A message·
from the MGA
President
DONALD L. NUTLEY
The Manitoba Golf Association believes that the
"Eighties" will be a decade of growth for Manitoba golf. It
began In 1980 with the expansion of the Rural Amateurto
include a Seniors section, the Inception of the North
American Life tournament, the establishment of a Senior
Team Trials system and the debut of the Manitoba Golf
Annual .
In this, the second edition of the Annual, it pleases me
to be able to report that this growth will continue in 19B1 .
Among the things to look for this year are :
• Expansion of the North American Life tournament. In
1980 it was a Father-Son Competition, in 1981 It will be
enlarged to include a Mother-Daughter section.
• Establishment of an annual series of matches that will
pit our best Junior golfers against their peers from the
State of Minnesota. It will be played on a Walker Cup
format combining four-ball and singles matches.
• Plans are underway for a Manitoba Senior Inter-Club
competition to be played along the same lines as the
Free Press Manitoba Inter-Club Championship . This
event will commence either this year or next
depending on the availability of a golf course.
In 1981, the M .GA has the largest budget in its
history. The expansion of competitions and services for
Manitoba golfers naturally requires more funds. To this
end It was found necessary to raise many tournament
entry fees but these increases were kept to the minimum;
barely enough to keep pace with rising operating costs.
M .G.A. membership fees were raised this year by fifty
cents because of an increase in R.C.G.A. dues by the
same amount; therefore none of the raise will remain
with the M .G.A .. but will be passed directly to our parent
body. However, If it were not for the financial and other
support received from the Govern-ment of Manitoba and
the Manitoba Sports Federation all increases would have
been far more severe and we are deeply indebted to
them for their assistance.
There is one goal that has so far eluded the M.G.A ..
and that is the establishment of a competition or competitions for middle and higher handicap golfers. It Is a
program fraught with many difficulties; availability of
golf course, conflict with M.G.A. and other tournaments,
personnel to operate the events and many more. We are
not, however, discouraged and hopefully the near future
will see this wish become a reality.
Any amateur sports organization is only as good as
the people who work for It and the M .G.A. is fortunate
that we have a hard-working, dedicated group of volunteers. Every year, though, the demands become heavier
and I would like to urge anyone who feels thet they heve
something to contribute and Is willing to Invest some
time and effort to offer their services. You can do so by
contecting your club's M .G.A. representative, or the
M .G.A. office. Every contribution, no matter how small,
no matter at what level, enriches the game we all enjoy
so much and helps to keep it healthy and growing.
I would wish all members of the Manitoba Golf
Association a fine year of golfing and may some of your
best shots be made before the Nineteenth Hole.

Greetings from Province of Manitoba
Once again. it is my pleasure to extend greetings from the
Province of Manitoba and to convey best wishes for another
successful season .
It is rewarding to know that the Department of Fitness.
Recreation and Sport Is able to assist the Manitoba Golf
Association. its member clubs and the many volunteers who
contribute their time. energy and talent to this fine game. By the
collective efforts of all those involved. we can continue to
expand and improve golf opportunities for people throughout
the provi nce.
Good luck and continued success in 1981!
BOB BAN MAN.

Best wishes from R.C.G.A. President
It is my pleasure on behalf of the Royal Canadian Golf
Association to extend warm wi shes to the Manitoba Golf
Association and all Manitoba golfers for a most successful
golfing season in 1981 .
Over the years Manitoba has produced some of Canada's
finest amateur and professional golfers. It is unwise to start
naming individuals. but it is also difficult not to recall the play
and the career records of golfers such as Bobby Reith. Allan
Boes. Hal Eidsvig. the Homenuiks. the Pidlaski family. George
Knudson and now. of course. Dan Halldorson who has achieved
personal success and recognition for Canada on the U.S. Tour.
The development of such gollers - and many. many more
- is a tribute to the Manitoba Golf Association and I would urge
you to continue your good work in the interest of the game we
all love.
May I take this opportunity to extend my congratulations to
the Manitoba Golf A ssociatio'n for its Initiative In publishing the
M .G.A. Golf Annual for the reading pleasure of its members and
to strengthen its financial base. It is a most worthwhile effort.

IN MEMORIAM
•
MARJ EDEY
Since this is a publication of the
Manitoba Golf Association, the gov·
erning body for male golf activity In
the province, the female golf picture
in Manitoba isn't included.
However. an exception is made
here to pay tribute to one of the bestknown and best·liked female golfers
In Menitoba - Marj Edey of Charleswood, who passed away shortly
before the 198' golf season was to
st8rt, on March 28.
Free Press golf writar Da/lis Beck
summed up the feelings of a/l Manitoba golfers with a tribute to Marj in
his Tee Topics column, part of which
Is reproduced here:
In roughly a quarter century of
chasing golf balls and golfers hither
and yon, I don't think I've ever met a
competitor like Marj Edey - such a
tiger on a course, such a kitten In the
clubhouse.
In her own modest manner, Merj
never "beat" anyone. She was either
" very fortunate," or the opposition
was "unfortunate." Yet, through this
kindly mixture of circumstances, she
won the Charleswood women's club
championship an astonishing 36
times, the provincial title five times,
the senior provinciel crown three
times and was a member of the provincial team 20 times.
Check thet record and you know
that a gracious lady must have been
dOing something right.
Now, just as she was embarking on
her golden years, she Is gone, and
the game of golf In Winnipeg, In
Manitoba, in Canada, in the world, is
much poorer for the facl.
Just last fall, the members of
Charleswood struck a new championship trophy to perpelUate Marj
Edey's name. After all, she had
owned the original for the best part
of 42 years.
Mrs. Edey was a golfer who com·
peted against anyone and everyone
and loved it, whether they shot 72 or
172.
She's earned a preferred teeoff
time at that big course in the sky and
every golfer who ever had the honor
of meeting her has lost a true friend.
It was a pleasure, Marj.

We'd like to hear from you
Welcome to the seco nd edition of the Manitoba
Golf Annual, a publication which serves a two-fold
purpose - to provide useful information and
articles of interest to you, the go lfers of Manitoba,
and also to raise funds to assist in the staging of the
Manitoba Open golf championship.
As with the first edition in 1980, this year's
publication features the past records and last year's
highlights of the major MGA tournaments, such as
the Open, the Amateur, the Jack Blair, the interclub events and the special competitions for
seniors, juniors and rural go lfers.
This year, we also have features on such events
as the week-long Tamarack tournament at Clear
Lake and the Bill Thomson Invitational pro-am, plus
some information on the newest city nine-hole golf
course schedu led to be opened this summer and a
story about Manitoba's Dan Halldorson and his
success on the U.S. pro tour.
We have expanded the coverage of the rural
activities and also paid a little more attention to the
junior and senior competitions by bringing their
events together in sections.
Other new features this year include some tips
from the local golf professionals and a chance for
you to test your knowledge of the rules of golf as
they apply to some unusual circumstances.
,
In short, the effort has been made to make the
M anitoba Golf Annual a more interesting publication for the golfers of the province. And, this is
where YOU come in. We'd like to hear from you if
you have ideas you'd like to see covered in future
editions. Do you like the idea of having the pros
provide tips? Do you like the rules feature? Are
there other events about which you'd like to see
reports? Is your club planning any specia l activities
which might be of interest to others?
We can't promise to respond to all requests, but
we'd like to get an idea of what the go lfers of
Manitoba want to see in this annual publication. If
you have some ideas, please forward them to the
M anitoba Golf Association office, 1700 Ellice
Avenue, Winnipeg R3H OB1.
Some planning is already under way for the
AL MACATAVISH
General Chairman
6
1982 Annual. We will continue to provide the reports on the official major events and the schedule
of tournaments will remain a feature. Some
changes are being investigated to update the directory of golf courses, we're hoping to provide
articles on some of the popular "outside" tournaments, and we're hoping to have more pictures.
With regard to the second purpose of the
Manitoba Golf Annual - to raise funds to assist in
the staging of the Manitoba Open - we are
pleased to report the first edition provided substantia lly toward the $15,000 tournament last year
at Pine Ridge and it's expected this year's magazine
will provide a littl e more toward this year's Open at
Breezy Bend.
This is only possible though the good support
of our advertisers . Without this support, it WOUldn't
be possible to produce this publication and it might
be necessary to cut down the prize money offered
for the Manitoba Open tournament.
For that reason, we ask the golfers of the province to support the companies which have their
advertisements between these covers . They're
helping Manitoba golf and we hope Manitoba
golfers show their appreciation . It wouldn't hurt to
tell the advertisers you saw their message in the
Manitoba Golf Annual.
By the w ay, if you know of a potential advertiser
who might like to get a message to the thousands
of golfers of Manitoba, tell them about the Manitoba Golf Annual, or let the office know so a
representative can make contact for next year.
To end on a personal note, this has been the
seco nd year that AI Macatavish as general chairman, Rudy Boivin as advertising director and Ralph
Bagley as editoria l director have been In charge of
the Manitoba Golf Annu al. Over the two years, we
have received invaluable assistance from many
sources. We can't begin to list names here, but
we'd like to express our thanks and appreciation to
everyone who has helped in the production of the
two issues.
•
W e're off to a good start and we hope this
publication will continue to grow and be of value to
the golfers of Manitoba in the years to come.

