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 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 Turn to page 7 • er 80 race at Hully Gully House League Motocross action returned to Hully Gul- ly last Saturday afternoon with over 80 young and old riders competing.
