b. 16, 1994 etting lost on dark golf course no picnic A mid-winter chance to get a jump 11 the golf season turned tense for 0 local duffers recently after they ound themselves lost on the links in tal darkness.

Anxious to hit some balls despite the waning day, the quartet decided to play anyway - even though they didn’t know exactly when it got dark. “It was cold, in the high thirties, but out we went,” said Sanci. “It had been months since we’d played, but we played well. It got darker - you could barely see your drive or approach shot - but we kept playing. No point quitting after seven holes.” Finally, after taking their last putts at the isolated 9th hole, they decided to head back. One problem. Where’s the clubhouse? Where’s the lights? It quickly dawned on the men that they were in a bit of a bind but headed back anyway, Sanci and Butorac in Teens charged in high-tech Bell heist Two Oakville young offenders and an 18-year-old Scarborough resident have charged with stealing $20,000 worth of sophisticated electronic equipment from company vehicles at the Bell Canada compound on Cornwall Road, last SUII'lIl‘lCl'.

Obviously we didn’t go the right way.” Sanci said they drove with extreme caution - signs only six feet away were completely obscured - and did their best to stay on the path. Finally Sanci recognized a Buick dealer he’d seen on the way from the airport and followed a fence along Highway 278 to the entrance of the course. As they pulled up- to the clubhouse around 6:30 pm. a “rescue” vehicle (actually a refreshment cart with lights) was just heading out after them. Problem was, Mangan and O’Brien were still missing. The searchers came back a while later, but still no sign of their friends, prompting Sanci and Butorac to think the worst: they’d hit a tree, tipped over or - gulp - encountered a alligator. Finally, at around 8 pm, the search party located the pair. “It was humorous when it started and humorous when it ended, but in nuddS‘ SATU?N..