Don't overlook Collins, King of the Club pros
Reflections of Manitoba's 1980 golf seeson will no
doubt dazzle the readers with the success story of Dan
Halldorson on the United States Professional Golfars
Association tour, young Marc Chamberland's e.ploits
nationally and internationally in junior competition, Terry
Hashimoto's second selection as golfer of the year, or
Craig Dearden's gritty playoff triumph In the amateur.
All well and good, but an accomplishment easy to
overlook (and that's the way he likes it) Is Jimmy Collins
being crowned king of the club pros one hot Friday afternoon last July at Nlakwa .
Or, it could be mentioned that Sandy Paterson, the
Breezy Bend professionel and now the wintertime GolfO-Tron man, shaded his peers for the Manitoba title at
Elmhurst, with the same Collins and Falcon beach's eversmiling Buddy Edwards chasing him up the final fa irway.
But here, I will deal with Collins, the gentleman shopkeeper who has spent more than half his 42 years (as of
1980) at the 51. Charles Country Club - tha last 20 of
them as head professional.
If galleryites thought club professionals can't gat It up
and down, they soon had their heads turned when Phil
Girou., the slim veteran from 51. Jean Baptlate, Que.,
snapped off a si.-under-par 66 at Nlakwa to take the flrstround lead in a field of 90 competing In the third annual
Club Pro Championships.
But lurking just off the pace was Collins with a 69.
Then, on the second day of the 64-hole test, Jimmy had
an opportunity to leapfrog to the front when the 44-yearold Glrou. struggled to a 73. Unfortunately for Collins,
however, the wheels of his gama wobbled through the
late holes and what should have been a round in the 60s
wound up as a tough 71.
But Gentleman Jim shook off the frustration. While
Glrou. worked for another 73 on tha final day, the 51.
Charles veteran mastered the holes that hed torpedoed
him the day before and fashioned a 70for a si.-under-par
210 total, in spite of three putts on tha final graan,
As it turned out, it wasn 't Girou. who Collins had to
stave off, rather Jim Jempson, a former Alberta PGA
champion from St. Albert, who finished a shot back after
trailing by two strokes standing on the last tee.
In character, Collins accepted a cheque for $4,000 and
the backslaps and handclasps with modest aplomb, but
someone at his sida Just couldn't contain himself.

Tee topics
Dallis Seck
It was Jimmy's son Glenn, the caddy, who had e.perlenced mora highs and lows over the three days than
a 13-year-old body can stand. For his dad, It had been
another week's work, but for Glenn it had been hell on
roller skates with a happy ending.
Deserving slice of glory
For me, seeing Jim Collins pack away a national
championship was indeed a pleasant e.porience. I
watched him and George Knudson, the Gold Dust Twins,
come up the pike as Juniors In the 1950s, both of them
going east to be groomed by the late Bill Hamilton.
Knudson took the playing professional's route and
reaped all the headlines, which he deserved. But Collins,
in his quiet, unassuming manner, took the club pro's
route, came back to 51. Charles to work under Lan Collatt
before hanging out his own shingle at the shop.
He pushed his natural talent, which wasn't fer off
Knudson's level when they were kids, to the background
in order to pay attention to the membership at th e
Country Club.
No heedllnes or glory for him.
But I think if I was to ask the members at 51. Charles
which of the two former proteges are they most proud of,
Jim Collins would rate away up there on a scale of one to
ten .
Junior 'ambassador'
And now, a word or two on Marc Chamberland, the
reigning Canadian junvenlle champion and a shot away
last Labor Day weekend at Red Deer, Alta .. from forcing a
playoff for the national junior title.
Here Is a young man who could ba called Manitoba's
foreign ambassador of good golf.
He's a polite and per,onable 16-year-old who made
the connection all the way from 51. Vital to storied old St.
Andrew's in Scotland last fall as a member of Canada's
World Junior team. But considering his travels, he might
be better known outside this province or even this
country for his ability with a golf stick.
Because of his many other appearances In the United
States, including two trips to San Diego for the Optimist
junior event, Chamberland has alraady taken divots out
of a modest chunk bf the Western Hemisphere.
It makes one wonder ebout his potential for the ne"
decade as he graduates from Dakota Collegiate and mulls
over a fistful of United States college scholarships
already at hand.
"I don't know yet," he savs. "I've had some pretty
good offers."
But that graduation from high school comes firsl. No
serious overtures can be made until then. And let's face
it, as a budding star who will turn 17 this summer, he's
not pressed fonime .

So you think you know the rules?
The rules of golf, like the Criminal Code, are the product of years of evolutionary changes. They are meticulously designed to be fair to all competitors and to
establish principles which can be applied not only to
routinely encountered situations on the course, but to
those unpredictable, bizarre and sometimes humorous
events which all golfers have at some time experienced
and which are the raw material for arguments and anecdotes at the 19th hole.
The rules themselves make for straight forward and
not particularly inspirational reading, but it is in the reading of the application of the rules that the game comes to
life In e way that Is endlessly fascinating. The Royal and
Ancient publishes a large book of consolidated decisions
and the judgements of the Solomons of golf might wall
provide the basis of a best seller.
Here are a few of the thousands of decisions handed
down and you may test your knowledge of the rules and
principles which lie behind them by reading the queries,
making your own decisions as If you were the referee,
and then turning to page 58 to compare your decisions
with those of the Rulas Committee :
Queries
1. At a short hole a player's ball struck the top of the
flagstlck full toss. On reaching the hole it was found that
the ball had lodged itself In the flag, which was firmly
knotted round it.
What procedure should be adopted?

2. In a women's team match a player's ball came to
rest in a trap beside a green. As the player started into the
trap to play the shot, she observed a rattlesnake on the
sand a short distance from her ball. Her opponent insisted that she must play the ball, since she was not
permitted to touch or move a loose Impediment In a
hazard. She very generously offered to stand guard with
a rake in case the snake started to attack.
Does the definition "loose impediments" which stipulates "worms and insects", Include rattlesnakes? Or
would it be better to forfeit the hole and use the wedge on
the opponent? If she had killed the snake, her opponent
might have claimed she was testing the consistency of
the sand.
3. A player playing a medal competition had th e
misfortune to lose his clubhead during the course of his
stroke, I.e. he had completed the upward portion of the
swing and was bringing down the club to complete his
stroke when the clubhead left the shaft. Contact was not
made with either the ball or the ground.
Should this be counted as a stroke, or should it be
ignored as a scoring stroke?
4. I have observed a low handicap golfer spitting on
the face of his driver just prior to hitting his drive. He did
not wipe the saliva off before hitting his drive.
In my opinion, this procedure is a violation of Rule
2.2b. Am I right?
5. A query arose in a recent competition as to
whether a certain player should be disqualified or not for
the incident as outlined below. The player'S ball lay close
to some barn doors from his drive, and as the doors were
not locked but held only by a wooden catch, he proceeded to open the doors and play through the barn,
which incidentally has an opan side opposite to the
doors.
Our local Rule reads:- "The barn In front of No. 6
green is not an obstruction, i.e. the ball must either be
played as it lies or treated according to the Rule for an
unplayable ball".
6. A player playing in a stroke competition did a short
hole in one, but as the hole was not In sight from the tee
he did not know It. After searching for the ball and not
finding It, he went back to the tee and played another,
and only discovered on holing out his second ball that he
had holed his first tee shot,.
Should his score for this hole in the stroke competition be 1 or 5?
7. In a recent tournement a competitor hit his second
shot at the 18th hole Into the Clubhouse Bar. The Clubhouse was not out of bounds, nor had it been declared an
integral part of the course. In order to help the competitor
play it out again, he was given permission to open the
window on the grounds that It was a movable (or partially
movable) obstructiOn .
Was this correct or does Decision 71/29/461 under
Rule 17-1 apply?
8. We have a problem and would appreciate your
help in resolving it. How do the Rules class wind -blown
paper, cigarette packets and the like, when they Interfere
with the play of a stroke from a hazard? Can one class an
old brick, broken bottle or dead rat as movable obstructions or loose Impediments when they are found in a
hazard?

Bob Cox stages
late rally to win
'80 Manitoba Open
Pair of local amateurs
almost steal the show
By Dallis Beck
Winnipeg Free Press
Jerry Anderson, the personable
little pro from Scarborough, Ont ..
may still be thinking of "the one that
got away" when he recalls the 1980
Manitoba Opan at Pine Ridge.
On the other hand, 41 -year-old Bob
Cox, a veteran tou r player who now
lives the easy life by operating a driving range at Surrey, B.C.. will recall
the same tournament as a launching
pad for his "second season."
Anderson, 26, was breezing along
in defence of the 515,000 tournament
title - 11 under par after 45 holes when the wheels fell off his game
(plus a bad break under the lip of a
sand trap) to make him struggle
, through the back nina in 41 strokes
for a 76. That total was seven shots
more than Cox's 69 and there went
the 53,000 first-place money and the
title he had earned at Glendale the
previous year.
Cox, meanwhile, playing in only
his fourth tournament of the season,
used a magic putter to drain a couple
of long ones for a closing round of
33-36-69 and a six-under-par 210 in
the 54-hole test. He had opened
12
ominously on the first two days with
cards of 69-72.
Anderson had been in a class by
himself, however, by shooting 68-67
for openers and only a young, blond
upstart from Barrie, ant., named Erin
Ray Fostey, had borrowed a lin Ie
thunder by almost matching a course
record with 66 the first day. Fostey
skied to a 79 In the payoff round to
finish as an also-ran.
In spite of Anderson's collapse and
Cox's perseverence, the scene
stealers on the final day were former
Willingdon Cup teammates Terry
Hashimoto and Billy Parker.
"Hash," the University of Miami
graduate and member of St. Charles,
successfully defended the Harold
Eidsvlg low amateur trophy by playing a magnificent second shot out of
the trees to the final green and sinkIng the pun for a birdie-three to post
a one-under-par 71 . That left him
with a 21 I total, just one stroke off
the pace with Anderson. Terry had
put himself Into contention with
rounds of 69-71 on the first two days.
Parker, twice-running Manitoba
Amateur champions, did even bener
on the final tour by carding a fiveunder-par 67. In fact, he held the
amateu r lead for a spell on the back
nine. But he bogeyed the 18th hole
and then, In character, he paced
approximately 100 miles in circles
waiting to see what Hashimoto
would do. Hash did it, all right, and
eclipsed Parker by two strokes for the
honors.

