What have you been' doing all winter? Have you been playing hockey, or broomball, or basketball, or have you just 'been cheering from the stands or your easy chair? Have you been crosscountry skiing or just reading about it? If you get tired just watching Jane Fonda's workout tape then it's time to get into the swing of things. Contrary to popular• belief golf is a physical game. Golf requires strength, flex- ibility, endurance, hand -eye coordination, good-immg, and a goad -mental -attitude. Granted we don't 'see too many golfers beading perspiration (at least not until the temperature rises), .nor do we see. golfers gasping for breath. However in spite of 'the odd very obvious putter's paunch and occa- sional puff of smoke exhaled by a nervously smoking' golfer, the trend in golf circles is towards fitness. The fitness fashion in golf is evident in the - stronger, leaner look of pros on the PGA and LPGA tours.•. Golfers like Jack Nicklaus, `Gary Player•(now a member -of -the -senior 'team), ' Nancy Lopez, and now Joanne. Carner, are proof positive that fitness and finesse go hand-in-hand. Gary Player was always an active and avid fitness advocate: When other pros were unathletic looking, • Player's, fitness . regimen of running, calisthenics, and. stretches enabled him to • hit the ball just as far as the big fellows. Nicklaus used to be called "Ohio,Fats" but a strict diet and exercise program not only changed his physical appearance but Strengthened . his game. On the ladies tour the trend to trimming down -tame coincidentally with increased media attention. Cameras make everyone ON THE GREENS byrarolanne Doig look heavier and the lady pros were no ex- ception. Nancy Lopex was one of the, first women golfers to trim down. noticeably. Many other golfers followed and if you ha 'e seen Joanne Corner, who is known affec-' tionately .as 'Big Mama" you. will have noticed that -this champion has pared down over the winter. . • The=basie-three-areas-of-fitness-are-the— same for any sport - strength, flexibility and cardiovascular, conditioning. However, when exercising for golf it is essential• to follow a program that is not defeating the purpose. , For golf you need strong legs to form a solid stance and create power for the swing. Strong legs are also essential for walking 18 holes on hilly courses. Strength is also need- ed in the forearms, wrists and hands. A good solid` grip is' the first thing a golf pro will check when giving- lessons-,Fle-xibility is essential to perform the' turn in the golf .sw- ing. A good full turn will create more power 'and give you much more distance. It is im- portant to be flexible in the waist, torso, shoulder andneck area. Women are generally more flexible than. men and men in turn are generally stronger than women therefore remember to concentrate on your weakest areas. As for cardiovascular condi- tioning, golf is not a: game where the heart= beat goes ,up (except when you see your brand new pinnacle heading for the, pond or pasture). However if you find youself puff- ing and, panting when climbing to an, elevated tee or green you ..would certainly 15 attend district Legion Last weekend the District C convention was held at the Guelph branch of the Legion. Fifteen local .members and wives attended that two-day meeting. • This being election. year a crowd of ap- proximately 500 delegates and wives were in attendance.
