A10 — THE HURON EXPOSITOR, APRIL 27, 1983 Gwt@gla6wm@IM Warm ups. will help your golf dame too • It was a rather cool wintery weekend, but the course was open and it was good to see all the area golfers back at their favourite summer sport, but the weather is going to have to warm up a bit before 1 venture out onto the course. Fortunately, not everyone minds those northerly breezes. Keeping warm on the golf course is the main problem in playing spring and autumn golf. This week we'll have a look at warping up and keeping warns on the course. Golfers always amaze me. They come out on the coolest of days and are bundled up to ward off the elements. Most golfers have the latest in warm sweaters, slacks, wind - breakers. and hats. Some even carry pocket warmers to keep their hands comfortable between shots. This doesn't amaze me because dressing warmly is just being sensible. However, what about warm- ing up the body and mind before heading out on the course? When I see a couple of golfers m •rs rush from the club- house to the first sec, hit the otf I shake 1 hall. and takemy head. No warm up and no • practice, lust hit site ball and go. Gulf must be the only On ge@Gag by C© ©llQW91l@ ag sport where the average player doesn't bother with a pre -game warmup. We have all seen joggers, bikkrs, and other athletes warm up slowly with stretching exercises and calisthenics. Before a hockey, basketball, or soccer garne, even before a dart game. there is usually 10-15.minutes spent geeing the body mov- ing and getting the feel of the equipment or playing area. Why not in golf? Why race to the tee, take a practice swing and then boons one into the corn field? Time can't be that short. Besides, it takes longer to re -tee, hit again and then find the first ball. than 0 docs to start off right down the middle. 0 would really be faster, not to mention more v n to warm up , P for 10 minutes and then play more accurately. FUN AND FRESH AIR �cr I know we rc n ros, , believe me, I know. e're only out for a few hours of sun. tun and fresh air. I agree that 0 is pointless for most of us to spend hours warming up on the range or putting green as the pros do, After all they are playing for totally differ- ent reasons. However, why tear out there and hack for the first five holes before "get- ting the feel of it?" Most golfers come in with a score that could have been much lower, if not for the first couple of holes. Most concede that 0 took them just a few holes to get warmed up. Why do we play this way every day, but when we're in a competition or a small tourna- THIS WEEKEND: APRIL 29-30.

If you feel 0 helps you on tournament day, I'm sure it would be benefi- cial before every game. LIMBER UP Limbering up your muscles is especially important on cold mornings early in the season. Not only will 0 improve your game, but it will decrease the chaisee✓of-pt fl- ing a muscle, or causing another injury that will fur- ther spoil your golf. A few stretches. bends, and turns, some deep breathing, and quick stepping will get the blood pumping and the mus- .ti cles ready tor action. Some- timesrswinging the club with a weight on it helps too. After that the club feels light as a feather. - Once you feel sufficiently warmed up, it's time to tune into your equipment. Select a couple of clubs and hit a few balls with each. Personally 1 think choosing your favourite clubs is best, because it builds your confidence and puts you in the proper frame of mind. There is no sense in warming up with the 111 iron, that you never could hit anyway. Save it for the practice session. Now on to the practice green for some long and short putts. "just to get the feel of 0". Your confidence is built up, and you are now physically and mentally ready to play a round of golf, That 15 minute warm-up can make all the difference to your game. Why not give 0 a try?` STOP i SAVE OPEN D A 5 5 A WEE 5 Legion bowlers We have a short report of the District meeting at Guelph on the weekend of Apr. 16 and 17.

Al Nicholson of Sea - forth, forth, Herman Young of Kincardine ,and Fred Tilker of Hanover were given the highest awards Legion has to Offer. All three were given the Palm Leaf for their Meritorious Service Medals. These awards are not given out lightly but must be earned by years of unselfish service to Legion interests. Congratulations are certainly in order for these three comrades. • This was election year at 'District level with five candi- dates vying for the office of Deputy District Commander: Walter Dukes of Zone C3 was the successful comrade on the fifth ballot. We will certainly be seeing more of comrade Walter in the next few years. Lloyd Anderson of Elmira who has been the Deputy for the past two years'tnoved up to the position cif District commander for the next two years. We wish these com- rades the best in their endeavours for their ensuing terms of office. Len Dunkel, now past District command - QUEEN'S HOTEL THE MOST EXCITING thing to hit Seaforth Monday morning was the 1st Royal Canadian Regiment of London. Several youngsters caught a glimpse of "their guys" and were speechless. The caravan of armoured vehicles stopped at the Freeze King, west of town for a pit stop. The regiment was on their way to Camp Borden near Barrie. (Wassink photo) do ewel er was presented with his Past District commander badge, medal and bar. Len will be running at the Provincial level for vice- president at the coming Provincial convention in Nia- gara Falls neit month. The same weekend we had two teams of mixed bowlers go to the Fergus invitational bowling. The team of Don and -Joan Eaton, Al and Marg Smale and Don and Anne Wood were second place winners but the other team of Jack and Doreen Eisler, Jack and Marie Muir and my wife Barbara and myself were not so fortunate. But all had a very good time. This coming Friday night will be the final bowling night this season for the Legion Bowling League but we ,will have more to write about next week.

We hope those of our members and their wives who like dancing II attend. The price is only S a couple and I'm sure a good time will be had by all. Our public speaking con- testant, John Kalbfl eisch who was speaking a week ago at Barrie in the Area level came in second place. Although John had to win to go on to Provincial Level, getting a second place at area level is quite .high and John certainly deserves con- gratulations for going so far in his first try.
