(Wasslnk photo) ON THE GREENS III CAROLANNE DWG If a martian landed in the middle of a golf course on a Sunday afternoon I wonder if he would'ever bother to come back to earth, or, just 'write us off as some primitive club -wielding society with psychptic tenden- cies, After all he would never know that it's just a game we're all playing. That little green man would see hundreds of people in colorful garb, split into small groups, chasing little round objects through' a field with long clubs. Warfare? Agriculture? Religious ceremonies? Business? Would he know that those red-faced, frustrated, foot stamping, humans are really out on the golf course to have fun? Golf in spite of its infuriating aspects is really just a game. It's a pastime for those who like to get out into the sunshine and fresh air and need a legitimate excuse other than gardening or painting the porch. Golf is many things to many people. Golf can he heartbreakingly cruel . one minute and hilariously funny the next. If yop take it too seriously golf can make you grey, but if you don't take it seriously enough you will never know the elation or pure joy of hitting the perfect shot, or shooting your gest game ever, You see, golf is an individual game that can be whatever you want it to be. You set your own goals and go out and try to beat yourself. There's no sense in trying to beat the course because the golf course never loses no matter what you shoot. Winning over an opponent is fun too, but it's no fun at all if he plays lousy. However if he plays well and you play even better, well that's triumph) There's no referee out there blowing a whistle every time you bend one of the rules or make a mistake. You are on your own, and depending on whether you play alone all the time or with the same friends every day, you may develop your own modified version of the game, just like kids on the river playing Murray leads ladies' ball league In Ladies Recreational Softball League play of May 29 the early game saw the Queens and Ken Smith meet with the Queens winning 12-4. In the late game K. Murray won over McNichols 34-7 in five innings. Hitting for the winning team were Rose Bisback 3 doubles, Kathy O'Reilly 3 doubles, Linda Gridzak, Linda Brown, Wanda Moran and Hessie Kipfer all hit doubles. STANDINGS L T W PTS. 0 0 3 6 2 4 0 0 K.

The object of the game is to hit the ball with a club from the tee into the hole in the least number of Strokes. Jt sounds so simple and when watching the pros play it looks so simple. However, when I see someone make something look as easy as pie I'm often leery. Remember the fellows who used to travel from fa1J fair to fall fair with their magic vegetable preparers? "It slices. It dices. It shreds, It spreads." Spreads? Sure -all over the kitchen whenever I tried to use it. Let's face it the guy was a professional vegetable preparer (not nearly as glamorous as a pro golfer) and he was good at his job, After all if you diced carrots eight hours a day, five days a week, you'd be good too. For the average cook, though, those vegetable preparers were the closest thing to a professional manicure some of us ever got. The same is true for the average golfer. Getting the ball from the tee into the hole in the least number of shots is a major accomplishment, The worst of it is that it's all relative. Once you've,had your best game ever, nothing else will do, You have to keep having those games to give you that great eeling. Golf is cruel, ver the years playing the game has Jte me easier in some ways and more difficult in others. Scientific advancements in equipment, swing analysis, and improved course layouts and conditioning have made the game easier to a certain extent. Increased intervention with the game has also resulted in the laying down of governing rules to give a constancy to a game played all over the world, Rules are made and changed and rechanged over the years to improve the game and ensure that all golfers are essentially playing the same game especially in competition, or when trying to establish an accurate handicap for playing in future competitions, The present rule book is now a 100 pages long, a far cry from the basic idea of playing the ball from the tee into the hole and counting the shots it took. , The rules have )leen changed this year and it is the first major change since 1951. *Try our own smoked pork chops for the bar -b -q season* CUSTOM KILLING, FREEZING Cutting 8'N Wra[iptng IjI�%!KILL DAY ON TUESDAY ►AA11 meat Gov't.
