On the Seaforth greens
by Carolanne Doig
Some of the most popular
golfing stories concern
golfers meeting St. Peter at
the Pearlie Gates and being
admitted to a golfer's
heaven. If there is a golfer's
heaven, no one can say for
sure, but a golfer's heaven
on earth is only 600
kilometres from here. There
are no Pearlie Gates, just
two stone pillars marking.
the entrance to Muirfield
Village Golf Club. St. Peter
is not there to greet you, but
Jack Nicklaus is. He may not
greet you personally, but his
presence is felt everywhere.
Muirfield Village Golf Club
is located in Dublin, Ohio
just outside the major city of
Columbus. A little over six
hours of freeway driving will,
take you to this "paradise,
designed and built by
Nicklaus, and home of the
Memorial Tournament. Last
week I had the pleasure of
spending three gorgeous
days observing and ab-
sorbing golf there. The
weather, tfie o'enery, the
intense competition, and the
multitude of golfing fans,
resulted in a supercharged
atmosphere difficult to
express.
On Tuesday, the Pro Am
was underway when I
arrived, with such well -
Bicycle Motorcross
at Hully Gully
Bicycle Motocross (BMX),
a new sport that has taken
off with such success south
of the border, will be expos-
ed to sports fans in Western
Ontario this weekend at Hul-
ly Gully, near Varna.
Hully Gully Raceway, the
promoter of amateur
motocross to its current
level in this area, has decid-
ed to offer a BMX Program
to young cyclists in Western
Ontario.
The size and the extent of
this program will depend on
the amount of interest
generated by this weekend's
exhibition. The BMX exhibi-
tion will take place during in-
termission of the Motocross
races on Sunday.
Anyone interested in BMX
should contact Randy. Collins

known amateurs as former
U.S. President, Gerald Ford
and entertainers Glen
Campbell and Bob Hope. The
Pro Am is fun to watch and
fantastic scores result even
though some of the golf is not
exactly aesthetically
pleasing. Each pro who
participates. has four
amateurswith. hirci to make
up a five -man team. Each
player plays a ball, but only
the best score on each hole is
counted. Since handicaps are
used for the amateurs, this
best ball tournament can
give winners with scores
well under pa r. Pro Ams are
an essential part of major
tournaments, since they
provide an opportunity for
the tournament sponsors to
become acquainted with
their professional heroes in a
playing situation.
Wednesday was a practice
day and for many golf fans,
this is the best time to see the
pros. The crowds are
smaller and you can see the
players up close. Not only
that, the players are much
more relaxed and are more
likely to sign autographs and
answer questions. This is a
day when you can see some
excellent golf because the
players are experimenting
with different clubs `from
different positions. After
following players for several
holes, it's nice to visit the
putting greens and practice
areas. Muirfield has a well-
designed practice area and
the players take full ad-
vantage of the facilities. I
watched Nicklaus practise
hitting bunker shots, chips
and putts and listened while
he commented on, each shot
for the small crowd nearby.
Later, a clinic was held and
there was a fine exhibition of
golf shots put on by Gary
Player, Jerry Pate, Fuzzy
Zeller and others.
When the clinic was
finished I visited the
Memorial Gardens where
greats from Golf's history
are honored. This peaceful
area tells the stories of the
golfing greats who have been
honored at past Memorial
Tournaments. This year's
honoree was Harry Vardon
and I read his story from the
shiny new brass plaques,
mounted in the garden.
Thanks to one of my caddy
friends, I was able to get a
pass from Tom Purtzer and
the pass admitted me not
only to the grounds but to the
Clubhouse where I did some
exploring and comparison
shopping. Here Nicklaus'
trophies are on display and
everywhere you feel his
presence from pictures on
the wall to his books on sale
in the pro shop.
For the tournament's first
round on Thursday I decided
to walk a few holes following
Canada's Dan Halldorson
who did very well at the
Memorial. Then I positioned
myself at the par 3, 12th hole
just in time to see Mike