Elmhurst associate pro Dan Hunter

rounds of 70-71 and collected the
new Carling CuP. plus an extra $250.
Victory for Cox was especially
sweet because It was posted in his
first Canadian tour appearance since
1969. A regular In every (former)
Peter Jackson event. Bobby explained that he "just sort of lost Interest In tournament play for a few
years,"
Fostey. who was born In St. Boniface but brought up in eastern Cana- •
da. was one shot shy of the Pine
Ridge competitive cOurse record
established by Shilo's Dan Halldorson. the U.S. touring pro and twotime Manitoba Open champ. Halldorson. to his credit. put in an
appearance at least season's Open.
but It was just an appearance because he was worn down by the PGA
schedule. Yet. he shot rounds of 71 73-73 for 217 and collected cab fare .
What he did for the Manitoba Golf
Association. however. was attract the
best crowds the tournament has had
in recent years.
Also to be credited with the event's
success were the five new sponsors
who picked up the slack and brought
the tournament back to major-league
status. They were : Carling O·Keefe.
Halford Men's Clothing. Imperial
Roadways Ltd.. Pennar Foods and
Shannon Ford Sales Ltd.
The jury is still out. however. on
Randy McConaghy's thoughts on
sponsorship. His firm parked a new
car alongside the 10th tee and offered it to anyone scoring a hole-In14
one on the 196-yard. par-three test.
So Paul Kennedy. a pro from
Brampton. Ont.. stood up and posted
the fourth ace of his career in the
Kinsmen Club's Pro-am preceding
the Open. then tried to figure out
how he would drive home with one
more car than he arrived with .

MANITOBA GOLF ANNUAL 'B1

Breezy Bend provides
challenge for '81 Open
By Sandy Paterson,
Professionel, Breezy Bend Golf Club
The Breezy Bend golf course is split Into four araas of
play and here's what you might expect from tha Manitoba Open field this year:
The first four holes are relatively easy and most
players will finish these at par or better.
Holes 5 through 8 are more difficult, therefore the
scores will generally be higher.
The next four holes, 9 through 12, will give the golfers
a chance to make some birdies, or even a few aagles.
The last six holes appear to be straight forward,
however, many good rounds will be spoiled on these. If a
pleyer shoots par for three days on these last holes, I
would think he will have an excellent opportunity to win
the Manitoba Open championship.
Breezy Bend is a difficult golf course on which to score
under par under normal conditions and, If the wind blows
as it can, sub-par rounds will be virtually non-existent.
Here's the way the course should play :
1. (378 yards, par 4) - Drive to right centre of fairway. A mid to short Iron will be left for most players.
Oon't hit left off the tee.
2. (478 yards, par 5) - Driving Is the key to this hole,
which has out-of-bounds on the left and deep bush on the
right. This hole will surrender many birdies and a few
eagles as it is easily reached in two. However, there will
also be many bogeys and higher because of the tightness.
3. (364 yardl, par 4) - Drive to left centre of fairway
will leave a short Iron to the green, which Is quite difficult
to read.
4. (498 yards, par 5) - Drive to left of fairway trap will
make this green reachable in two, however, the green Is
so small and firm, holding the green Is very difficult.
There should be many birdies scored on this hole.
5. (165 yards, par 3) - The first par-three Is surrounded by trees and this makes club selection difficult
as the trees block the wind. Generally, it is a mid iron to a
large green.
6. (398 yards, par 4) - This hole normally plays as it
reads - a drive to right centre of the fairway and midiron to the green. If the wind blows from the north, there
will be a lot of fives made here, as your second shot will
require a long iron or even a wood.
7. (140 yardl, par 3) - The pond In front of the green
adds beauty and danger to this hole. There Is also wind to
contend with as well es a very difficult green. There will
be few birdies and many bogeys on this hole.
8. (413 yardl, par 4) - Driving is of the utmost importance on this, one of the most challenging holes on the
course. The golfers must drive the ball 230 yards to the
corner of the dog-leg left, keeping out of heavy bush on
both the right and left side of the fairway. The second
shot will require a long to mid iron to a relatively small
green. It Is a very difficult hole.
9. (343 yards, par 4) - Drive must be left centre of
fairway for best shot to the well-trapped green. This hole
appears to be routine, however, your second shot can be
very deceptive, even from 100 yards or less.
•
1S
"If wind
blows like it
can, sub-par
rounds will
be virtually
non-existent".
SANDY PA TERSON
10. (363 yards, par 4) - Most golfers will hit a long
iron off the tee to keep the ball in good position for this
right-hand dog-leg hole. A short Iron will be required for a
deceptive second shot as the green has a dip or valley In
the centre.
11. (500 yardl, par 5) - This extremely tight hole Is
reachable in two for the longer hitters, but a row of trees
40 yerds short of the green makes this a very difficult
shot. There will be many low scores and many high
scores on this hole, which can change your whole round
for either better or worse.
12. (368 yards, par 4) This hole has soma tree trouble
to right and left In the driving areas. A mid to short Iron
will be used to cerry the two traps in front of the green,
which can be very fast.
13. (368 yards, par 4) - There is out-of-bounds on th e
right and water on the left, as well as a trap and trees
which narrow the landing area. A mid to short iron will be
used to reach the green. The smart golfer will use an iron
on this tee.
14. (180 yards, par 3) - Club selection is very Important on this hole. The trap In front of the green hides the
position of the hole as to depth. The left side of the green
can be firm and this could cause the ball to reach the
rough at the back of the green, making par very difficult.
15. (550 yards, par 5) - A very long par-S that Is
virtually not reachable in two unless there is a tall wind.
The green is very small and quite firm . Take your five and
run .
16. (177 yards, par 3) - The final par-3 on the course
is the most difficult for two reasons. It is the longest and
also the wind generally Is in the pleyer's face . The green
is quite large, with a small dip about one-third from the
front. Players will hit anything from a mid-iron to a long
iron and possibly even a wood.
17. (368 yards, par 4) - Players must reach Ihe corner of this dog-leg left hole with their drives. There Is
bush on both slde's of the fairway, as well as a large trap
on the left side of the fa irway, right in the driving area.
From here, the golfer will hit a mid to short Iron to a
well -trapped green .
la. (461 yards, par 4) - This is one of the most diffi cult finishing holes in the province, primarily because of
its length. Golfers must hit a tee shot to a landing area 30
yards wide as there is bush on the right and a pond on the
left. He will have a wood or a long Iron to the green, but
out-of-bounds markers are only a few yards to the left of
the green, making length and accuracy Imperative on this
hole .

THE CLUB PRO:
It's a long road
to Class A status
By Dale Esopenko,
President, CPGA, Manitoba
Have you ever considered how your club pro
becomes a golf professional? Manitobans recognize the
name of Dan Halldorson and George Knudson and realize
that, because of their incredible accomplishments as
tournament players, they are known as professional
golfers.
Many club pros, however, have never been tourna ment players and, even though your club pro and the
touring pros are both professional golfers, they earn their
title in separate ways.
In the beginning, as an amateur, your club pro
deciding to make golf his career requl",d the sponsorship
of two Class A head professionals.
The decision to sponsor an aspiring pro is made if the
head professionals feel he possesses the desire, determination and an adequate standard of playing ability.
Once the two sponsorships are secured, his name Is
submitted to Dave Surtees, executive director of the
Manitoba Professional Golfers Association. The applicant
experience and a sound know ledge of all aspects of
professional responsibilities behind him, this comprahensive examination is the most important of his career.
The eHect iveness of his training will be tested and he
m ust be w ell prepared.
The examination will cover the entire renge of professional respo nsibilities he is expected to have acquired
including ru les of golf, CPGA bylaws, equipment
merchandising and fitting, employee re lations and training procedures, golf shop management, power cart
operation and maintenance, club repair, course design,

