April a frustrating month for Canadian golfers April seems to do it to Canadian golfers every year. We get some great weather, get the clubs out of the basement, andsit down to watch the. Masters. We're keen. We're more than keen. We're obsessed. After all. for many of us, it's been months since we've held a club in our hands. Any day we'll be back out oirthe local course....and then what happens? You wake up on Sunday morning with the sun streaming in and an inch of that awful white stuff all over your front lawn and you guessed it, the golf course. People who live in gentler climes just don't understand the Canadian golfer. They never have to put the clubs away for months at a time. They have never golfed with a to- que and mitts on, They don't have to phone their club every spring to find out if the flags are in yet. Many people can play golf day after day, year after year, and never ex- perience the April blues that Canadians suf- fer through year after year. The good news is that it's going to get bet- ter. The temperature will go up, the days will get longer, the grass will get greener and once again we golfers will tee it up for another summer of slicing, hooking, and cooking up new excuses. We will be keen at the start, especially after spending a winter watching the pros make it look easy. We've read up on all the latest techniques,watched an we viaeos. ana zorgotten aii our bad habits. This year we're going to play our best golf ever. We'll get out regularly, prac- tise more than ever, and look out! ! Golf is a love/hate relationship for many players. In April and May, and even into June, we are generally in the 'I love golf' stage. After all, after the long winter, even the worst game on the course beats shovell- ing out the driveway. July and August we start to panic. Our bad habits are back. The new clubs aren't doing what the brochure ON THE GREENS by Carolanne Doig promised, and the latest golf magazine has just contradicted everything you memoriz- ed last winter. By September you start to hate the game. You haven't improved one iota over last season and you're running out of time. The first bad weather in October gives you the excuse to stash the equipment for another year and dig out your skates and skis, thankful for a break from this 'awful game. in spite of this prediction, it's great to be back for another season. Although,the local course isn't open for play, the clubhouse has seen a number of players out just to look around and talk about their favorite game. The course has wintered well and once it warms up it will be all systems go. Already one group has started with the group lessons set up by the Recreation and Parks Depart- ment. Both the mens and ladies provincial golf associations have held a number of meetings since January to ensure that the sununer of 1989 will be great for Ontario golfers. It doesn't matter what your age or skill level is, or whether you're male or female - there is lots of golf planned for the upcoming sounder. During the summer I'll try to keep all the area golfers well informed of upcoming events, tournament results, changes in the rules, and also give lots of hints about equip- ment, safety, clothing, various forms of play and more. If you're a golfer I hope you'll stay tuned each week for a fun column. If you have any ideas or requests that I could write about please let me know.

A player playing in the rain holds an um- brella over his head with one hand while hol- ing a very short putt, gripping the putter with the other hand. Is this permissible? A. Yes. Rule 14-2 prohibits a player, while making a stroke from accepting protection from the elements from someone other than himself. However, it does not prohibit him from protecting himself. I thought this was the perfect rule for April, the month when umbrellas color the fairways almost every day.

Senior bowlers meet for fun day at lanes SENIOR BOWLING There were 30 bowlers present, when the Seniors met for Fun Day to end this season's bowling. Each member paid $1 extra and this money was given out in prizes. The group was divided into teams of two - high bowlers with low bowlers. The team of Don Wood and Janet Rice received first prize, Gordon Murray and Wilfred Tremeer second prize, Bert Walters and Gordon Pap - Novice record The Seaforth Novice team was invited to play another exhibition game so on Monday, April 3 the boys and their coaches went to Mitchell to play their final game of the year. Jered Munro started the scoring for Seaforth late in the first period on an unassisted goal. Mitchell came back early in the second period to tie it up. This time it was Scott Henderson who gave Seaforth the lead as he let go a high shot from the centre of the blue line. Five minutes later, Mitchell tied up the game at 2-2. Mitchell scored to take the lead for the first (and last) time at the 13:40 mark of the third period. Near the middle of the last period Mark Van Dooren got a shot on net but the goalie stopped it. Michael Mullin was in close and he picked up the rebound and popped it in. Shortly after that goal Seaforth went ahead on a beautiful pass by Brandon Nash up to Derek Smith who was in the clear. He slipped the puck into the net right near the goal post. The boys then got three more quick goals within the space of a minute. Pat Coyne passed the puck from behind ,the net to Jeremey McNichol who scored. Then Jered Munro scored unassisted from the point. The last goal was scored with 1:32 remaining in the game. It seems fitting that the team's leading goal scorer should get the credit for the last goal STr COLUMBAN i!

As captain of the Novice team, Mark Van Dooren thanked the coaches on behalf of the rest of the team, for all their help during the year. The assistant -captains, Jered Munro and Bruce Griffin, helped Mark by each giv- ing a small gift to the coaches. As a parent, I would also like to thank the coaches Murray Henderson and Terry Craig and manager Ted Griffin for all the hours they have spent with the team.
