vouncs PHORflWCVlTD Open Until PHONE 2761 the HERALD PLAYING FIELD Putt for an education Anybody who has ever golfed understands the pressure of that first teeoff There a no deeper sense of Isolation and humiliation than Ibe one that accompanies the golfer who shanks that tint drive for seemingly all the world to see Even seasoned competitors like Rob Brown reel the pressure Brown fast becoming one of the best young golfers In the province at the tender age of IT talks candidly about the Intensity of tournament golf He Is deadly serious about his game but because he 17 he can still muster a gnn when he recalls soma of his less masterful strokes from days gone by When I fret started playing In touma Just getting off the first tee was enough pressure Brown admits There always a lot of people watching and you just want to hit a good shot When you really shank one you Just try to not look at anybody Brown doesn t shank them too often He recently strung together scores of and lo capture the North Coif and Country Club Junior championship for golfers under the age of When I first playing In getting of the first tee was enough pressure There always a lot of people watching and you want to hit a good shot When you really thank one yon try not look at anybody ROB BROWN Winning his club title is one more step for Brown towards his premier goal which is to parlay his golf skills Into a scholarship at a major American university He had already taken one large strike towards that target earlier in the Ontario Junior championship In Midland Realistically he need to finish in the lop five next summer he wants that scholarship but the Georgetown District High School Grade 13 student feels that is a reasonable possibility His reasoning Is simple enough Most of the golfers who finished ahead of him this year were IB They be gone next summer I was hoping to finish In the top this year but I was hitting the ball everywhere Brown says I really could have played much better Brown will get plenty of opportunity to work on cutting strokes from his game because he works at the North Halton club He fixes and cleans golf clubs and cleans golf carts and he manages to find time for la holes every day Another reason Brown wilt likely improve enough to reach the top five la his attitude He considers himself a student of the game and he always looking for that little something that will give him an edge He might pick up a pointer playing with someone else or watching golf on television Even the proa are still learning about the game Brown says I always trying to pick up something new I II try anything I like to watch others and Imitate them Itsamatterofseeingwhattheydo and working It Into your own style In the end It may still come down to Brown a ability to perform in the clutch Putt for dough and all that You dont count on anybody else Just yourself he explains If I blow It there is nobody else to blame You just can think about what happens If you miss an Important shot You don think about the consequences If you blow It you Just try not to look at anybody Jr tryonts begin Gem rooks graduate to main camp Nineteen rookies have graduated to the
