The Clinton Recreation Committee will be staging the Seniors are among golf's best supporters By Carolanne Doig Among those enjoying the sport of golf this summer are many senior citizens. Some of these seniors have enjoyed the sport since they themselves were youngsters while others did not discover golf until retirement • left them with plenty of time on their hands. Senior citizens, both men and women, are golfing away the summer. A few hours on the golf course each day with your spouse is a great way to spend time together in a healthy envitonment when retirement years arrive. Seniors benefit in many ways by par- ticipating in the game of golf. Physically golf is less demanding than many other sports and thus can be pursued long after more gruelling games must be abandoned. Even seniors with some physical problems can modify their swing, play at their own pace, and continue to enjoy golf. Walking is especially good for seniors, increasing the circulation, burning up calories, and im- proving the cardio -vascular system. Seniors who have leg and foot problems but love the sport too much to be sidelined can employ power Carts and still enjoy the sunshine, fresh air, and social benefits of golf. There are new battery operated pull carts on the market for the golfers who enjoy walking but not pulling the carts and clubs. Seniors who golf on very hilly courses will find these new "toys" a boon. Along with the gentle exercise. that golf provides, the atmosphere on a golf course is relaxing. Just being outside enjoying. good weather and lovely scenery gives you a sense of well being. For seniors who over the years of work have become early risersand have difficulty filling the long day, nine holes of golf with a friend or alone, is a healthy way to while away a few hours. Whether you're 'serious or not, golf takes your mind off many of the niggling little things that might hinder your enjoyment while relaxing on the , verandah. Golf somehow manages to get you away from it all. Golf for seniors has become a very impor- tant portion of the golf industry. This trend will no doubt continue as the baby boomers age and more people take early retirements. Already the senior P.G.A. tour, in operation for the last few -years is attrac- ting many golf fans who want to see the oldies but goodies. They can still perform. Many golf courses offer special golf dis- counts for seniors, and equipment manufac- turers have introduced a variety of clubs that aid older golfers. Many amateur tour- naments are held for seniors only, and these tournaments have been increasing in number each year. On June 5 the Seaforth and District Senior Games Golf Tournament will be held at our local course. This is a part of the com- munity's senior garries program organized through the recreation office. Men and. women may sign up at the Seaforth pro shop or the Seaforth rec office. There are several age groups with 50 being the youngest. Win- ners will advance to the regional senior games in St. Mary's. All senior golfers are invited to participate. On May 6, the ladies opening was a great success in spite of the rain. Twenty-five ladies enjoyed a delicious potluck supper and Cathy Elliott was presented an award, for the greatest handicap reduction in the Owen Sound District Ladies Golf Associa- tion. Cathy reduced her handicap from 38 to 24. On May 7, 15 golfers turned out for the first men's night.

( Anne Narejko photo) Water, the most irnportant substance that we consume We wash with it, boil potatoes in it, and carry umbrellas to avoid it. It covers nearly three-quarters of the earth's surface and it makes up about two-thirds of our body weight. It's the single most important substance we consume, yet not getting enough of it is a common nutritional mistake. Water is an important nutrient, yet we seldom think of it as such. However, a lack of it is much more dangerous than the lack of food..Pedple can go on prolonged fasts without serious harm, but several days without water causes death. In the body, water narfnrrrrc many rritiral functions. It works as a solvent, carrying nutrients, hormones antibodies and wastes into, throughout and out of the body. All of the body's cells live in a watery bath. Water also functions as a lubricant for the joints and mucous membranes. From the active person's point of view, water in the form of sweat acts as a coolant in hot weatheri or during exercise. Because this water isllost as sweat, it upsets the body's proper fluid balance if it is not replaced, It's especially important for active people to make a conscious effort to get enough water.
