Wingham Advance-Times, 1981-04-29, Page 13TO Dana I�llins, golf *the
greatest game in the world.
He has been convinced of it
eves* since, at the age of.16,
be swung a club for the first
lana and watched the 'ball
soar off into the wild, blue
yonder in, Perfeet flight. He
was hooked.
Now, 14 years later, Dana
is the new golf pro at the
Wingham Golf and Curling
Club, and he is hoping to
bring to this area some of the
enthusiasm he feels for the
game.
Part of his job as a pro is to
sell the game of golf, he
noted, and he plans to do this
through golfing clinics, talks
to local service clubs,
demonstrations at the public
and high schools and "a
fantastic junior program!"
Before taking his first
swing at a golf ball, with a
.club borrowed from his
uncle, he had played other
sports including hockey and
never got toointerested in
golf, Dana recalled.
However the experience of
hitting a perfect, 150 -yard
drive on his first attempt
convinced. him this game
was for him.
What would have hap-.
Pelted had he sliced or
topped that first shot? It's
hard to say, he admitted;
perhaps he would be in a
different line of work today.
His uncle encouraged him
to pursue the sport, and
Dana started caddying at the
golf club near his home in
Huntsville. The first club he
ever owned was one his
father carved from a young
maple tree, and he used to

it to the area around Hunts

said he is keen to move here

He is equally enthusiastic

favorite sport. In addition to
promoting the game, he
plans to emphasize the pro

picked up in his training as a
`pro. He also plans to offer
