Golf tips
By Ron Bileski
CPG() Professional
Basic sand play
When playingj normal sand
shots, weaken your grip in both
hands, turning them counter
clockwise with your left thumb on
the top of the club pointing straight
down the shaft.
Using a weak grip is much
easier to keep the c1u¢ face open
throughout the swing.lf you use a
strong grip the club face will tend
to dig into, rather than skip
through, the sand causing a varie-
ty of poor shots.
You need good footing in the
sand especially if the sand is soft
or sugary. The average player
doesn't work his feet into the sand
vigourously enough and playing
the shot, he slides around the
losses his balance. You must twist
your feet around until their move-
ment is restricted.
Remember that when you dig
your feet in, your hands will he
closer to the ball, so grip nearer
the shaft which makes the club
shorter to maintain a full exten-
sion of your arms.
For the basic sand shot work
your feet into the sand and open
your stance, hips, shoulders about
30° to the left. Now open your club
face 30° you actually swing left but
with the club face open the ball will
go straight to the hole. The open
face affords extta loft that lets the
club bounce through the sand.
easier. Aim about one to three in-
ches behind the ball and try to skip
or bounce the club through the
sand.
The next Grass Drag will be held at
Ilully Gully on Sunday, October 4,
with all classes running. Special at-
traction will be the Pro Water Skim-
ming Contest - you'll have to see it to
believe it!

Express in Great Lakes finals
The Exeter Express have advanc-
ed to the final round of playoffs in the
Great Lakes Senior Baseball
Association.
This week, the Express split two
games with Seaforth to end up with a
three wins and one loss record in
round robin playoffs and now meet
Strathroy in the finals. In the round
robin Seaforth broke even with two
wins and two losses while Walkerton
was able to win only once in four
starts. -
The games this week saw Seaforth
win by a 12-6 score in Exeter Tuesday
with the Express coming back to gain
a 10-5 victory in Seaforth, Thursday
night.
Dates for the final series against
Strathroy have not yet been finalized.
- In Tuesday's contest. Seaforth
scored five times in the second inning,
added a single score in the fourth
--frame and broke the game open with
a six run splurge after the Express
had evened the count in the bottom of
the sixth.
Brian Horner was the starting
hurler for the Exeter club. He was
.relieved by Jeff Fuller in the second
inning with two out. Fuller retired the
first batter he faced and allowed on-
ly one run until the fatal seventh.
Barry Baynham was the final
reliever in the seventh.
The Express opened their scoring in
the first inning when Don MacDonald
singled and scored on a similar hit
from the bat of Dave Bogart. Brian
Rob Bileski is
Seaforth best
Exeter golfter Rob Bileski is star-
ting to gain momentum in the junior
golf circuit as the summer wears on.
Bileski shot a one under par 71 to
become the over-all winner at the
Seaforth Junior tournament on the
weekend.
The 18 -year-old golfer said his con-
fidence had been boosted by recent
victories.
"Coming into the tournament with
a few wins under my belt gave me the
strong mental approach I needed to
play under par," he noted.
Facing a field of 68 players, many
of whom,vere strong golfers, Bileski
started off with a birdie on number
two. A string of bad holes, however,
left him two over par after' the
seventh hole.
Bileski managed to pull himself
together and birdie number eight with
an 18 footer. He then sunk a 10 foot
putt on the ninth hole for a birdie.
That brought him back to even par.
Settling down, he hit eight greens in
regulation, making birdies on number
12 and number 17, then getting a
bogey on number 17 to finish in first
place.
Bileski will move into men's tourne-
ment competition after this week. Ile
said that he was looking forward to
WOSSA highschool golf competition
with the SIIDHS Panthers this year.
Two other locals won their divi-
sions al the Seaforth junior tourney.
Jason Heywood captured top honours
in the bantam age group while Matt
Williamson and Steve Dubarry tied
for second in the juvenile division
with 78 each.

Mercer also singled in the same
inning.
In the Exeter third, Walt Parkinson
started things off with a single and
scored as Kevin Drager slammed out
a home run.
Bogart singled in the fifth, stole se-
cond and came around to count on a
single delivered by Kevin Drager.
The final two Express runs were
plated in the sixth as Greg Hern singl-
ed,stole second, moved to third on an
error and counted as Dave Hayter
singled. Barry Baynham followed
with another one -base blow and came
home on a Paul Gilmour hit.
In Tuesday's contest in Seaforth,
the Express reversed the procedure
on their opposition by breaking a 5-5
tie with five unanswered runs in the
seventh and final inning.
Barry Bayhnam and Paul Gilmour
shared the pitching win for the Ex-
press. Baynham was the starter and
held the opposition to one run for the
first three innings. In the first and
third he retired the side in order.
After allowing four runs in the
fourth frame Baynham was relieved
by Paul Gilmour who got the final out
and in the next three innings retired
nine of the 10 batters he faced.
On the offensive side, the Express
waited until the later innings to do
some scoring damage.
In the fourth, Mike Neil started the
rally with a single. Paul Gilmour in
as a runner came in to score on a
Dave Bogart single and a Dave
Hayter sacrifice fly.
Bogart scored as Walt Parkinson
singled and the latter completed the
base cycle on a hit by Brian Horner.
Don MacDonald and Pete Heeney
also contributed singles, but were left
stranded along with Horner.
Two Seaforth errors and singles by
Walt Parkinson and Brian Horner
produced two more Exeter runs in the
sixth.
The Express bats came alive in the
top of the seventh as Greg Hern, Doug
Fairbairn, Walt Parkinson. Pete
Heeney and Barry Baynham singled
and Don MacDonald cracked a home
run.
