New holes being constructed ON THE GREENS_ by Carolanne Doig tra- The dust was flying everywhere last week as the dry weather continued in our area. Golfers were parched after only a few holes but were already enjoying the extra • distance that dry ground provided. • Many golfers questioned ,what was going. on in the field to the west of the course. I can't blame them for being curious, It look- ed like the Afrika Korps" whipping through BLYTH 523-4244 the deSert in a cloud of dust. In actuality it's the beginnings of the new holes being con- structed enroute to a full 18 holes. Since the golf course is at the end of the Seaforth moraine one of the most demanding and backbreaking jobs is stone picking. We generally get a couple of hundred bushels to the acre and even without replanting there's a fresh crop of stones every year.

Long term, short term, vacation & convalescent care. 527 -1440 - the stone. picking the ground is.vvorkedp - and smoothed to provide a good base for the - graSs to grow. It is a never ending job. In the area where work- is being done several new tees, greens and fairways will be constructed. It has been a few years since the second stage was completed resulting in four new holes new played as 6-7-8-9. It has been 27 -'years since construction first began on the original .9. Many people will remember the hours that were spent picking stones back then. -It seemed the holes would always•be stony and barren with tiny, trees dotted about under a blazing sun. Now the original 9 has bush fairways, true greens, and enough large trees to cause anguish to many a golfer. The second stage is coming along well with the trees growing fast enough to create a good outline to each hole. These new greens and fairways have knit- ted in nicely and golfers are no longer call- ing them the "new number 6,7,8 or 9". It won't be long until the new and exciting third stage is playable. • • RULINGS • After attending a four day Rules of Golf seminar in London last week I'm keen to share some interesting stories about rul- ings. Every golfer remembers the Craig Stadler ruling, the Rosie Jones disqualifica- tion, and T.C. Chens double hit. There are many more interesting tales. A cartoon poster of the 10 most broken rules.in hanging on the office door. Do you recognize yourself in any of those characters? If you do perhaps you'd benefit- from a rules Clinic or by watching the Tom Watson Rules of Golf film available in the clubhouse. The first Men's .night gets underway on Thursday.

Joan Bridge, who has accepted respon- sibility for organizing the program, said plans for dividing the interested par- ticipants into specific teams are vague, because of an uncertainty of who will be out every week. She Said the program might be more successful if it was nth on a drop-in basis, with different teams formed each week. Although credited with originating the idea of a women's ball hockey league, Dave Broome, said the women from the Cominer- cial and Queen's Hotels broomball teams organized the program and should get a lot of the credit. "I just told therh to go for it. They organiz- ed' it themselves. I had. nothing to do with it," he said. Ttventy-one woriteri turned out at the Com- munity Centres on Wednesday for the first night, and although they didn't get into an actual game situation, they were taught the rules and regulations of the sport, as well as what equipment to wear. Another practice - type night will be held May 20 at 8 p.m. with games to start the following week. Women of all ages are invited to come out and par.: ticipate. Cost is expected to be $2 per week. Pat Flanagan, who has been teaching the fundamentals of the game, said the women are catching on to the rides of ball hockey quickly. He also said most of those in- torested already know the rules of broom - ball and will apply those mkt to ball hockey. He added ball hockey is an easier sport to catch on to than brootnbalt Most of those participating in ball hockey see it as a sport that Will keep them in shape and give them a =Tuner sport other than baseball. Diane Bennett said she fotind it to be an excellent forth of exercise, and added it was easy to understand because of its similarity to broomball. She said her daughter Tracy "loved it" because she enjoys Mining. Mary Verberne also attended the Wednes- day night practise and said even though her husband plays ball hockey she still has a lot to learn. "The running was hard after not doing anything all winter," she said. Maureen Flanagan and Janice Cairns both said they fdurid ball hockey to be less tiring than broomball, but fOund a big dif- ferente in the way the offside rule was played. "It didn't seem as tiring, but there is a lot of twining," said Miss Flanagan, adding ball hockey should keep her fit, because it is more exercise than baseball, which she also plays. Miss Cairns added that there is no body contact in ball boOkey.
