It's time to get into shape f.othe
BY CAROLANNE DOIG
Whatever happened to the seasons?
Winter is supposed to be a time for ice,
snow, fireplaces, hot chocolate, and sports
that give your cheeks a rosy glow. Then
comes spring with snow drops, robins,
puddles, skipping ropes, and dreams of lazy
summer afternoons just around the corner.
What a teversal we have had this year!
I had been told what a super winter you
had all enjoyed and returned home
anticipating an early start tothe golf
season, Alas! When I opened the drapes on,
Sunday morning and saw all that snow, 1
realized that April really is the cruelest
month. I was even greeted with a witty
"Merry Christmas" from a neighbour as I
slid down the street. Now, how can anyone
write about golf on a day like that? All of my
ideas for getting everyone enthused about
the game were covered by a blanket of
snow.
Fortunately. and gratefully, our modern
technology brought us live coverage of the
Students want
pro tour from the sunny south, and the fine
performance by Canadian Jim Nelford who
finished in second place at Hilton Head, was
enough to boost the old spirit, 1 soon
realized that in spite of this little set back in
the weather, golf season really is just
around the bend, and it won't be long until
we are participating in one of summer's
most popular GETSINeSHAPE
Now is the time to get in shape for the
upcoming golf season. I don't mean just
getting your equipment in shape either, as
the most important piece of equipment is
your own body. It's going to take a few
week; to wear out those winter wrinkles.
Although some people think that golf is a
non-physical sport, fitness is just as
important to golf, as to the more strenuous
games. If you are in goad shape you will
play better and as a result enjoy the game
more.
The key fitness point in golf is flexibility,
although strength and muscular endurance
are also significant. Flexibility will improve
your co-ordinatibn and timing and result its
a more effective golf swing. This is why the
slim, tithe golfers like Chi Chi Rodriguez
and Beth Daniel can hit the ball just as far as
those who are heavier and stronger.
Increasing one's flexibility is not hard work,
but it does take time and persistent
exercise.
There are a number of exercises that will
increase the flexibility in your shoulders,
neck, back and waist, all kgy areas of the
golf swing. A factor that will limit your
flexibility is excess weight, which tends to
hinder the golf swing, and upset balance
and timing. Although many golfers are
rated _by some as overweight pseudo -ath-
letes, its quite apparent that the trend is
towards slimmer and fitter players. Nick-
laus played his best golf after slimming
down from his paunchy younger days.
Women on the pro tour have also tended to
slim down in recent years, a result of
greater exposure bythe media, and one that
has given us not illy better looking but
better playing golf s.

Strength is imgq agnt in the legs and
forearms. Leg stre thening exercises will
help give you a strq base to conduct your
swing from and str g legs are a necessity
just for gettingaro pd in oaf, Strengthen-
ing l 8
ing your forearms arid wrists will give you a
stronger grip and ltiore control over the
club. It is important not to build up the
upper arnis and sho Iders too much, as this
tends to bind the lfer, and decrease the
necessary flexibilit ,. A prime example of
this problem is Johnny Miller who spent one
winter chopping wbod and doing heavy
work on his farim The following year
Miller's swing was Out of kilter and it took
him ages to get hid old form back.
Muscular,endurtje and cardio -vascular
fitness are not as ffnportant to golf, as in
other more strenuous games. However, in

For those who find jogging too much like

just as well.
order to be fit enough to walk 18 holes over
hilly terrain without puffing and panting, it
is important to have the heart and lungs
working efficiently. Arnold Palmer jogs

Hello Seaforth! After years of watching
baseball, hockey, football, basketball and
soccer games and participating in swim-
ming and gymnastics. I'm eager to dive
into the sports community of Seaforth and
surrounding area. Feel free to phone or
drop by the Expositor with any information
you have on sports.
A first year recreation( student from
Mohawk College has been hired as the
co-ordinator of Sportsfest. Mary Jane
Nigh, who has been an active participant in
Seaforth high school sports and the
summer recreation programs, begins her
job in early May. Bryan Peter, recreation
director, says that she was hired because
she has been involved in many of the same
activities which will be happening in
Sportsfest, Aug. 12.14.
Soccer and baseball season will soon be
underway with practices of minor soccer
and baseball teams beginning this corning
week. In both sports there will be four
travelling teams and two houseleagues
with a T -ball league for the ng baseball
players. Although the player turnout has
been good, Bryan Peter says that there is
still a need for a few coaches. He hopes the
weather will improve next week for the first
practices.
At Seaforth District High School, 15
students recently approached physed
department head Terry Johnston about the
possibility of "pumping iron" at the school
Because there is no weight -lifting equip-
ment or any money or space available to
equip the school, Mr. Johnston recom-
mended they go to the Vanastra Commu-
•
to 'pump iron'
nity Centre which has a Universal Weight
Machine. Although he praised the Univer-
sal as "a good machine which can be used
by athletes from all sports," he said it was
an 'expensive toy" for the high school.
Instead, he said a machine, which costs
around $6000, could be purchased for the
Seaforth and District Community Centre so
the whole town could haye access to it.
Other high schopl sports news includes a
Huron -Perth badminton tournament this
past Tuesday which SDHS's badminton
team entered. The soccer teams begin their
games during the last week of April. Also,
the SDHS track and field team participates
in their first meet this Wednesday and
Thursday in 'London.
The new executive of the Centenaires
was chosen at their annual meeting
recently. The new president is Don
McClure, the secretary is Rita Core and the
secretary -treasurers are Mr. and Mrs.
Gary Gray. The team will have the same
manager as last year with Doug Bach.
Other business at the meeting. involved
discussing the possibility of buying new
uniforms for the team. The Centenaires'
banquet will be held on Friday night with
the social hour beginning at 6 p.m. and the
dinner at 7 p.m. Six competitive trophies
will be presented and three plaques will be
given to the boys who are leaving the team
because they have passed the age limit.
