Score cards give local golf rules
(Continued from page A6)
way home in the car. Two simple digits and
two days to explain them.
Now, just imagine if a scorecard left you
enough space to write a short paragraph on
how you arrived at the total on each hole?
The game is slow enough now and t can just
picture golfers all over the course writing
essays on their game. Why we'd have to put
desks at every tee with supplies of pencils
and erasers! 1 can see them now recording
wind speed and direction, grass thickness
and length, the club used and the technique.
Golfers would be writing smaller and smaller
inorder to explain the score in the allotted
space. Across the fairway you would hear
then yelling, "how do you spell scull?" I
wonder if spelling and neatness would
count.
Handicapping and declaring a winner
would be difficult especially if the story was
judged on artistic impression and originality.
We would have to hire a panel of judges to
mark the scorecards (international of course)
Alas that tiny square has just enough room
for a double digit figure.
Beside the spaces for•the score the golfer
comes up with are other spaces with
numbers already printed in them. These
numbers are really a pain in the neck
because everyone is trying to match these
with their own. It's not as easy as it sounds,
What you sees it not always what you gets)
At the bottom of the card is space for the
total scores. One for you and one for the
course. Here also is a space marked
"handicap" and here again you're supposed
to fill in the blank with no more than a two
digit number. If golfers had the space to
explain this number the scoreboard would
nmhahly he nn the hest seller list
Room for the date and the signature of
each player rounds out that side of the card.
Signing the scorecard is not all that
important in a fun game but there has been
an awful lot of money change hands on the
pro tour just because a scorecard was signed
before properly being checked for errors.
The most famous incident of this type
occurred when Roberto de Vicenzo was tied
for the lead in the Masters but he signed his
card with the score one shot higher than the
actual score. This score stood and Roberto
had to watch as the green jacket was
presented to another pro. If he had signed
for a score lower than he actually shot he
would have been disqualified outright.
Local rules are also printed on the cards to
assist golfers with each courses' special
features. For instance at one golf course in
Africa a local rule states that any ball coming
to rest in a hippopotamus footprint may be
lifted and placed no nearer the hole without
penalty.
Finally, every scorecard lists the basics of
golfing etiquette. Unfortunately some golf-
ers are too busy filling in the blanks to follow
the rules of good manners. We'll get to that
another time.
The next time you pick up a scorecard,
read it over and remember it's one of the
'
most important parts of the game. Reread-
ing it years later golfers can often recall the
entire round of golf just by the numbers on
the card. Thank heavens they're disposable.
Now that the clocks have changed we'll
begetting the mens and ladies nights going.
Ladies will meet after golf on Monday May
14. Everyone is invited to join us for the
2 -ball on Saturday, May 19 at 2.

first in races last weekend during the 11th
annual Sydenham River race sponsored by

far away as Toronto and Windsor competed.
Winners of the men's expert class were
Kick Kloss, Brucefield and Don Stoneman,
Toronto; in the mixed class were Dick Kloss
and his daughter, Dana, both of Brucefield;
in the intermediate class were Len Healy and
Rob MacLellan. both of Brucefield and in the
women's class were Barb Hawkins, of
Chatham and Rachel Bunn, of Brucefield.
"It's better than great." says Dick Kloss.
"1 told them I'm really proud of them."
The Kloss family is also helping to organize
the first annual canoe race for Huron County
foster parents on Mother's Day, Sunday,
May 13 at 1 p.m. A cruising class Including a
men's, mixed and family face will be held for
"anybody with a canoe in the backyard" and
an expert class which will include races for
senior men, senior mixed, Junior men, junior

Trophies have been built by a foster parent
in Blyth "There's a beautiful trophy for the
mother with the fastest time in the cruising
class," says Mr. Kloss. "We really want local
people to come out."
The 12 mile race starts south of Wingham
and ends at the Wawanosh Conservation
Area. All proceeds go to Huron County Foster

A few years ago Robert J. (Sandy) Doig of
Seaforth raced a good mare named Hvlyn
Mary.
When he parted with his horses. Hylyn
Mary went to Arnold Campbell of Seaforth.
who subsequently sold her at a Toronto sale,
while in foal to his Meadow Skipper stallion
Sera m.
The resulting foal was named Sc-rarndan
and Sunday night at Windsor Raceway he
won a S3,900 pace in 1.58 2
This makes at least four two minute
packers credited to Scram. including Chief
Scram 1 5' 4, Royas Lady, 1 59 2, and the
S11'.223 winner C P Dirren 1 59 4
Thanks to Arnold Campbell for taking a
few moments out of his busy schedule to let
me know about Scramdan, although he says
he only has 35 horses now instead of his
usual 75.
Calls are welcome anytime at 482.3683 If
you wish to bring me up to date on anything
about horses.
