Box 163, McHenry, Illinois 60050. uncle, avid players, have played at MCC. His uncle Hubbie Habjau has also been the golf pro at Onwentia Country Club in Lake Forest for the last 25 years. A gymnast in high school, Don attended Indiana University on an Evans scholarship, a caddy scholarship given to a high school senior that is in the top 20 percent of his or her graduating class interested in the sport. This scholarship, awarded to 800 to 900 students at In­ diana, is sponsored through the Western Golf Association (WGA), and is supported by the moneys taken in at the Western Opens. Don began his career early, working for his uncle at Onwentia when he was only 10 years old until his graduation from Indiana at age 22. He then moved on to Midlothian Country Club where he served as an assistant for seven years. Habjau is also affiliated with the Illinois Professional Golfers Association (PGA) and served as the Illinois chairman in 1980-81. He has spent duty on the executive committee for the tour­ nament board and a membership committee as well. After learning about the position at MCC from people in this area, Habjau was interviewed February 27 by the board of directors, and took the job in March. "It didnt take long at all," he said. "But, I'm very fortunate to be here as there is a lot of competition for only a few jobs like this." Habjau indicated there Midlothian is more of a private club as compared to McHenry which he considers semi-private, and he an­ ticipates that MCC will continue to be an active club as he puts his new programs to work. Several of these programs he began at Midlothian and they will be carried over to McHenry to continue to get the community involved. Habjau indicated that an extensive junior golf program will be part of the club and that clinics will become a regular function also. He .stressed that golf lessons will be available to the general public, and that this is what helped to build the program at Midlothian. McHenry H.S. will con­ tinue to use MCC as its home course. "I'm glad to be back in the McHenry area," Habjau concluded. "I hope to be here a long time to service members and residents and to promote golf to all levels and to all age groups of people." Don and his wife Linda make their new home in Waters Edge. Serving as Habjau's full- assistant will be Mr. Phil Simonsen, a former em­ ployee at Medinah Country Club in Medinah, 111. Simonsen will become MCC's first-ever full-time assistant.

SHAW MEDIA NEWS SERVICE losing only to the second best pro team in Austria. "It was an enjoyable and valuable nine day trip," said Mayer who made his second trip to Europe in three months. "We had no problems with ac­ comodations or anything, we were treated real well." The team rented a van to travel the countryside and stayed in some of the top hotels in Europe. But while the seniors were on tour, they were also on display The European •earns are always looking for American talent and some ' e a r n s , p a r t i c u l a r l y Austria's Division I team, have expressed interest in Mayer, who seems to fit in well into the European style •>f play. ' ' E v e r y b o d y t h e r e 'Europe) likes to run," Mayer said. "Teams use a '.O-seeond shot clock and the name really moves along. I iike 'hat type of running name." Maver's teammates must have liked it too as they tallied in triple digits during all six of their games. But Mayer was quick to indicate that although teams employ a run-and-gun of­ fense, all of the players get their share of points, as no one player dominates the scoring load. "Everybody gets a chance <o plav." he said. "And the players aren't greedy for 'heir points either." The biggest of the American All Stars. Mayer filled the bill averaging 10 points and 13 rebounds per contest while his team scored an average of 105 per c o n t e s t " I p l a y e d w i t h confidence," Mayer added He also found the European style to be a bit more brutal than he's used to. "The competition is a lot more physical in Europe," said Mayer when asked to make a comparison. "You don't get a lot of over the back fouls as everybody really crashes the boards." This is the style he'll have to get used to should one of the European*7, teams sign him. But he won't know that for a while yet, as their practices aren't scheduled to begin until August. Mayer, who led Mac- Murray to a 17-8 his senior year, also has another in­ ternational tryout scheduled in St. Louis during the first weekend in May. And the former McHenry H.S graduate isn't counting out the possibility of a N a t i o n a l B a s k e t b a l l Association tryout either. It 's been his life long dream. "I'd wanted to do this for a long time," he concluded. "I've been playing ball for so long that I'd like to get paid for it." And he just may.
