It's something that many of you look tbrwar -to allrweek long. Da before Sunday arrives u've made arrangements with friends to play a certain time on your favourite course. if you live in the city you arrange for a tee -off time well in advance, otherwise it's up at the crack of dawn and take pot luck. You may feel that you are the only people crazy enough to rise to the clang of an alarm on Sunday morning two hours earlier than when you have to go to world Not really, Nelsen motivates shotputters • • BY SUSAN HUNDERTMARK Rain postponed the Neilsen Field Classic at Seaforth District High School last weekend but Mary Thompson and Martin Andreassi arc still ready to compete in the shotput and discus events if the meet is held as planned this Saturday. Both Mary and Martin have been training since the end of March by lifting weights and doing exercises with and without a shot. They practise for an hour atter school every day and have shots they take home with them for more practise even though Mary admits she doesn't work out tt5uch at home because "my mother doesn't like. the shot holes on the lawn." Both were recruited while still in public school by Terry Johnston, SDHS phys. ed. dept. head. to particip le in these tietd events. And. it's Terry J hnston. they agree, who gives them a lot of heir motivation. Motiv tion also comes tront personal pride and the fact that Johnny Neilsen went to the same high school. Martin says it would be great 10 ever he as good as Johnny but Mary admits that it would be difficult to keep up with him. Mary, who sometimes gets together with Johnny in the summer to throw some shots. says that examples of his strength can be seen in the cracks on the gym wall at SDHS. Johnny Neilsen holds the Ontario record in senior high school shot•put and the Canadian record in junior shot-put. He's ranked 4th in Canada and 7 h in the Commonwealth and hopes to be competing in the world university games in Edmonton now that he is attending University of Michigan says ()ii. uvuus Wll. Mary and Martin are looking forward to the competition this Saturday and at the Huron -Perth Meet next Tuesday. Coach Johnston says that he expects Mary to end up in the top three of the senior girls shot put and discus. in this weekend's meet. Martin's success, Johnston says, depends on whether he competes in the midget or junior age group; in junior, a heavier shot and discus are used and Martin would be competing against older, more experienced athletes.

MARYS yon they took along their clubs, cleared areas for play, and established golf courses. GOLF CLUB Golf came to Canada offi- cially in 1873 with the founding of the Royal Mont- real Golf Club, the oldest club in North America, How- ever, it is suspected that the Hudson Bay fur traders, many of them Scots, had already been playing golf for years. By 1880 there were clubs at Quebec City, Tor• onto and Brantford. Golf's popularity continued to grow and spread across the land. The Royal Canadian Golf Association was founded in 1896 to promote interest in c golf, establish and enforce unity in the rules, and control the national and provincial tournaments. The first Can- adian Amateur was held in 1895 and the first Canadian Open in 1904. Now the additional organizations of the Canadian Ladies Golf Union and the Canadian Professional Golf Association are also concerned with golf in Canada. In spite of the fact that Canadians cannot play dur- ing the long cold winters, the game of golf is a popular, and thriving summer pastime. Canadian golfers will brave the wet spring, scorching summe8r, and crisp fall to get in as many rounds as possible before the snow flies. They have been known to tolerate mosquitos as big as helicopters, black flies, bears and foxes that run away with the golf balls, all in the name of golf. They will fly or drive south in the winter, or set up nets and putting pals in the house in order to extend their golfing season. Whenever possible they will plunk in front of the T.V. to watch the pros, or devour golf magazines and books, while dreaming about the upcoming season. Our northern latitude and day- light savings time at least compensates a little by giv- ing us long days in an otherwise painfully short summer. Most golf courses M Canada take advantage of the summer and stay open dawn 'til dark seven days a week. THOUSANDS Today there are thousands of golf courses in Canada offering everything from ex- pensive exclusivity to the economical basics of the game. There are organized Programs for men, women, junior boys and)3irls, as well as the increasing number of senior golfers. There are serious competitions for golfers in every range of ability along with plenty of "just for fun" events de- signed to get the whole family involved. Canadian golfers seem to make the most of their golfing season. Ladies, please note that there will be a meeting in the clubhouse at 8 p.m. Monday, May 9 to get your '83 season going.