Halldorson
earns a year
of exemption
By Dallls Beck
Winnipeg Free Press
Dan Halldorson, the revitalized ex-rabbit of the
Professional Golfers Association gold trail, was truly one
of Manitoba's success stories of 1980.
The script could not have been better-penned In
Hollywood.
First and foremost, the 28-year-old belter who has
refined his distance off the tee In favor of accuracy, saved
the last toumament of the tour last fall - Pensacola - to
post his first victory.
That opened the floodgates of success.
, It ~ro,ught his 1980 official earnings to $111,553, a tidy
Item In Itself that brought him up to 36th place In the
money list and not bad for a guy who had sat his sights
on somewhere between 50th and 60th at the beginning
of the year.
But, but more importantly, it brought complete
exemption from qualifying this season, not to mention
earning him a foot in the gate at Augusta, Ga .. and such
prestigious tournaments as the Masters,
S~ as Christmas approached last winter, the good
folks In Brandon, where Halldorson, as the freckle-faced
red-headed kid, hung around the Country Club pro shop,
were preparing to welcome their boy home in style.
A Greek in perpetual motion, George Jimas, who had
believed In Dan from the start, both financially and spiritually, headed up a committee that Qlanned to make Dec.
18, 1980, one to remember for Halldorson and his petite
and pretty wife Sharon.
But there was only one slight hangup,
Befora Mayor Ken Burgess could sign the proclamation and turn over the key to the cily, he and the committee had to wait for Halldorson and Jim Nelford to
represent Caneda in the World Cup matches a considerable distance away In Bogota, Colombia,
The Brandon gang had figured to toe st their boy for
his PGA exploits and the fact that he had joined Nelford In
the Cup skirmish, but had they been ready for this?
Dan Halldorson and Jim Nelford WON the World Cupl
They did It precisely three days before Dan Halldorson
Day in Brandon, leaving Danny Boy just enough time to
fly home, change his clothes and get to the party.
,Uke his game, Halldorson's mien has also improved,
which he proved at his testimonial dinner,
In his low-key, deceptively-humorous 'Iyle, "The
Eggman" as his buddies long ego labelled him had his
capacity audience danglinll from a string with his acknowledgement speech. The freckle-faced , red-headed kid
~ho used to hang around Richard Buli's pro shop had,
Indeed, become a pro.
And if they didn't realize it at that moment, they soon
were certain.
Not as opening fanfare , but as an unheralded, postspeech gesture, Halldorson handed over a cheque for
20
DAN HALLDORSON: 8 1980 success story
$1,000 to the committee to be used for Junior golf development in Brandon ,
As the master of ceremonies Jimmy Doyle put it :
"Now that's class, . , giving something back from
whence it came."
And this "new" Dan Halldorson wa s so relaxed, he
dashed on down to Tucson, shot an opening-round 63 In
the first event of the 1981 tour and finished third to
launch himself into the 1981 schedule w ith a payday of
$20.400.
But it proved to be just a hangover from 1980.
Halldorson fell on some lean weeks, missing four cuts
in a row, and he was happy to come back to Winnipeg at
the end of February to accept the Ches McCance Memorial trophy as Manitoba'S athlete of the year for th e
second time in three years.
"I needed the rest," he told members of th e Manitoba
Sportswriters and Sportscasters who honored him, " I
must have played so well at Tucson strictly on instinct. I
didn't get much of a break after last year's tour ended,
what with th e World Cup and all, and It was starting to
show,"
Soon after, he proved his point.
Playing the w ind-blown, treacherous Sawgrass
course in the Tour Players Championship, he chased the
leaders for three days, waited out a rain delay of ono day
and hung in there to pad his bank account with another
$11,200.
He finished in the money in two succeeding events
and added roughly another $6,000 and change and
appeared to be off to a good start to protect his exemption.
Then, it waS on to one of the crown Jewels - the
Masters at Augusta National. And as If It wasn 't thrill
enough to be a rookie in one of the world 's Big Four
events, Danny's heart must have skipped an additional
beat when he found himself drawn with a living legond
playing in his 42nd Masters ... none other than Slam min'
Sammy Snead .

1980 Manitoba men 's amateur

trop/ly.
Craig Dearden wears Amateur crown
after birdie on first playoff hole
By Ed Dearden
Webster defines pressure as an act of pressing ; state
of being pressed; any constraining force; electromotive
force ; a depressing influence.
The 1980 Manitoba Amateur golf championship was a
pressure cooker all week in the heat at St. Boniface and
Rossmere before Glendale's 26-year-old Craig Dearden
emerged e playoff winner.
Dearden, a graduate of Indiana University, birdied the
par-five, 523-yard first extra hole from three-and-a-half
feet at Rossmere to outduel Terry Hashimoto of St.
Charles and Southwood junior Rob Tod in a suddendeath p layoff.
It marked the first time since the Amateur began in
1922 that Glendale was home to the Manitoba champion .
Dearden entered the final round of the four-day, 72hole tournament nursing a four-stroke lead. But a
22
troublesome putter in the middle of the back nine was his
toboggan to an eight-over-par 78 and a finishing score of
292. The slimmed-down insurance salesman had posted
earlier scores of 72-74-68.
Hashimoto, meanwhile, was already in the clubhouse
with a sizzling one-under 33-36-69. A birdie from 35 feet
on the 72nd hole was his ticket to enra holes. Terry had
opened 76-70-77.
The 18-year-old Tod closed with a 74. He birdied 17
and on the 18th had a birdie chance from 10 feet that
wou ld have won the tournamen t. Rob's previous totals
were 73-70-75. The 75 was really a 74 but Tod had signed
an incorrect scorecard. The numbers and totals were
correct on his card but his signa ture included a par five on
the eighth w hen actually he had made a birdie four. The
mistake actually cost Tod the championship.
"Chalk it up to experience," was Rob's comment after
round three.
There was no denying Dearden, however, in the overtime. On the playoff hole, he wedged tight with his third
shot. Hashimoto was trapped in two, Tod alongside in
three. Both Hashimoto and Tod blasted out Inches ovar
the green. Terry pitched back to within two feet of the cup
and was looking at a gimmee par. Tod holed out with a
double-bogey seven. Dearden canned hi. putt for victory.
"I knew it was in as soon as I hit it," said Dearden.
It was the third playoff In the last four years since the
format to medal play was esteblished In 1972.
Dearden, 1972 Manitoba Junior champ, 1980 Grey
OWl winner and Glendale champion the last three years,
came precariously close to losing the baubble on the final
day .. . even the final hole.
Standing on the tee of the par-four 18th hole, he was
one stroke up on Tod and two ahead of Hashimoto.
Following an excellent drive, the Glendale representative
dropped his approach shot Into a trap. The ball was half
burled In soft sand. He blasted hard and the ball came out
lazily, stubbornly coming to rest on the fringe rather than
tumbling down the slope toward the hole.
"If it had carried another inch It would have been
nearer the hole because they run out there," said
Dearden.
He putted off tha fringe, leaving a testy two-footer.
When Tod's birdie bid stopped two Inches short, Dearden, confronting pressure, dropped his bogey putt and
suddenly there was a three-way playoff.
"It wasn't so much that the other guys were taking a
run at me," aald Dearden, "I was letting It slip. No, I
wasn't playing conservative. I was nervous to start the
day but I was okay after that - until I bogeyed 13. Somehow, I was keyed up today - and, I didn't know why.
Down the stretch I was steering the ball Instead offollowing through. I hit a lot of bad shots. Frankly, I thought Tod
would make the putt on 18.
"You know, Billy Parker (defending champion) was
rlghl. Coming down 16 he said to me, 'the youngster.
don't feel the pressure as much . They Just stand up there
and rip II. When you're In a position to win, you rely on
your swing. I wasn't choking but I wasn't confident,
either. I was relying on my concentration. It showed In
the stretch.
"I know I scrambled a bit today but winning In a playoff Is as good as winning by five shots."
Rossmere golfers took turns sharing the headlines
with Dearden.
First, Tom Bell grabbed the first-round lead with a
one-over par 71 at wind-blown St. Boniface.
On Day Two, at Rossmere, Dave Komora came in 67,
clubmate Rob Loewen 68, and veteran Gavin Speirs of SI.
Charles 69. Tod headed the list of championship flight
qualifiers with 73-7C>-143. A score of 164 or better was
necessary to make championship flight and 33 players
from a starting field of 263 made il.
In sweltering heat the third day, Dearden, battling a
cold and hay fever, unloaded a two-under par 68 at
Rossmere to take charge. But, as the man said, "as often
as not, it's a struggle to win the Manitoba Amateur golf
championship."
Just ask Craig Dearden.
The 1981 Manitoba amateur Championship will be
played at the Niakwa and Southwood courses July 6 to 9,
followed by the extra Willingdon Cup qualifying rounds
July 11 and 12 at Elmhurst and Transcona.

The Willing don
Cup
story
•
By Ed Dearden
Paced by Amateur champion Craig
Dearden, three familiar faces comprised Manitoba's 1980 Willingdon
Cup team. The fourth wa s an unheralded threat from Wildewood.
Dearden, playing on his home
track at Glendale, parred the layout
at 72 the first round and backed it up
with a 73 the final day to finish six
shots in front of the , 5-man field.
Thus the 26-year-old graduate of Indiana University became a runaway
first winner of the Jack Swanson
Memorial Medal, struck by the Manitoba Golf Association In honor of its
late ex-president and executive
director.
Dearden's 437 total was made up
of the four rounds in the Amateur
championships at St. Bonifate and
Rossmere and two weekend tours of
Glendale.
The surprise second-place finisher
was Ron Lancaster of Wildewood,
formerly of the Canoe Club. Lancaster's rookie Willingdon Cup appear-
26
ance was manufactured after a 443
finish.
Deadlocked at 445 were Jumbo
Jim Doyle of Sandy Hook-St. Boniface , who closed with 69, and Terry
Hashimoto of St. Charles, who came
in with a final 77 .
For Dearden and Hashimoto it was
team appearance No. 3. For Doyle, it
was his 10th.
Dearden, the long-hitting Glendale
club champion, started the trial.
dead even with Hashimoto and
Southwood junior Rob Tod. The
latter faded quickly, however, with
rounds of 82-77 for 451 .
"I'm pleased to be the fir.t winn er
of the Jack Swanson Memorial
Medal," commented Dearden. "After
nine today (final round) I didn't think
I'd blow it like I did the last day of the
Amateur. No, I didn't have any
thoughts about the four-shot lead
(the same as he had playing the final
round of the Am ateur). I felt okay and
I was glad it was windy. I didn't think
anybody would get it under par
today and Jumbo's (Jim Doyle) 69 is
a helluva score. Apart from my sag
from 11 through 15 the last round of
the Amateur I wa s steady all w eek.
No double-bogeys, only one threeputt and I putted w ell every day."
" This is th e first time I've really
been in the running," said a jubilant
Lancaster.
Doyle, 47, admitted, "I played badly until today," wh en he uncorked his
three-under 69.
Hashimoto was another who
wasn't happy with his week's play
save for his 69 the last round of the
'A mateur.
Non-playing captain at Halifax was
incoming Manitoba Golf Association
president Don Nutley of Bel Acres.
The new, demanding Ashburn
course took its toll on Manitoba'.
entry. A score of 472 left Manitoba in
seventh place. Only Doyle and Hashimoto made the 36-hole cut. Terry
finish ed 10th over-all, Bill Parker 11th
and Doyle well back.

