Golfing with dad in tourney was great
ON THE
GREENS
BY CAROLANNE DOUG
Last week the North American Life Parent
and Child Championships were held at the St.
Catherines Golf and Country •Club. This
..Jurnament has been held annually in
Ontario for 33 years and has since become
popular in other provinces. Each year it
moves to a different course. What an event it
is! It's a true indication that golf is indeed a
family affair.
The two day format is set up so that parents
and children may enjoy two 18 hole games of
golf. The first day, fathers and sons team up
as well as mothers and daughters. The next
day Dads play with daughters while Moms
play with sons.
The combinations were something to see as
ages and skills varied greatly. Sometimes the
parent had the low handicap, sometimes the
child and sometimes both were of equal skill.
The tournament is an alternate shot event
meaning that only one ball is played with each
taking turns hitting. This format makes for
some interesting shot making as won' as
unusual sound effects, as there's an abvful lot
of apologizing going on during these rounds!
Many golfing families travelled from all over
Ontario to participate and with the tourna-
ment set up the way it was, it gave everyone
two good days of golf.
ThiS tournament has become a major event
on our summer calendar. I've managed to
drag Dad to the tournament the last .two
nears, and next year Mom wants to play.
jetting to the event has not been without its
trials and tribulations. Last year we had such
an early tee time in Toronto that we decided
to leave the day before and Stay with friends
who lived near the course. 'Unfortunately
about a half hour before our tee time we
realized that the course we were near was not
the right course. After leaving a day early, we
still just made it.
This year was no less exciting. Onoe Dad
and 1 were entered, brother Cam decided he
would like to play with Dad in the Father and
Son division. Well tw9 days before the
tournament Cam broke his hand, Todd has 14
stitches in his foot after dropping a mirror on
it (who would want to golf with a son with
seven years bad luck anyway), and tan had
turned pro. KenJr. was now entered as Dad's
partner,
We decided to leave early Sunday
afternoon to get a practise round in: If anyone
wondered what we were dobg on Sunday
afternoon in front of Dad's place, we were
trying to get the keys out of the trunk of Ken
Jr,'s car so we could get it out of the way, to
get Dad's car out of his driveway and on its
way to St. Catherines. What fun!
We. accidentally arrived at the St. Cather-
ines Golf and Country Club when we pulled
into the parking lot while asking for directions

to find it.. It was about 6 p.m. and the pro was
very accommodating. lie thought we'd be
able to at least get the front nine in. He didn't
know us. In two hours and 20 minutes just as
it was getting dark, we completed 18 holes.
We saw the course, but for me it was a
blurr. Since I was hitting from the ladies'
tees, 1 was last to hit off the tee, but niy
shorter drives meant 1 was first to hit on- he
fairways. It was hard to get my breath log
enough to putt when 1 did reach the green. Of
course the pro couldn't believe a threesome
could play 18 holes in that time, but we
burned•it.up out there.
Bright and early Monday morning Dad and
Kenny teed it up with a father and son team
from St: Cathermes and another team from
Brampton. I followed them around to
familiarize myself more with the course and
to cheer them on. Ken Jr. and Dad managed
to finish in the top 15 and the teach from
Brampton, the Swartz's eventually lost in •a
playoff, (son Bill Swartz went on to win the
Canadian Amateur Championship at Sun-
ningdale thjt same week.)
On Tuesday morning it was my turn to
team up with the balding veteran, and believe
me I was nervous. I was even more nervous
when 1 realized 1 had to hit off the tee first.
Fortunately, Ken Jr. caddied for us and he
was a steadying influence. What a great
caddy he is!
Once we were out on the course we had a
great time. We hit some pretty shots, we hit
some ugly shots, and we even it some pretty
ugly shots, but we had fun! 0 e -hole I put
Dad right in the worst bunker on;flte courses
"Gee, Dad, I'm sorry." "That's.O.K. C.A., I
put you in the trees back there," One thing
about taking turns hitting one ball, you end
up in places you never would be if you played
alone.
We had a good shot at winning but lost it on
the last three holes. The test part otter than
1' t
playing 18 holes h tile Ontario Senior
Champion, was meeting and making new
golfing friends, playing a new course and
having Dad say, 'Sure kid, I'll play with you
again next, year."
Scores in the second round of the club
championship are Ken Doig Sr. 76, Todd
Doig. 90, Greg Core, 78, Jim Watson Sr. 76,
Doug Elliott, 87, and Ray Anstett Jr. 80. The
next round is to be played on Sunday, Sept. 9.
The club mixed 2 -ball has been changed to
Saturday. Oct. 6 or Thanksgiving weekend.
This is a fun nine hole event for members and
guests and we will have a turkey shoot with
prizes of turkeys- and chickens, ideal for
Thanksgiving.

SOCCER PLAYOFFS—The Gray team won
the Seaforth soccer ,houseleague 6-1 against
the Red team on Friday night. (Hundertmark

Adults learn to relax in water
One of the biggest hangups about learning
to swim is getting your face wet. For children
who are right into the swing of learning new
things every day it is a relatively simple
matter. But for an adult to be starting out with
a healthy respect for the dangers of water,
learning to swim may be more complicated.
This summer the Seaforth recreation
department featured swim classes for adults
and 12 are taking the half hour classes three
evenings a week for three weeks.
The main aim of the program is to help the
new swimmers feel comfortable in the water
says instructor Dave Rimmer. Most of the
adults will be able to swim at the end of the
program; how well depends on how comfort•
able they are in the water.
Marg Hulley, was one of the first to express
an interest in adult swimming classes and
helped get a group together. Mrs. Hulley
took swimming lessons about 10 years ago
but still had trouble with a panicky feeling
when she was in water over her head.
The lessons allow members to work at their
own level without any aggressive teaching
techniques forcing them under the water.
Mrs. Hulley's main concern in tak'ng
swimming lessons for herself stems fro e
fact her two children are taking lessons nd
they were swimming and needed help Mrs.
Hulley said she would be unable to help
them.
"i'd be helpless at the beach if they ever
swam out too far and got into trouble, ' said
Mrs. Hulley.
The Hulley boys are four and six years old
and have been taking lessons since'last fall in
Vanastra. Both youngsters are more relaxed
in the water after having taken lessons.
Betty Jean Finnigan is another participant
in the adult swim classes and while she is
much more comfortable in the water she said
slhe still has difficulties with getting her face
into the water.
Mrs. Finnigan has a seven-year-old taking
swimming lessons and wanted to learn to
swim and take part in the family's water
activities.
The class has learned the front float, back
float, side stroke, treading water and a few
other basic strokes.
While both ladies were keen on taking the
lessons again Mrs. Finnigan pointed out that
at 'this time of the year the nights are getting
quite cool and it makes for a fast chilling
lesson.
Anyone interesteld--in taking adult swim•
ming lessons should contact the recreation
director.
