Maunder off to fast start on Jr. Durham golf tour Seugog's Eddie Maunder is off to a quick start in the Durham-Northumberland Junior Golf Tour. | In the Tour's opening event held July 6, Maunder fashioned a brilliant two- under par 70 over the demanding Thunderbird course at Ashburn. Maunder"s 70 was three shots better than Nick Jones of Oshawa GC, and five better than Glen Stokey of Peterborough. Three golfers-- David Kovaks, Brian Wilkins and Brad Dove, all from Cherry Downs tied at 76. Maunder, who resides in Scugog, is playing out of the Cherry Downs course this season, Other Scugog golfers who competed in the first tournament included Kent Jamieson (86) and Jeremy Geer (83) from Sunnybrae, and Sandy Mark of Crestwood who fired 89 as an alternate. The inaugural Junior Tour will consist of seven stops this summer with the final August 23 at Lakeridge, according to John Uprichard of Oshawa, who helped organize it. "It's been very well received," he told the Citizen. "I expect it will expand next year." The qualifier June 26 at Dalewood near Port Hope attracted 93 hopefuls looking for one of the 60 spots on the Tour. Maunder carded a 73 that day to lead all qualifiers Other local golfers Jeremy Geer had 87 and Kent Jamieson 81. Sandy Mark finished tied with four others at 90 for the last spot, but lost in a tie breaker. He will play as an alternate. For each of the seven stops on the Tour, players are awarded points based on their finish that day. The low score gets 60 points, second low gets 59, etc. The overall winner after the seven stops will receive a "green jacket" at the closing banquet August 23 at Lakeridge. And the top four golfers from this Tour will be invited to compete as a team in Windsor September 11 and 12 in the Bill Miller Challenge against the best under 18 golfers from all over southern Ontario. This week, the Tour has two stops--Monday at Seaton and Wednesday at Fawn Brook. Watch for results next week. Jr. C MoJacks name coaching staff Brad Menzies has been named head coach of the Port Perry MoJacks for the up- coming Junior C hockey season The 22-year old Port Perry native who spent four seasons in a MoJack uniform will have former netminder and team- mate Ian Cooper and Richard "Chic" Carnegie working with him as assistants. Cooper, an Oshawa native, was a stellar goalie for the last two seasons with the MoJacks and he will be working mainly with the netminders. Carnegie, a businessman (Homestead Furniture) and life long resident of Port Perry with a keen interest in hockey, will work with Menzies on all aspects of the team. Menzies said his emphasis this coming season will be on team-work, "getting 20 guys working together as a unit." And he'll be looking to beef up the defense with some toughness. Menzies said hell work hard to gain the respect of the players, something his predecessor Ken Harman had at all times. Harman who took over part way through the 1992-93 season is credited with turning around a talented but floundering team, opted not to return this year due to work and family commitments. Carnegie, who played hockey at the Junior and Intermediate levels, and coached Junior in Port Perry years ago, said he is "honoured to be asked (to coach) by the MoJack organization." He'll divide his time behind the bench and spotting from the press box. Cooper, 21, has a wealth of Junior Cc netminding experience with Bowmanville and Port Perry (he was an MVP two seasons ago in the all star game) said he was thinking of taking a year away from the game, but when approached by the MoJacks he"jumped at the opportunity to try to help younger players." Last season, he was an assistant with a minor Atom team in Oshawa and enjoyed the experience. MoJack general manager Murray Parliament, who introduced the new coaching staff at a news conference last week, said the organization "is very pleased" that the three coaches are giving something back to the community and "have agreed to become part of the organization." Parliament said that as a player and captain with the MoJacks, Menzies showed great character, leadership and intelligence on and off the ice. He won three all-Ontario titles in his minor hockey days in Port Perry and two seasons ago was named MVP in the Central Junior C Loop. The MoJacks will open training camp early in September and have 14 players eligible to return from last year's team that advanced to the Central League semi finals. The team will be play a 30- game schedule this coming season, ten less than last year. Parliament said several teams in the Central League want to cut down on travel and ice time expenses this year. Fastball Challenge July 14 If top notch fastball with an international flavour gets your attention, Port Perry is the place to be this Wednesday evening (July 14) The Sioux City S8oos from Iowa will hook wp in doubleheader against Osh Hornets with the first pitch at 7:30 PM at the North Diamond on Water Street.. The Soos are ranked 8th in the United States and the Hornets are the 1992 International Softball Congress (1.8.C.) champs for Eastern Canada. Both these multi-talented teams are slated to play in the 1.8.C. world championship in Kimberly, Wisc. this August. The Soos will be arriving this Wed. afternoon at 2:30 at Toronto Airport land will stay in Oshawa before moving on to Perth for a major tournament this coming weekend. Hornets coach Ray Bickle says his ace pitcher Brad Baker will likely face Soos' Pete Sandman. And this should be quite a fr ion as Sand is ranked third in the United States while lefty Baker has all kinds of international fastball experience, including New Zealand. In game two, look for Chris Wilson of the Hornets to tangle with Michael Gaiger, a tall, hardthrowing youngster from New Zealand. The Soos bring with them a reputation for great talent at the plate. There are no "easy outs" in the entire line-up and they may give the Hornet hurlers all they can handle in this doubleheader. Port Perry Minor Softball is hosting this special "International Challenge." Water Street from Casimir to Mary will be blocked to traffic that evening to allow extra bleachers for the expected large crowds. And there will be a refreshment tent for those who want a "cool one"while watching the action on the field. Tickets for adults are $3 each ($6 a couple) at the gate, and all kids from Port Minor Softball wearing a team jersey and cap will get in free. o