Chomyn upholds
Elmhurst tradition
in Blair event
For the fifth time In the seven-year
history of the event, a golfer from
Elmhurst Golf and Country Club captured the honors as the Jack Blair
Memorial Match Play Tournament
for 19BO was completad at the Pine
Ridge Golf Club.
Ken Chomyn of Elmhurst scored a
narrow one-up victory over Bob
Dunbar of St. Charles Country In the
final of event, which featured a
36-hole qualifying test over the
Charleswood
and
Wlldewood
courses before the low 16 players
moved Into match play at the Ridge.
Dunbar and Southwood's Don
Medcalf shared the qualifying honors
In the 1980 competition with 36-hole
totals of 147, followed by Elmhurst's '
Billy Parker and Carl Lechman of
Rossmere, both with 149. It took a
score of 160 or better to quelify.
Rounding out the qualifying fie ld
were: Gary Goodbrandson of Southwood, Tim Blanchard of Alberta,
Bing Shearer of Bel Acres, Rob
Loewen of Rossmere, Ron Lancaster
of Wildewood, Don McNeill of Niakwa, Ernie Ewasko, Lorne Jamison
and Chomyn of Elmhurst, and Irv
Averbach, Dave Walch and Ron
Solomon, all of Glendale.
The semi-final round of match play
saw Dunbar defeat Parker and
Chomyn win over McNeill to set the
stege of the final matCh, In which
Chomyn came from behind. Two
down after nine holes, he tied the
match on the 17th and won on the
18th at Pine Ridge.
Chomyn's victory retained the Jack
Blair Memorial Trophy for Elmhurst,
which was also the home club for
Gary Kullman w hen he won In 1979;
for David Kruclk, the 1977 w inner; for
Jim Doyl e, who w on in 1975; and for
Jim King, the first winner in 1974.
Kullman had also won In 1978 playing out of Rossmere and the winner of
the 1976 tournament, was Don
McNeill of Niakwa .
The event is held in memory of Jack
Blair, a St. Charles member who was
a past president of both the Manitoba
Golf Associati on and the Royal
Canadian Golf Association. He had
been a strong proponent of the
match-play game for amateur golfers
and the event is the only major competition for match play for top golfers
since the provincial amateur championship switched to medal play from
match play in 1972.
Other than the championship
group, all other fligh ts In the ManItoba Amateur remain on a matchplay basis.
After being held in the fall at St.
Charles in the first couple of seasons,
the Jack Blair event was added to the
Manitoba Golf Association calendar
in 1976 as an early-season competition, with the venue moving to other
golf courses.
KEN CHOMYN
. .. fifth winner from Elmhurst
A couple of changes will be made
in the format for the Jack Blair event
this season in an effort to boost the
interest among the province's leading golfers. For 1981, the qualifying
rounds will be played June 6 at St.
Boniface and June 7 at Wildewood,
with the match play scheduled for
Breezy Bend.
Instead of playing four consecu tive days of match play, the qualifiers
will play on two successive Wednesdays and Thu rsdays, June 10-11 and
17-18. This move will keep the event
away from weekends and avoid conflict with such events as the Gray Owl
and Golden Falcon tournam ents.
The 1981 reception for the qualifyIng golfers will be held Immediately
following the first matches, June 10,
when ell 16 qualifiers will be on hand
to receive momentoes of the event.
The handicap limit for the Jack
'Blair Memorial event has been reduced to six.

Terry Hashimoto hailed
as 1980 Golfer of the Year.
By Dallis Beck
Winnipeg Free Press
It was Rudyard Kipling who wrote :
"It matters not If you win or lose. it's
how you played the game."
On that theme, golfers can take
note of 22·year-old Terry Hashimoto's per formance last season.
" Hash, " claimed only one victory
in 1980 - a commercial one at that
- the Goldan Falcon, but the rest of
the field knew he was there, whereever he teed it up.
Which all boiled down to the fact
that he won the Labatt's golfer·ofthe-year award for the second time in
the presentation's six-year history.
A member of St. Charles Country
Club and a business administration
and finance graduate of the Unlver30
sity of Miami, he earned the honor
ahead of three other finalists - Marc
Chamberland of Pine Ridge, Craig
Dearden of Glendale, Jo-ann Lindsay
of Minneapolis and Falcon Lake.
Terry tied Dearden and Southwood's Rob Tod in the 72-hole bid for
the Manitoba Amateur title, then
bowed out in a one-hola playoff.
He went on to become a member
of the Willingdon Cup team and low
Manitoban (tied for 10th) in the
Canadian Amateur in Halifax. Then,
he retained low amateur honors in
the Manitoba Open. in fact, he
missed tying the champion, professional Bob Cox of Vancouver, by one
shot. He followed that by being
second-low amateur In the Saskatchewan Open.
Hashimoto, who plays out of SI.
Charles, also made his mark internationally as second-low amateur in the
Panama Open and survived the cut in
the United States Professional
Golfers Association tour event. the
Inverarry Classic In Florida.
Dearden, champion for three
straight seasons at his club, started
the season by winning the Grey Owl
championship at Clear Lake. He be. came the first winner of the Jack
Swanson Mamorial medal aftar winning the Amateur title and subsequently topping the Willingdon Cup
trial scoring.
Chamberland, 16, capped his season by winning the Canadian juvenile championship at Red Deer, Alta..
and battling down to the final hole
for over-all junior honors. Although
he did not compete in the Manitoba
junior championship because he was

Pro-Am honors
Bill Thomson's
50 years in golf
By B.rrle McWh.,
Professional, Southwood G & C C
In these days of early retirement and changing
careers, it Is a notable exception when someone spends
50 yeers In the same profession .
Such was the case at Southwood Golf and Country
Club in 1976 when Bill Thomson announced his retirement after 20 yeers as head professional at the south
Winnipeg club. It also marked Bill's 50th year as a golf
professional and, to honor that aChievement, a Pro-em
event wes inaugurated In his name.
Bill Thomson's career In golf began In Scotland back
in 1925 at Elle Golf Club, near St. Andrews. In those days,
being 8 golf professional meant being a club maker first.
There began the training that produced skills that only a
few possess today.
In 1929, Bill moved down to Fornby Golf Club, near
Royal Blrkdale, as a club maker, and In 1931 he graduated
to the position of assistant professional at Beaconsfield
Golf Club In London, England.
By 1934, he had become the h4ad professional at
Grange Park Golf Club in Liverpool, a position he heid
until the Second World War broke out.
Following the war, having served in the Royal Air
Force, Bill moved to Canada and from 1951 to 1955 he
was the professional at the Port Arthur Golf Club in
Thunder Bay, Ont.
Bill Thomson was named the head profeSSional at
Southwood Golf and Country Club in 1956 and there he
remained until his retirement in 1975.
The Bill Thomson Pro-Am Golf Tournament was
started to honor Bill's service to the club and to the game.
It has become one of the most popular events on the local
scene, drawing 34 teams together annually.
Thet first tournament saw many of Bill's professional
friends take part. AI Balding from Toronto, Les Bevan and
Len Harvey from Saskatchewan and Arnold McLean from
Montreal were in attendance, along with the many professionals from Manitoba.
A life membership in the Cenadian Professional
Golfers' Association was presented to Bill on that occasion by Arnold Mclean, the CPGA president.
The 1975 event was won by the team headed by AI
Patterson, professional at John Blumberg Goif Course,
with his partnars, Bud Foster, Bill Nairn and Gene Gogal.
Each member of the winning team received beeutiful
custom -made crested blazers. These were only for
presentation that first yeer and haven't been awarded
since.

BILL THOMSON; 's wond8rful goll professional'
The low professional in 1975 was Stan Homenuik
from the Dauphin Golf Club, who received $400 for thet
achievement.
Golf in Manitoba has been blessed with wonderful
support over the years from the corporete sector of the
community. The Bill Thomson Pro-Am is no exception as
Radio Station CJOB threw its financial support behind the
event and helped to make it even better.
With the help of 'OB and the station's key people, the
prize purse was able to grow and competitors were
treated to a tournamant that has the polish of a tour
event. Each year, the CJOB Shut-In Fund benefits from
the putting and pitching contests held in conjunction with
the tournament.

