That may be easy for you to say as you haul the clubs up the basement steps, give them a quick dust, and head out to the local links. Meanwhile back at the ranch it's about time to man our "panic" er, should I say "battle" stations. Mother nature has kindly given us some rainy days to dust off Use remains of winter. Unfortunately getting rid of the indoor dust is not quite so easy, especially after a winter of alterations and renovations. What a messl The clubhouse has changed so much most, 'early ;itors have expressed awe anlj";;d amazement at the state of the place. I have to admit I expressed a little more than awe and amazement when I fust saw it. I have been known to misplace a file or two in my time, but when td misplaced the entire filing cabinet I knew I was in trouble. However slowly but surely we're getting everything sorted out and hopefully we'll soon be back to normal. The clubhouse is quite a spring cleaning )ob, but thankfully visitors pop in occasionally to give me a welcome chance to take a break and have a dein wag. These last few days the mnversatlons have centered around the clubhouse changes, musing us to reminisce and laugh about the place. This is our 25th year of operation es a golf course and the clubhouse has changed about as much as the course itself. "In the beginning" we had no clubhouse at all. On the lawn beside the first tee our snack bar consisted of a box of jersey milk chocolate bars and a case of pop that was only cold if the weather was. The proshop, WhIch was about 10 blades of grass away, was box of tees and a couple of dozen golf balls. Our most expensive golf ball at the time was the Spalding Dot whidi sold for $1 plus 5 cents tax, a very extravagant purchase (especially considering the condition of the course at the time). Sometimes I watched over this little "shop" from my lawn chair where I read a book and collected the few greenfees. Other ON THE GREENS by Carolanne Doig times I had to hop on the tractor and cut the fairways leaving the shop to Old Yeller, the residents canine at the time. Since Yeller wasn't very good at making change, or even small conversation for that matter, every golfer was''left:. tot'the) honor i, -system. Fortunately We lied some very honest golfers. After the stone farmhouse was fixed up a bit, the clubhouse was operated from the basement. We could now handle several kinds of golf balls and chocolate bars, and the boxes were lined up on the mantel. Over in the corner was the ultimate In pop coolers at the time. The pop was kept cool but it came out of the water dripping wet, and the ugly wet rag used todryoff the bottles was enough to put you off your chocolate bar. We had no' kitchen for hot or cold foods, but the indoor plumbing was a real boon to our regular customers. In 1067, Canada's centennial year, the old barn was dismantled down to the foundation and the presept chalet style clubhouse was constructed. This clubhouse is constantly undergoing changes as our needs expand. One thing thetins not changed over the years Is we are always trying to keep it as inexpensive at possible. Over the years we have acquired all manner of things tram clear -out sales, friends, auctions, and from other people's throwaways. The end result is not only a unique clubhouse but one with a history all its own. The chair I'm sitting on came from the old legion lounge where we also got some of the old bartables.

The fillorescent lights in the pro shop and the globe light in the lobby are from the disbanded military base an Oakville: Our unique carpeting is the result of fitting and gluing hundreds of samples down, and the wagon wheel lights in the hall were from a Wagon found in the river at Sproat's bridge. Two of the beams in the clubhouse were from the Donnolly shed in Dublin that came down in the tornado back in the sixties, and three•of the other beams are from the old toy factory that used to be where the senior citizens apartments on Market Street are. Our clothing racks are from Bill O'Shea Men's Wear and Larone's, and the antique cash register upstairs is from the old St. Mary's Golf Club proshop. The boiler is from the Kincardine hotel and to top everything off the hat rack and used club barrel were acquired by careful shopping at the local landfill site. In recent years we have been able to purdsastcarpeting, drapes, freezers, furni- ture and more as we need them. Although itis nice to buy something brand'new there's something in our Scottish ancestry that keeps us looking for a bargain.
