(Hook photo) Be good to your greens Anyone who has been playing golf here on a regular basis this summer will cer- tainly note the change that a week of wet weather has made. Those many arid days had caused our unirrigated fairways to become rock hard and brown in colour. Just trying to keep the greens in shape was a full time job. Mind you we were all hitting the ball a mile! Then the rain came and almost overnight that emer- ald -colour was back along with the shorter distances. Now the course is back in super shape, and this has prompted me to rehash the old stories about helping to keep your. course in shape. Although we don't have any bunkers yet, many of you will experience bunker play at other courses. The disap- pointed look U. player has when his ball goes into a trap is magnified tenfold when the ball comes to rest in a footprint in that sand. Al- ways rake the traps smooth On ge@c coo Q©Qouaww® WO© after playing out of a bunker to ensure that the next unlucky player gets an equal- ly fair chance. Divots are the chunks of turf that are often ripped from the ground when execu- ting a shot. There is nothing wrong with taking a divot as long as it is replaced and stamped down, this minor fairway injury will heal itself. Since many people play preferred lies on the fairway, tt is legal to roll the ball out of a fairway divot, but if you're playing "summer rules" when you can't move the ball, it's pretty difficult to hit a good shot from a ball, half submerged by a divot. if all divots were replaced this frustrating situation would never occur.

Young trees are sensitive to abuse and so golfers are encouraged to move the ball away from trees under6 inches in height or less than 2 inches in diameter. Check that your baekswing and follow through with the lub' will not cosine in contact with any of these young trees. -so they can grow up to be healthy and beautiful. The tee areas generally take the most wear and tear, and chewed up tees are a fact of life at many courses. The main reason for this is/ not the actual tee shot. Usually the drive is hit off a wooden tee so contact with the round is not made, however it's the 5 or 6 practice swings that cause superintendants to shudder over tee damage. Take your warmup swings well away from the tee area and take a minimum number of practice swings prior to addressing the ball. A nice level grassy tee is the perfect start to every golf hole. The putting green is that piece of turf that most people marvel over. Everyone wants a lawn' like that carpet of green. Golfers respect the time and money that is spent in building and maintaining good greens, and true golfers look after "their" greens with real pride. Picking up your feet is essential espec- ially with golf spikes on and the occassional scrape or saiff should be tapped down right away with your putter so that no one will have to putt over the spike mark. If proper golf shoes are not a part of your wardrobe then running shoes or tennis shoes are best as an alterna- tive. When putting on the green its important to lay th6 flag down gently after removing from the hole, and don't lean on your putter or the flag El ET ET ET ET ET ET ET E7, ET ET ET ET ET ET ET ET ET r• FT ET ET ET ET ET FT FT FT ET ET ET E ET ET rT FT FT FT FT ET ET Er . nadian National Exhibition C1 Er Fr !r ET ET ET ET ET ET ET ET ET E• ET Exposition Nationale Canadienn Aug. 18 - Queen of the Fairs Aug. 19 - Variety Club Bingo Aug. 23 - Lover Boy Aug. 27 - Frank Sinatra Aug. 31 - Baltimore at Toronto NEW YORK Sept. 15 - Ladies Only - 4 days LAS VEGAS Sept. 28 - Special Group Departure - 4 days INTERNATIONAL PLOWING MATCH Sept. 28 - 3 days - 2 nights Sept. 30 - 3 days - 2 nights PINELANDS LODGE Oct. 3 - Especially for Seniors - 4 days Call today for details ALL DEPARTURES FROM EXETER Toll free 1-800-265-7022 Exeter area 235-2000 �a� As WSW 7& C®•— IATA aA CT ET Er FT Et F1 Er ET Er FT CT ET ET FT Fr ET ET ET FT FT FT FT FT stick, Ball marks are indentions made when a ball lands on the green from a long distance. These small marks can be fixed by using a special fixing device or even an ordinary tee. If the mark is fixed after the shot the grass will continue to grow but an unrepaired ball mark will take up to 2 weeks to recover. Ball marks are not only unsightly but difficult ea putt over. If you're not sure how to repair one properly; please ask someone to show you. Golf courses are beautiful places to enjoy the day and if we all do our part, the course wtl) be not only beautiful but re fun to play. Just remember - do unto others! Last Monday's ladies night saw only a small number out and Deb Core was our winner, by going farthest in the flag event. At Men's night winners were Jim Parkinson Jr., Jamie Cald- well, Rod Doig and Moe Huard.