Weather can't keep Critchley
from his sixth Senior golf crown
The weatherman showed no respect for Manitoba's
sen ior golfers when the provincial senior golf champion ship for 1980 was on the line Aug. 13 to 15 at Southwood
Golf and Country Club.
A severe thunderstorm struck the course on the
opening day, flooding many of the greens and causing
the first round to be washed out. This meant Ihe championship end age flighls were all decided over only 36
holes inslead of the usual 54-hole route.
But even the weatherman comldn't SlOp Harry
HARRY CRITCHLEY: lill. No. 6.
34
Critchley of Southwood from capturing his sixth ManItoba senior golf title as he toured his home layout In
rounds of 71 and 78 for a 14910tal.
It gave him a one-stroke edge over runner-up and
former two-time senior winner Bill Pidlaskl of Elmhurst,
who was steady with a pair of 76s for his 150 lotal.
Enlry in the 1980 seniors tournament was limited to
180 golfers because of the dining capacity at Southwood,
which meant nearly 50 hopefuls had to be turned down,
so there's certainly no lack of Interest among the over-55
golfers.
The 1981 Manlloba Senior Golf Championship Is
scheduled for July 22 to 24 at Glendale Country Club,
with a good entry expected.
In the various age groups, Elmhurst golfers came
through to win five of the eight prizes.
In the 55-59 category, Max Desaulnler of Elmhursl
took the low gross honors with a 3S-hole total of 151 ,
while the low net prize sent to Gestor Krisjansson of St.
Charles wilh 157-22- 135.
Pidlaski's 150 total was good for the gross honors In
the SO-64 group, with fellow Elmhurst golfer John 8eker
claiming the net prize with 162-2&-134.
Bill Pinninger of Elmhurst, another former champ,
claimed Ihe gross honors in the 65-69 division with 156,
while Elmhurst's Flod Cooper was the net winner with
166-30-136.
In the 70 and over category, Southwood's ageless
Alan Boes won the gross prize with 168, while Assinlboine's Jack Hillhouse, who also shot 168, used his 28
handicap for e low net totel of 140.
Elmhurst wa s egain to the fore In the team event as
the foursome of Pldlaskl, Pinnlger, 8ud Foster and Cass
Tobin combined for a team lotal of 465 (best three scores
each day). This was 10 stroke. ahead of runner-up St.
Charles, which hed Fred Otto, Jim Isaac and Bill McWilliams posting a 475 total.
Pidlaski leads the way
for provincial senior team
Seventeen golfers were in the
chase over three separate golf
courses and competition was keen in
trials for the 1980 Manitoba Senior
Golf Team.
For the four winners, it meant a trip
to Saskatoon to compete In the Canadian Senior and team championships
over the Riverside Country Club and
Saskatoon Golf and Country Club
courses.
Playing June 9 to 11 over the SI.
Charles, Niakwa and 8reezy Bend
layouts, Elmhurst's Bill Pldlaskl
emerged as the team leader with
rounds of 78, 76 and 73 for a 54-hole
score of 227.
That was two strokes better than
Southwood's Harry Critchley, who
scored 75, 78 end 76 for his 229. Jim
Isaac of SI. Charles shot 76, 75 and 79
for 230 and Barrie Sanders of Cerman scored 76, 78 and 77 for 231 to
round out the four-man team .
At Saskatoon, the Manitoba team
finished in a tie with British Columbia
for fourth place. Pldlaskl again led
with 82 and 76 for 158, whil e Isaac
had 78 and 81 for 159, Critchley had
85 and 76 for 151 and Sanders shot
80 and 82 for 162.
A few changes will be made when
the 1981 provincial senior trials are
played June 3 to 6 at Rossmere, Bel
Acres and Breezy Bend. The senior
champion from last year will automatically qualify for the team; the
handicap limit for competitors who
don't qualify through the senior
championships will be raised to
eight; and the qualifying date for
those becoming eligible will be the
same as the qualifying date for the
Canadian senior championship.

First winners of the new father· son event, Jay and Irv Averbach of GlendalB, rBcelvB trophy from Hug/) Lstlmer, North American Life's
Winnipeg m8nager.
Glendale's Averbachs win
First Father-Son tournament
The 1980 Manitoba golf season
saw the birth of a new provincial
competition and the initial response
was far greater than the expectations
of the organizers and sponsors.
North American Life Assurance Co.
provided the sponsorship and the
Manitoba Golf Association conducted the first Manitoba father-son
competition In August at Glendale
Country Club and they were surprised when a total of 78 teams entered the event.
The sponsors have provided parent-child competitions in the east for
several years. but this was the first
venture into Manitoba and officials
elected to start with father-son com binations only.
It Is planned to broaden the scope
for 1981 by also taking motherdaughter teams into the event and
future plans call for full parent-child
participation .
36
Officials also stress the event Isn't
restricted to those with junior-age
children, but is open to any fatherson combination with no upper or
lower age limits.
Irv Averbach and his 21 -year-old
son Jay were declared the 1980
father-son champions, but the Glendale pair needed a playoff to win the
title after finishing In a tie with Bob
Cornell and his IS-year-old son Don
from Brandon with gross scores of
157.
Irv Averbach shot 76 and Jay had
81, while the Cornell team featured a
79 by father Bob and 78 by Don. On
the first playoff hole, Irv Averbach
won the match with a par four.
Jim Doyle (75) and son Pat (83)
from Sandy Hook and Rudy Schulz
(80) and son Randy (78) from Pine
Ridge shared third place with 158
totals.
In the net competition, Gene Gogal
and son Mike, 27, each turned In net
70 scores for a 140 total to claim top
prize. Gene had 83, less handicap of
13, and Mike shot, 90, less handicap
of 20.
Elmhurst's Harry Furber and 14year-old son Darcy were next w ith
141 . Harry had 91 -19-72, while
Darcy had 81 -12- 69. Tied for third
were Len and Don Harvey of Bel
Acres and Fleurien and Doug Lizotte,
t>oth with 144 net totals.
One further change planned for the
1981 competition will see the tournament's major honors going to the
low net team, but with prizes for both
net and gross scores.
Officials anticipate a growth In the
popularity of this tournament . The
1981 event. with fathe r-son and
mother-daughter teams taking part,
is scheduled for Aug. 25 at St. Boniface Golf Club.

Tournament In 48th year
Wasagaming 's
Tamarack event
has colorful history
BRUCE NORTH, Carman
. , . the defending champ
When close to 400 golfers of both sexes and virtuall y
all ages gather In August for the 1981 Tamarack Golf
Tournament, It will mark the 48th year for an annual
tournament sponsored by the Wasagaming Golf Club at
the picturesque Riding Mountain National Park course.
As it has for tha past few years, the Tamarack In '81
will feature a family atmosphere, with competition for
boys and girls from age seven right up to senior men and
women aged 60 and over.
It wasn 't always that way. The annual Clear Lake tourna ment originally had competition for men and women
when It was first played in the fall of 1934. A junior
section for boys and girls was added in 1956, then a com petition for cubs was started in 1964. Last year, a separate event for senior men joined the list and this year,
there will also be a senior women's event.
But, while the format has undergone these changes,
one aspect of the annual tournament week has remained
over the years - the popularity of the event. For many
years, the annual Wasagaming tournament has enjoyed
not only a full entry, but event a waiting list of golfers
hoping to get in on the fun .
The name Tamarack is a fairly recent addition. For
38
years it was known among the golfers as the Clear Lake
Golf Week, but officials switched it to the Tamarack Golf
Tournament "six or seven years ago - parhaps 10" (they
COUldn't remember the exact date).
Throughout the history of the tournament, the two
major trophies have remained constant. For the men, It I.
the T. G. Murphy Trophy, donated by tha Hon. T. G.
Murphy, who was then the minister of the interior. The
women compete for the Buffalo Trophy, donated by then
Superintendent of Parks James Smart.
Some of the province's leading golfers have competed in the Wasagaming tournament since 1934 and
many of them have had their names engraved on the
trophies.
But, that's not the major appeal of the tournament.
The fact that golfers of all classes can compete for prizes
in many flights makes the event anractive to the high
handicapper as well as the championship calibre golfers.
The first annual Wasagaming tournamant was held
on the weekend of Sept. 6, 7 and 8, 1934, Just a week after
the course was expanded to 18 holes from nine. It fea (Continued on page 42)

