On the greens
Seaforth boy goes p
By Carolanne Doig
Anyone remotely in-
terested in golf knows of
Jack Nicklaus. Reams of
material have been written
about him and every
superlative adjective has
been used in .describing the
"Golden Bear". Jack
Nicklaus? Ask any
housewife, motor mechanic,
or doctor and chances are
they'd tell you he's a golfer
... and they'd be right.
Nicklaus is probably the
greatest golfer that ever liv-
ed. His record of victories
especially major golf cham-
pionships' is amazing. He has
become a household . name
and familiar face as he en-
dorses many well-known
products. He is involved in
all aspects of the golf in-
dustry including golf course
design and construction,
equipment manufacture,
golf apparel, and even spon-
soring and hosting a promi-
nent tour event at his home
course, Muirfield, in Dublin
Ohio.
Nicklaus is 41 years old.
He turned pro in 1961 and
joined the tour in 1962. About
this time hundreds of miles
away in Seaforth, a little
blonde boy was just toddling
around with not a golf
thought in his head.
However, the wheels of golf
were turning in Seaforth as
Ken and Rod Doig began
converting the family farm
into a nine -hole golf course.
The years went by and Jack
Nicklaus proved in no time
that he belonged with the
best in golf. The little blond
boy known as Steven, grew
old enough to swing a club
just as his local course began
to blossom into a challenging
little track. As the number of
Nicklaus' victories went up,
Steve's handicap went down
and he became a permanent
fixture at our local course, a
competitor in many junior
tournaments, and helper in
the proshop.
Steve became known as
Wiener, a name that has
stayed with him up to the
present time.W iener follow-
ed Nicklaus as any young
golfer would and over the
years came to idolize the
Golden Bear. Nicklaus con-
tinued to play and win on the
tour and when Wiener was
old enough, he too turned pro
and went to work 'in a pro
shop near Sarnia, still
dreaming of and idolizing
the Golden Bear.
The story could end here
but it's only beginning. On
Sept. 9 the Golden Bear and
Wiener will meet. They
won't just shake hands and
Wiener won't ogle as Jack
signs his autograph. They
are playing an 18 hole match
Many area ball teams met in Vanastra on Saturday for
two year-end tournaments, one for the girls and one for
the boys. The tourney was held in conjunction with the
community's annual country fair. (Shelley McPhee

and for Wiener it's his dream
come true.
I called Wiener and asked
him about the big day and I
thought the local golfers
may be interested in hearing
about it too.
Steve "Wiener" Bennett,
the 23 year old son of Bill and
Betty Bennett of Seaforth,
was one of the original
Seaforth Golf Course
anklebiters and he learned
his golf locally with lots of
friendly competition. In 1978
he ,turned pro and went to
rk at the Canterbury
work
Club in Bright's
Grove as assistant to head
pro Neil Armstrong, a
former N.H.L. linesman.
That winter Wiener tried the
Florida mini tour, but
although many people were
pleased with his perfor-
mance, he wasn't satisfied
and returned to the pro shop.
Last winter, the Polysar
Corporation the largest
employer in Sarnia, pur-
chased Canterbury Country
Club, renamed it Huron
Oaks and appointed Wiener
as head pro. His duties now
include golf lessons, organiz-
ing events and purchasing
and selling golf equipment.
He's employed all year
round and says he's enjoying
it immensely.
World Golf Advertising ap-
proached Huron Oaks about
having Jack Nicklaus come
for a day as a part of their
promotional campaign. It
was the offer of a lifetime
and you can imagine
Wiener's reaction when he
learned he'd play 18 holes
with his life-long idol.
The date is Wednesday
Sept. 9 and Jack will arrive
in the morning to give a
clinic to the various
businessmen and sponsors at
Huron Oaks. After lunch,
Jack and Wiener will play 18
holes along with well-known
Detroit disc jockey J.P. Mc-
Carthy. The public may pur-
chase tickets to watch the
match and will also have a
chance to play. On the front
nine, two names will be
drawn to make it a fivesome
and different people will be
chosen to play on the back
nine. The tickets are $20
each and can be purchased
from Wiener's family by
phoning 527-0913. In order to
get in on the draw to play
with Jack, you must have
tickets by Sept. 2 because
that is when the draw will be
made.
The match will be a
casual, friendly affair and
most Nicklaus fans will ap-
preciate the opportunity of
seeing Jack away from the
