The Huron Expositor, 1983-06-01, Page 10A10 — THE HURON EXPOSITOR, JUNE 1, 1983 koelg Farnous golfers need advice of club pros We looked at becoming a "touring", or playing, pro- fessional golfer in a recent column. For some it is the ideal life, but for many avid golfers, who want a job in the golf industry, the touring pro's life is not their cup o. tea. In that case, why not become a club or teaching pro? Gone are the previous visions of fame and fortune, along with the adoring fans. However, many golfers, male and female. have found life as / a club pro to be a wonderful way to make a living and enjoy golf too! Without the club pro there really is no golf. For one thing, who do you think teaches the pros, or the top amateurs? Who guides them through the dark days of not hitting the ball "flush"? A teaching pro of course! Even the best of the best need help sometimes. That's when the teacher is invaluable. His technical knowledge, of the swing , and equipment can soon turn those bogeys into pars and birdies. Whether you're an aspiring tour player or a weekend duffer looking' for better scores, you'll find a teaching pro to be a valuable friend. From the quick tip to the intensive lesson, he's there to help you enjoy the sport more. A CATCH As usual, there's a catch to the job. Most golf pros do not spend all their time teaching, and likewise they don't spend all their time golfing either. Being a club professional is such a time intensive job that playing a game is often a luxury! The golf industry has matured into a big business. and the result is that the club pro must wear many hats. N.P. Many clubs pros have spent much of their youth in the golfing world, either playing or caddying as youngsters at the local course. They continue to show an interest in golf through their senior school years. Who really knows when, or how a person chooses golf as his ultimate career? The Canadian Professional Golf Association has exten- sive guidelines for the culti- vating of the certified C.P.G. A. pro.- They prefer applicants with at least a grade 62 education.hti'gcjod physical condition and with an outgoing personality. This must be mixed with equal amounts of dedication and hard work. To become a class A-1 head professional can take from 10 to 15 years. five of which are spent as an apprentice. HOME STUDY A number of areas are dealt with in great detail, during the education of the appren- ing method§ and theory, merchandising, financial statements and inventory control. After 5 years as an apprentice and successful comieetion of a zone business On dto gow@ng '6}y CCNCAoimWQ Dolig tice, Along with supervised on-the-job training, the fu- ture pro must take home study courses as well as attend schools, clinics, semi- nars, and workshops. At the end of all that there are examinations to pass. Up- grading of playing and teach- ing skills continues as the apprentice also develops a knowledge of equipment, rules, and tournament opera- tions. The education is con- tinued farther afield to en- compass merchandising, small business operations, member relationships and public relations. There is somuch involved these days in running a successful golf club, that it's necessary to spend consider- able time on the various skills needed. After passing an entrance ekam, the future pro enters into the assistant train- ing program. Each year he must complete a lab report covering such subjects as power cart fleet operations and maintenance. bag room operations, club operations, course maintenance, teach - school the assistant becomes an A-10 pro and may seek a position as a head pro at a club. Continuing education, both physical and theoretical enable the A-10 to upgrade himself to the top of his profession as an A-1 pro. Your pro is always around the club, either giving les- sons, or helping to fit equip- ment or apparel. He always has a sympathetic or praising answer for your game, and plenty of golf tales of his own. He isn't out golfing all the time, as his job is to serve you the golfer. His knowledge in all facets of golf make his service to you, .an indispens- able commodity, and result in a rewarding career for the pro. The first men's night was rained out but on May 26 14 fellows braved the weather. Winners in the blind draw were Cam Doig and Ken Swan. Ladies are invited to Exeter Tues. June 14.

The outstanding player on the team was Greg Murray, who scored 12 out of the team's 18 goals during the season, but the success of the team was based on the valuable contribution from all 15 members of the squad, said the coach. Most of the players will still qualify to play as Juniors next season. "I think they have a good chance at doing well, if not better, next year," he said. The Senior team finished nineth in the league with a record of two wins, (including a 6-0 win over Mitchell; and six losses. "It never realized its po- tential, despite some good individual performances. Most of the players will be back at S.D.H.S. next season, so the coaching staff can hope for better things," said Peter Latronico, who also coached the senior team.

All have one thing in common, they're members of 11 Beaver colonies for boys 5 to 7 years old. They are the junior members of the Perth District of the Bluewater Region of the Boy Scouts. Attending' with their leaders were colonies from St. Marys, Tavistock, Sebringville, Shakespeare, Kirk - ton, Cromarty, Granton, Mitchell, Seaforth, Monkton and Milverton. They were divided up into small groups for their activities which included crafts such as making frig magnets --little E.T. figures made of pretzels glued on felt with eyes added and races including relays and obstacle course's. There were quiet periods when they competed to see who could remember best what was in a box full of various articles or when they sat on the grass to hear stupes as they munched big red Mac apples. It was a busy day for working up appetites. At suppertime they met with members of their own colonies tO toast buns and wieners over fires. For dessert they shared two huge cakes, one chocolate and one white decorated with a Beaver design and inscribed: Perth Beaveree 1983 made by Joyce Ribey of Seaforth. Her husband Ross. a leader of the First Colony of Seaforth, was one of the hosts for the Beaveree, the fifth held by the Perth District. Badges were presented to the Beavers and their leaders. During the closing ceremony around a big cant fire Michael Park, a grade 1 teacher at Seaforth Public School led in singing and telling stories.