Rural golf activities
on the upswing in 1980
The 1980 golf season proved to be a banner year for
rural activities for the Manitoba Golf Association and
those in charge are hoping 1981 w ill see a continued
growth in the interest In the special events provided for
golfers from outside the city of Winnipeg .
Bill Dunford, vice-president In charge of rura l activities last season, will continue to look after the rural scene
during his term as first vice-president of the MGA this
year.
He expressed gratification at the increased participation by rural golfers in the 1980 ev~nts which helped to
make It the most successful season in his many years of
experience at the helm of rural activities.
The Manitoba rural amateur championship, with a
brand new seniors competition added for the first time,
typified the success of the rural events for 1980 when a
total of 142 golfers took part - 128 In the amateur event
and 14 in the senior tournament. The actual entry Included 138 In the amateur, but there were 10 no-shows.
The goal for 1981 is to increase the field to 140 In the
amateur and 40 In the senior for a total antry of 180,
considered the maximum number which can be handled
to still allow the course time for green fee play.
For the fourth straight year, the tournament was held
at the Hecla Island Golf Club on Aug. 10 and 11, a
Sunday-Monday schedule.
The 142 participants represented an increase of more
than 50 per cent over the 93 golfers who took part In the
1979 event. That, in turn, was nearly 50 per cent better
than the 1978 entry.
A similar Increase was shown in participation in the
Manitoba Rural Inter-Club Team Championship July 6 at
the Shilo Golf and Country Club, which attracted 16
teams. There were only 10 teams at the 1979 event at
Carman.
For the Manitoba Sugar Bowl event (four-man teams,
handicap competition), the increase was 100 per cent,
with 12 teams lined up for play Sept. 13 atthe Selkirk Golf
48
Club, compared w ith only six the previous year at
Thompson.
A notable item in connection with the 19S0 season
was that all rural tournaments were played on IS-hole
golf courses for the first time. It Is hoped this practice will
be continued, if possible.
In fact, Dunford Is hoping to astablish permanent siles
for both the rural inter-club and Sugar Bowl events, possibly at Shilo and Selkirk (the 1980 sites). With the rural
amat eur settled In at Hecla Island, It would give all three
major rural activities a permanent location.
Looking upon this year as probably his final one as the
head man on the rural scene, Dunford Is also looking into
some changes in the rural region setup because some of
the present regions are too large for convenient representation.
He noted that the Manitoba Golf Association used to
have on ly eight rural representatives on the council, but
there are now 15. There are seven regions - six In
M anitoba and one in Northwestern Ontario - and each
region has two representatives on the council, along with
the rural chairman.
If the proposed revamping of regions is completed
this year, it could lead to an increase in the number of
regions and also might mean an Increase in the rural
representation on the MGA council .
Another feature of the rural saason was the presentation of five very successful golf clinics during the summer. They were held at Minnedosa, Virden, Manitou,
Gilbert Plains and Swan River. There was also a rules
clinic for junior boys and girls at Clear Lake.
Under the direction of Harry Brotchie, assistant professional at the John Blumberg Golf Course, and Danny
Hunter, assistant at Elmhurst Golf and Country Club, the
clinics proved very popular and the rural activities com-
mittee hopes to continue these events this season and in
the future.
Details on th e various rural avents follow.
Carman's Bruce North captures
1980 Rural Amateur golf crown
By Ralph Bagley
If the popularity of the Manitoba
Rural Amateur and Senior Golf
Championships continues to grow,
the day may not be far off when officials will have to establish methods
of limiting the entry.
Blessed with good weather and a
strong field of 142 competitors, the
1980 edition of the tournament
proved an outstanding success
August 10 and 11 at the provincial
government's beautiful Hecle Island
Golf Course.
Most of the 1980 entrants are
expected to return for the 1981 event
- scheduled at the same location
Aug. 9 and 10 - end many of them
probably have spread the word
among their friends about the good
time they had lest year.
Goal is 180 golfer.
Rural chairman Bill Dunford and
his hard-working committee presented a well -run operation for the 1980
and have set e goal of 180 golfers for
1981, made up of 140 amateurs and
40 seniors, which would be the limit
for the facilities.
My advice to those who meet the
qualification would be to get entries
in as soon as possible, because there
just might be a larger number than
that wanting to get Into the action.
Carman's Bruce North fired a nifty
one-over-par 73 in the second round
to go with a first-round 78 for a 151
total and a two-stroke victory over
Ray Hurd of Killarney for the 1980
rural amateur title.
Hurd had scored 75 In the first
round, but needed 78 strokes in his
final tour for a total of 153. Naxt in
line in the championship group were
Mike Kehler of Oakvlew with 77-77164 and Robin Green of Boissevain
with 77-79-156.
Sanders tops seniors
In the new rural seniors event,
another Carman golfer, Barrie Sanders, wa s a runaway w inner with
rounds of 83 and 78 for a 161 total.
Wilf Holmberg of Thompson
claimed the senior honors In the 5559 age group with 87-64-161. In the
62-and-over category, Stephen Popowich of Northernalre led the way
with 88-93- I 81 , followed by Swede

trophy a/so goes to Carman
It was gelling late in the season
(Sept. 13), but Carman again led the
way as 12 teams from rural Manitoba
clubs participated in the annual Manitoba Sugar Bowl competition at the
Selkirk Golf Club.
The Sugar Bowl event is a handicap tournament for four-man teams
from the rural clubs. The 12-team
entry was double the disappOinting
number which took part in the 1979
event at Thompson. With the possibility of Selkirk becoming a permanent site for the tournament, officials
hope to see greater participation in
the future.
Jim McKenzie paced the Carman
team with a 77 and he wes aided by
Carl Wiebe with 80, Joe Kachor and
Merv Robinson, both with 95, for a
gross score of 347. Subtracting threequarters of the team handicap, 45,
left the Carman team with a winning
net score of 302.

the runner-up position, though the
northern team's gross score of 346
was one beller than Carman.
Dave Turpie was the Thompson
leader with 82, followed by Bob
Thompson with 85, Dale Demarco
with 87 and Wayne McLlllan with 92.
The team handicap worked out to 35,
leaving a net score of 311 .
Story is the same
in rural inter-club event
Golfers from Carman continued to
dominate the scene as the 1980
Manitoba Rural Inter-Club Team
Championship was played July 6 at
the Shilo Golf & Country Club.
With an entry of 15 teams, up from
only 10 the previous year, rural officials are looking into the possibility
of making Shilo a permanent home
for the rural inter-club event.
Bill North paced the Carman team
with a 73, the low individual score of
the day. He was aided by Bruce
North, with 76, and Barrie Sanders,
with 81, for a team total of 230.
This was an II -stroke edge over
the runner-up team of James Koop
(74), Petor Rempel (83) and Wllf
Peters (84) who had 241 for Selkirk.

Bel Acres team takes honors
in Crown Life Pro-Am event
Professional John Isaac had a good payday at Niakwa
Country Club in August as he led his Bel Acres team to
top honors and also shared low Individual prize money in
the 1980 Crown Life Pro-Am club team competition .
Isaac carded a two·under·par 70 to tie Tuxedo's
Sandy Kurcebe for the low individual honors and he got
fine support from his three amateur club members to
earn 150 points under the Phoenix scoring system, two
better than AI Patterson and his team from the John
Blumberg municipal course.
Supporting Isaac in the team competition were Mike
Holland, a six-handicapper, who shot 83; Nick Rostosky,
a 16-handicapper, who shot 89; and Ed Johns, a 24-han·
dicapper, who shot a fine 88.
Blumberg's runner-up team included Rick Philpott, AI
Hunter and AI Ediger along with Patterson. Next In line,
both with 149 points, were Pinawa's team of Ron Bileski
(pro), Ian Kirk, Dennis Smith and Rick Elcock; and Assini bolne's team of Dale Esopenko (pro), Murray Brown, AI
Hunter and Jim McRitchie.
Elmhurst and Rossmere teams were next with 148
and other prizes went to teams from Tuxedo. Thompson.
St. Charles and Pine Falls.
52
The Bel Acres team also won the right to represent
Manitoba in the interprovincial Crown Life's competition
in September at Edmonton, but couldn't match the feat of
the 1979 team from Dauphin, which captured the first
interprovincial crown at the Niakwa course, when only
the four western provinces partiCipated.
The 1980 event saw the addition of a team from
Ontario and that foursome captured the honors with 277
points over the 36·hole route. Manitoba finished second
with 272 points.
This year's provincial Crown Life championship is
scheduled for St. Charles Country Club, with the interprovincial competition going to Vancouver.
In addition to providing an event taking in golfers of
all levels (handicaps of 0 to 25), the Crown Life competi tion also raises funds for two worthy causes - the
Society for Crippled Children and Adults and the provincial junior golf development program.
The 1980 event saw $4,740 turned over to the Society
(60 per cent of the fees collected) and $3,260 (40 per cent)
going to the junior golf program .
Across Canada, the 1980 event featured a total of
10,820 golfers from 174 golf clubs starting at the club
level. Officials expect even more in 1981 .

Quinton'S
Following are the decisions reported by the rules committee of the Royal
and Ancient for the situations described on page 10.
1. A flagstick is an obstruction
(Def. 20) and Rule 31 .1 applies. The
ball may be placed on the putting
green as near as possible to the spot
directly beneath the fold of the flag In
which it lay; however. it may not be
placed in the hole. as Rule 1 provides
that the ball must be played into the
hole by strokes.
2. It Is not reasonable to expect a
player to play from such a dangerous
situation. and the Rules do not so
intend. In equily (Rule 11-4). the
player should have been allowed to
place a ball In the hazard. or in a similar nearby hazard. In a situation she
did not regard as dangerous. as near
as possible to the spot where the ball
lay and in a lie similar to that which it
originally occupied. The same procedure would be permisSible had the
ball lain through the green. Attention
is called to Rule 32.1 giving relief
from a hole. cast or runway made by
a reptile. A snake Is not a loose Impediment within the meaning of Defin ition 17. It Is an outside agency
• under Definition 22.
3. The stroke counts. The Intention
to strike at and move the ball i. admitted. (See Def. 31).
4. Yes. Rule 2-2b provides in part :
"foreign material shall not be added
to the club face at any time." Saliva Is
considered "foreign material".
5. The player was in breach of
Rule 17-1 for Improving his line of
play by moving something fixed I....
the closed doors of the barn. In
match play. he lost the hole. In stroke
play. he suffered a two stroke penally. If the doors had been open.
there would have been no objection
to his playing through the barn.
6. The score made with the fi"'t
bell counts. In the circumstances
quoted it Is not considered that the
player shou ld be penalized under
Rule 29.1 (Lost Ball).
68
7. The Clubhouse was an immovable obstruction. and the player
could have taken relief under Rule
31 -2b(l) by dropping the ball outside
the Clubhouse. His procedure would
be to find the point nearest to where
the ball lay outside the Clubhouse (a)
was not nearer the hole than the
bali's original position. (b) avoided
interference by the Clubhouse. and
(c) wa s not In a hazard or on a putting
green. He would then drop within
one club-length of that point on
ground which also fulfilled (a). (b)
and (c) above. Since the ball originally lay inside the Clubhouse. the
prohibition against cros.lng through
the obstruction to find the nearest
point outside it would not apply (see
Note to Rule 31 -2b(l)). By opening a
window In the Clubhouse (obstruction). the competitor should have
been penalized two strokes for improving his line of play In breach of
Rule 17.1. Decision 71/29/461 does
not strictly apply in this Instance as In
that case. the building (barn) was not
an obstruction but was an Integral
part of the course; but the concept Is
the same. In the present case. it Is
considered that everything attached
to the Immovable obstruction (Clubhouse) must Itself be held to be Immovable and. under Rule 31 -1. a
movable obstruction Is something
that may be removed (not moved).
i.e. something which can be picked

