The Huron Expositor, 1983-05-11, Page 1010 -THE HURON EXPOSITOR MAY 11, 1983 PIaying ps senior citizens young lives, while many others do Golfing in the '80s and '90s1 Right now we'd all be happy to play in the 80s or 90s if that was the temperature! Even if it was our score some of us would be elated. 'But. what if it's your age? Golf has long been touted as the "Game of a lifetime". Entire families can enjoy golfing from the age of nine to 90.,Today even more atten- tion is being paid •to the "senior" golfer. In fact golf is one sport where the average age of participantshas ac- tually increased in the last 10 years. There are more more and more organized events for golfers in the 50 and over bracket. One of the most popular components of golf today is the Senior P.G.A. tour. where you can watch the greats of the past still show you how to play the game. Whether professional or amateur, scratch or high handicapper, golf is an ideal way to spend. your senior years. Many golf courses offer special senior rates to encourage play dur- ing the less busy weekdays. There are plenty of senior citizens who take advantage of this. Not only that, but they can enjoy golf without the hassles of crowds and lineups which are often the bane of the weekend golfer. The Hikers are • invited to view wild flowers Trout Lilies, Bloodroot, Marsh Marigolds, Wild Strawberry, and of course Trilliums. They're all com- mon spring wildflowers that will undoubtedly be encount--' ered by hikers at Rock Glen Conservation Area on Sun- day, May 15. The occasion will be the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority's an- nuli Spring Wildflower Hike. In addition to the more 'common wildflowers the hik- ers will look for less common types such as the true Solomons Seal or the intri- cate Columbine. Conservation Authority Naturalists will be available from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. to lead hikes and assist with wild- flower identification. While hikers will have to pay the 52 per/vehicle admission fee to the Conservation Area, re- freshing apple juice will be provided free of charge. Rock Glen Conservation Area is located 1 km north- east of the Town of Arkona. Hikers are advised tq,,dress for the weather and bring field guides, binoculars, or cameras, The Spring Hike will be a great outing for the whole family. increased availability of the power cart has also helped the senior golfer who would otherwise rind the game's walking too much. Those 'who don't use the carts often use pull carts and play shorter courses on gently rolling terrain. OVER 50 Some golfers who enjoy the game in their senior years have been playing all their not take it up until they are over 50. One such man is Henry George Miller of Cali- fornia who took up golf at 55. At the age of 93 he scored a hole in one, and shot an 82, much less than his age at the time! Then there's Kay Kearney an 81 -year-old Australian woman who also had a hole in one.

Kay began golf on a relatively easy nine hole course, but now she plays 18 holes two or three ,times a week.,.,and she walks! MANY SENIORS Locally, we have many senior citizens who managed oldest woman to have an ace and is another late starter in golf. She was an active athlete, (especially in .tennis, but started golf at the age of to get out several times a week to enjoy the fresh air. sunshine, exercise, and so- ,cializing that are so much a part of golf. Often in the summer when the juniors are not at school, the course is full of either the young or the old. They often join forces and it's not unusual to see a 75-vear- old six tooter coming down the fairway with a 10 -year-old four tooter. What has age got to do with having fun? While on the subject of senior golfers I can't help but mention Alliin Brown. Allan is,from Vermpnt and has been golfing most of his 90 years. He is past president and past captain of a number of clul15. and as he says "past every • thing".
