as. to the. het size you can use, and a seine net does require, a license.

' Motocross action on HooseLeague Motocross returns to action this Satur- day, April 25 at Hully Gully for its third race season. This year will be kicked off with a House League Motocross School, which will get everyone warmed up for another exciting year. Satur- day's event will feature lessons in: bike preparation and maintenance, basic riding techniques, physical conditioning and training, with instructions from ex- pert riders who have graduated from the Hully Gully minor system. Bike - and equipment would be beneficial; however, because this school is for motocross beginners it is not necessary. Registration will take place from 8:30-9 a.m. and the school begins at 9:30. The school keeps in step with the aims of House League Motocross, which are: to provide safe, well organized MX competition; to provide competition for various levels of rider age and ability; and type of bike; to provide MX involvement without a large financial outlay, ie: basic equipment and licencing etc.; to pro- mote the sport of Motocross on a local level; to have fun! Anyone who owns a dirt bike cannot afford to miss this school. The cost is only $10 per student and parental consent is mandatory. For more information please contact Randy Collins at 262-3318. Welcome home Doug BRUSSELS - Doug McArter was seriously injured ealier this year iti a i ►idgeet jockey- match. Although still confined to a wheel chair, Doug came home last week and was greeted to a cheering, full house of fans at a hockey game between the Wingham Ironmen and the Brussels Bulls. The game was held in benefit of the young man and helped raise more than $1,600 to help Doug and his family with medical ex- penses.

By Carolanne Doig I can't believe that I waited all winter to get out on the golf course for a couple of hours of agony. What a game golf is! I was so keen, and despite the fact that Mother Nature is sticking with Del Monte and is definitely not on our side, I took my own advice, bundled up; and headed for the first tee. After a few holes of slicing and (I hate to say it) shanks, I realized I could get the same amount of ag-gravation, frustration, and exasperation in the - warm comfort of home while • watching Hockey Night in Canada ... with much' less effort too! Normally 'I would' be ranting and raving over such ' a game, afterwards leading to depression. Not this time, it's only the first round. Just try to connect and hit nice straight shots. It will come. This year I'm going to •relax and enjoy . the game ... scream! Then I started thinking of the humorous side of a game designed to make grown men cry. Believe me, there are many hilarious stories connected with the game of Figure skat The annual meeting of the Clinton Figure Skating Club was held on Wednesday, April 8, but there was a very disappointing attendance as there were 125 skaters registered in the club in 1980- 81 and only 13 skaters were represented at the meeting.

Relating them is one of the great pleasures of the game. I guess there's something therapeutic about telling and hearing stories about the plight of our fellow golfers. Before one can truly appreciate the reams of humorous material on golf, one should understand what the game is' about. An unknown author tells us his idea of the game in the folio vying passage. After reading this you will un- derstand better the stories you will hear about golf and golfers - and better yet you'll believe them. The game of golf "Golf is a form of work made expensive enough for a rich man to enjoy. It is physical and mental exertion made attractive by the fact that you have to dress for it in a $200,000 club house. "Golf is what letter - carrying,. ditch -digging and carpet -beating would be if those three tasks had to be performed on the same hot afternoon in short pants and colored socks by gouty - looking old gentlemen who required a different im- ers meet na Harris and Pat Norman. At a skating competition in North Bay on April 17,18 and 19, Marg Dupee finished seventh in her flight and Brenda Dupee finished se- cond and received a silver medal. The club is also pleased to announce Miss Jodi Merner has been selected as a member of the club for nomination to the C.F.S.A. presidents' honour list. plement for every mood. "Golf is the simplest looking game in the world when you decide to take it up and the toughest looking after you have been at it 10 or 12 years. "It is probably the only game known a man can play as long as a quarter of a century and . then discover that it was too deep for him in the first place. "The game is played on carefully selected grass with little white balls and as many clubs as the payer can afford. These balls cost from 75 cents to $2.50 and it is possible to support a family of 10 people (all adults) for five months on the money represented by the balls lost, by some golfers in a single afternoon.

A "green" is a small parcel of grass costing about $1.98 a blade and usually located between a brook, a couple of apple trees and a lot of un-, finished excavation. "The idea is to get the golf ball from a given point into each of the 18 holes in the fewest strokes and the greatest number of words. "The ball must not be thrown, pushed, or carried. It must be propelled entirely by about $200 worth of curious looking implements especially designed to provoke the owner. "Each implement has a specific purpose and ultimately some golfers get to know what the purpose is. They are the exceptions.

Then he sub- tracts six and says, "made that in five. That's one above par. Shall we play for 50 cents on the next hole, too Ed?" "After the final, or 18th hole, the golfer adds up his score and stops when he has reached 87. He then has a shower, a couple of beers with six or eight other liars, and calls it the end of a perfect day." +++ Locally Charlie Malcolm, -a 16 -year-old junior member at Seaforth Golf and Country Club scored his first hole in one last week. Charlie scored the hole in one on the 116 yard par three, fifth hole at his home club. Congratulations Charlie! What a way to start the season. Canadian golfers have their own golf magazine available now through their club or on newsstands. The magazine called "Score" is published in Toronto and is produced. in cooperation with the R.C.G. The first issue is out and is full of articles by such golfing personalities as Sandra • Post, Ben Kern, Jim Nelford, and Dan Halldor- sen. Throughout, the sum- mer, the magazine will provide Canadian golfers with information on all aspects of golf. It's great that Canadian golfers now have a magazine that they can truly relate to. All Ontario golfers who are members of the O.G.A. will receive this excellent magazine through their club. Ladies don't forget the meeting on Monday the 27th at 7 p.m. in the clubhouse.