Map shows layout of nsw nino-hole municip81 course which skirts man-made Iske In North East Regional Park.
New municipal golf course
to be opened this summer
By Ralph Bagley
Winnipeg golfers will have a new nine-hole municipal
golf course to play on this year, and the unique layout is
expected to attract a lot of attantlon.
The course Is located In the North' East Regional Park
which has been developing since 1977 on Springfield
Road off lagimodiere Boulevard (or Highway 59) on tha
northeast side of the city.
The park Itself covers an area of 410 acres and I. being
developed as a joint venture for the purpo.e of sanitary
landfill and water retention for the area. When the development is completed, the golf course will be only a small
part of the over-all picture.
Also Included will be a golf driving ranga, eight tennis
courts, two lawn bowling green., outdoor gym equipment, a miniature golf course, shuffleboard courts. jogging and fitness trolls, children's play area and fishing,
canoeing and paddle boats on the retention lakes. In
winter, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and toboggan
slides will be included.
But, the golf course Is the major interest for readers of
this publication, so let's get back to that part of the development.
Utilizing the excavated material from the 47 acres of
lake development, Bob Parkin, the golf course architect,
designed the unique leyout to take full advantage of the
lake system. Three of the nine holes play directly over
water, while the lake also comes Into play with errant
shot. on at least two other holes.
There is also a wide variety of terrain, created with the
excavated material. Before the course was built. there
was a mere six-Inch change in elevation over the entire
62
park site. After construction. the golf COur.e has a 28-foot
change In elevation.
Raised tees and greons are featured. as well a. rolling
knoll. which will provide golfers with uphill, downhill and
sidehill lies. In addition, several sand traps are strategically located around the course, a feature not all that
common on public layouts.
The course was built In 1978 and has been growing.
developing and maturing fo, the past two seasons.
Construction has also started on tha first .tages of the
clubhouse/recreation complex, with completion expected In mid-June of this year.
The course will be opened to th e public this summer.
probably In July.
The nine-hole layout will play to a par of 27. Each of
the holes will be par three, ranging In length from 84 to
195 metres (that's about 92 to 210 yards If you're like me
and haven't yet learned to figure your shots in metres).
Most of the holes have two tees, one listed as cham pionship and other as men's, and there's also a third tee
(listed a. ladles) on the ninth hole. for those who don't
wish to attempt the over-water tee shot on the 128-metra
hole.
In addition to providing the material for the rolling
terrain and serving as a water hazard for the course. the
lake system will also provide the irrigation and drainage.
with a fully-automatic sprinkler system pumping directly
from the lake.
I had the pleasure of a preview tour of the course last
fall , along with municipal course supervisor Rick Thain.
former MGA president Bud Foster and CBC radio sports
director Bob Picken.
It was a cool, windy day and we didn't have all of our
clubs with us, but we played from all the tees to get an
idea of how the course will play. There were no sand
traps when we made the trip, and that will make things a
IInle tougher.
The four of us found the layout to be quite challenging
and the rolling terrain made for some Interesting shots.
Depending on the wind direction, there will be a need for
a wood of a couple of tees for most golfers. A couple of
holes will require accuracy or your ball could roll down
into the lake. And, of course, the three holes playing
directly over water will require sufficient loft and length
off the tee to avoid penalty strokes. '
All in all, It should be a fun course to play, as well as a
place to sharpen up the short game for those belonging
to private clubs. It will be a IInla mOre challenging than
the city's other par-three layout, Crescent Drive.
There was no official name for the new course as this
was wrinen, but it is identified for now as the North East
Regional Park course.
It becomes the fifth golf course operated by the city of
Winnipeg . In addition to this one and Crescent Drive
(nine-holers), the city has 18-hole Klldonan Park and
Windsor Park layouts and the 27-hole John Blumberg
course.

IDEAS FOR YOUR SHORT GAME
By Ron Janes,
TIPS
from the
PROS
Here are some helpful hints to
Improve your golf, provided by members of the Canadian Professional
Golfers' Associations, Manitoba
branch
THE ADDRESS POSITION
By Harry Brotchie,
Assistant Professional,
Winnipeg Municipal Courses
The initial address position is extremely imponant.
Develop a routine that you will follow every time you
address the ball and consider the following points:
1. Stance should be about shoulder width.
2. Ball positioned just inside front heel.
3. Weight evenly distributed in a comfonable position.
Weight on the balls of the feet.
4. Knees flexed.
5. A relatively straight line is formed by the club shaft
and the front arm. An invened triangle is formed by
your arms and shoulders. The arms are extended
straight, but not locked so tightly as to create tension .
6. Make sure you are aligned properly. The clubface
should be facing the target. A line across your toes
should run parallel to a line from the target to the ball.
similar to a railroad track.
PICK YOUR SPOT
By Dale Esopenko,
Professional,
Assiniboine Golf Club
To eliminate any second-guessing involved in sand
trap shots, long putts or blind shots over hills or trees,
pick another obvious natural target to aim for. For
example, instead of guessing where your club should hit
behind a ball for a sand shot, pick out an obvious pebble
to aim at.
Directon on long putts will improve by aiming at a
spot only two feet away from your ball. in line with where
you want the ball to go, Instead of aiming at the hole 30
feet away. When faced with an obstruction. such as a tree
or hill, that blocks your view of the pin. don't guess the
general direction of the green. Pick a spot that is directly
in line with the flag and aim at it.
These aids will give you a definite target to aim at, as
well as focus your concentration to one positive spot
Instead of general areas. Remember to use only natural
objects that are part of the golf course, such as a bare
spot, an area of dark grass, spike marks, leaves, twigs or
tall trees that appear above your horizon. Never use a
club, kleenex, hat or caddy to mark your spot and assist
your direction. or penalty strokes can be assessed against
your score.

St. Charles Country Club
The term "short game" refers to putts on the green as
well as shots played from nearby with a less-than -full
SWing . All players who excel at golf realize the tremendous impact these shots have on their over-ell scores
and, therefore, they devote a large portion of their practice time to them. You should, tool
Resi st the tendency of so many novice players to stan
preparing for another shot before the previous one has
stopped rolling. The short game is a game of imagination. Don't be afraid to practice using different clubs for a
variety of shots. Using only one club continually will not
produce lasting success. Your long-term success will
depend largely on how well you can anticipate beforehand just how far a given shot will fly. bounce and roll
with a given amount of swing motion with a given club.
Only by watching your shots to their finish can you build
a vital backlog of knowledge.
COIL LEG MUSCLES FOR MORE POWER
By Barrie McWha,
Professional.
Southwood Golf and Country Club
USing the legs properly is an Integral part of initiating
a sound golf swing. You cannot hit the ball far or straight
by standing flat-footed and waving at it with your arms
and hands. When you hear someone complain that he
has lost distance, you can be sure it's probably because
he's not using his legs properly.
Good use stans with the right setup. The legs should
be in a "coiled" position, with muscle tension to the
inside of the legs, allowing for more control.
The second movement is a sliding one through the
swing as you shift your weight from the right to left foot.
Keep the knees forward to avoid any swaying action.
Next, the knees lead the hands and the power is unleashed at the moment of the hit as the muscles uncoil at
impact.
Practice your leg-work and see how it will work for
you.
IMPROPER BACKSWING
COLLECTS mOUBLE
By Dale Esopenko,
Professional,
Assinibolne Golf Club
During my golf clinics, I see Quite a few beautiful
follow-throughs, but very rarely a decent backswing. A
poorly executed backswing collects potential trouble.
Many times, a golfer's problem can be eliminated before
he starts his backswing.
To correct faults· in the backswing, maintain the firm
triangle formed by your hands, arms and shoulders at
address until your hands are waist high. This will produce
a long, low takeaway and will automatically turn your
shoulder under your chin . Your wrists do not cock until
they are waist high. That's all your hands do ; nothing
more.
At the top of your swing. your left arm will be fully
extended - straight - your shoulder will be under your
chin and your waist will have turned slightly away from
the target. Your body feels coiled and ready to spring
through impact. And remember : do not move your head I
THINK OF YOUR FAVORITE CLUB
WHEN SWINGING ONE YOU FEAR
Be sure of one; thing
By Sandy Kurceba,
1980 Carling Cup Winner
at the Manitoba Open
(now touring in Australia)
All golfers seem to have a favorite club they love to
swing. Just as surely, they have at least one club they
dread. Most average players are especially fearful of the
long irons. Such fear leads to incomplete backswings or
hurried swings over-all. Can failure be far behind?
You can overcome this intimid.atlon through proper
visualization. When faced with a shot with a club that
gives you trouble, imagine that you're swinging w ith
your favorite club. For instance, my personal nemesis Is
the 2-lron. When faced with a 2-lron shot, I simply think of
a longer swing with a 6-iron, which Is myoid faithful. That
positive thought triggers the right tempo and I make a
good swing.

IMPROVE TIMING AND HAND ACTION
By Harry Brotchie,
Assistant Professional,
Winnipeg Municipal Courses
If you're in the habit of rushing your downswing, try
hitting a few practice shots while holding onto the club
with your left hand only (or right hand only If you 're lefthanded). At first, you'll find it almost impossible to hit the
ball. Once you learn to pause at the top of your backswing, giving your hips and legs time to start moving and
lead the downswing, you'll notice a vast improvement. It
is very important to give your swing time to change
directions and this drill teaches you just that. The drill
also requires proper left hand ection et impact and proper
arm e>ctenson after contact to get the bell airborne.
