HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1988-04-27, Page 11Golfers appear to be an insane
Believe it or not, there were actual peo-
ple golfing over the weekend. Yes, you can
talk about the proverbial mail man, but I
really think golfer's top the list for all-
weather fanaticism. After all they're not
getting paid, they're doing it for fun! And
some aren't even having any fun either. Still
out they come, rain or shine, windy or still,
hot or cold.
Weather has a significant effect on all out-
door sports. Baseball games are cancelled
due to rain, football players slither and slide
in fields resembling the International Plow-
ing Match. At the top of wind swept moun-
tains skiers catch the lift back down because
of poor visibility and, while sailing en-
thusiasts pray for the wind, skydivers dread
those "grounded" days. Golfers, however,
just plug away at their game. As long as the
flags are in the players are out. Last Satur-
day they played in the snow, Sunday they
played in gale force winds, Tuesday they
played in the pouring rain, and this past
weekend in the cold north wind. Golfers
really are insane - thank goodness.
Golf and weather are inseparable compa-
nions. The weather can make a pleasant
course rather nasty and it can change the
whole approach to your golf game. Golfers
ON THE GREENS
by Carolanne Doig
must learn to dress for the weather and ads
just their techniques to varying conditions.
Successful golfers learn horn to play in the
wind, tail, head and cross. They learn how to
play In the hot dry weather taking advan-
tage of every inch of roll and dressing for
hot sunny days. Golfers adapt to cold wet
days with slippery grips and absolutely no
roll at all.
You can play the same course day after
day but Mother Nature will keep you guess-
ing in an ever changing environment. In
the nextfew weeks we'll explore the ups and
downs of golfing in Canada where the
weather is the topic of many a conversation
and the excuse for many a golfer's score.
Don't forget lady golfers that the season
opener is Monday night with a potluck sup-
per, rain or shine. There will be golf
beforehand, weather permitting. Tuesday,
night is the first Men's night and the new ex-
ecutive is looking for a good turnout, so
