The team did not Talking byTom Shields Wa. . } Today's column will be mainly about golf and alittle bit of background on the Canadian Open Golf Championship, at least from a caddy's point of view. Just a few weeks ago, I found out that one of my work cohorts, Paul DeCourcy from CKMP news department was a caddy at the Canadian open 1962 when the Championship was held at Laval Sur la Lac golf course in Montreal. At the time, Paul was a caddy in Beaconsfield, Quebec, and being one of the top caddys at the course, he was chosen to go and caddy at the Open. Although the tournament doesn't start until Thursday of the week, most of the golfers show up on Monday and Tuesday for practice rounds before Thursday morning. In this case, the young (at that time) Jack Nicklaus didn't arrive in Montreal until late Tuesday night. During the practice rounds, Paul went out and caddied nine holes with Gary Player from South Africa, who was one of the "'big three"' golfers at that time, namely Palmer, Player, and Nicklaus. In the practice round. Gary would stop along the fairway and give souvenir golf balls to the gallery or fans and he would stop and have his picture taken with the youngsters and their parents. On the green, he was the picture of concentration as Paul had to hold the flag in the hole absolutely still until the ball was only three feet from the hole, then he was to get the flag out as quickly as possible. After the practice round, Paul had to take the gold clubs and give them a complete washdown then go and "shag" golf balls on the practice range, where the pro would hit close of 200 golf balls with all the clubs in the bag, and the cad- dy's job was to pick them all up on the fairway. For his duties with Gary Player, Paul received a dozen brand new golf balls. In the actual tournament, Paul was the caddy for Al Johnson who was a touring pro out of Montreal. He had won the Coral Gables in Florida a few months back, and had done well in the Pensacola open the previous week. In the Canadian Open, Al just made the cut for the final 36 holes, but finished well out of the money, and in the final round, he would talk to Paul about mainly the nice looking girls in the gallery. In a tournament, the caddy has a busy day as he has to rise around 5 a.m., be out on the course by 6a.m., the walk completely around the course and mark all the pin-placements on a score card. In the major events, they change the hole or pin placement every day. During the round, he had to keep the golfer's clubs clean as well as giving him the right club for the shot, replace the divots or turf, smooth out the sand traps and get the flag on the green. Following the round, the caddy has to clean off the clubs with water, then back to the driving range to shag a few more golf-balls in the pro wants more practice. In 1962, for a complete week of caddying, Paul De Courcy received $50.00 for his work. But according to Paul, the memories of the event are worth far more than the 50 bucks, which incidentally went a lot farther in those days. On the local golf scene, the Huronia Twilight Golf League which is the first golf league in the yarea is off to a good start and plays every @ night at the Brooklea Golf Course. 'his year there are 14 teams, but many more golfers are getting interested in league play, and there should be at least 25 teams next season., Every golfer is even in the league as a han- dicapping system allows the club champion, . Russ Howard who shoots par to take on guys like Ted Watson who doesn't shoot par and all that Ted got out of playing with Russ, was a good golfing lessons. Another player who enjoys it so much is Rick Henderson who even shows up in 20-ton trucks direct from work. You can see everything on Thursday night from good shots to balls in the woods or rough, where I was last week. Iam hoping to improve my score this week and try to be a par golfer. A "par" golfer is also called a "scratch" golfer. I'll be a scratch golfer for sure. Last week I hit my golf ball into every patch of poison ivy on the course.

Lucy Maurice, gold medal winner REAL ESTATE "A REAL ESTATE B = GEORGE ARSHALL LIMITED REALTOR ROKER FOR 30 YEARS" 65 KING ST. MIDLAND 526-2293 Five months of training paid off Five months of hard work and training paid off for Penetanguishene athlete Lucy Maurice. Last week she placed first in the midget girls shot put at the All Ontario track and field meet in Toronto. Maurice, 14, is a first year student at Penetanguishene _Seco- Indians After a loss to Orillia last week and a rained out game Sunday night, the Midland Indians travelled to Collingwood on Mon- day night and clobbered the hometown Cavemen 9-1. Good hitting by the Indians, coupled with numerous _ Collingwood errors, paved the way for Midland's fifth win of the season. Bob Dyment went all the way on the mound for the tribe, striking out eight batters and allowing only one run. Wayne Rutherford came up with four RBIs in the game for the indians, Pa iles ndary School and she lives in Lafontaine. The gold medal win at the Toronto meet was not the first win of the season for Maurice although it may have been the most important. She threw the shot 9.72 m to capture first place, with the runner up making a 9.70 m throw. while Al Gignac went three for four at the plate, with a triple, a double, and a single. Ron Spiker managed a triple and teammate Gary Hamelin hit a double. According to team spokesmen, everyone came up a winner at the plate for Midland Monday night. That momentum could pay off for the Indians, as they head into what is shaping up to' be the toughest part of the summer schedule. The tribe travels to Ivy on Friday night to take on Her opponent came close but not close enough to take home the coveted gold medal. Maurice defeated 23 girls in the event. The record of the midget shot is 10.10 m, said Maurice's coach and physical education in- structor, Gail Kingsley. She added Gail has dump Cavemen the league-leading Ivy Leafs. On Saturday at 2 p.m. Midland hosts Creemore and on Sunday night, the Indians play host to Barrie. Collingwood comes in to the Midland ball park on Tuesday night. Then on Wednesday night, the Indians travel to Barrie for the fifth game in six nights. Despite being up 60 after two innings of play last Tuesday, the Midland team dropped a 10-7 decision to Orillia. Orillia came back with four runs in the third inning, two in the fourth and two in the fifth to take the win from the Indians. The loss was only Midland's second of the year. Starting pitcher Ken Fox was relieved at the end of the third inning by Bob Dyment, who couldn't seem to put it together. Midland's Bill Beauchamp provided the Indians with three runs, knocking a three run homer over the outfield fence. Ken Fox scored on a rare inside the park home run. Sunday night's home game at the Midland ball park was rained out after the first inning. By that time, Creemore had spotted Midland a 40 lead. thrown 11 m in practice and this is close to Canadian championship records. Maurice was _ the overall midget champion at the Tri Meet and the Zone meet both held earlier this season. She placed first in the 100 m, 200 m, and the shot put to qualify her for the All Ontario meet. This is Maurice's first year of serious com- petition but she said she hopes to keep up her training throughout the summer by competing in Legion meets across the province. She competed when she was in public school but that was for fun, she said. "T won lots and lots of ribbons but it was easy then," she said. Maurice is a tall, strong looking girl but said the other girls at the Toronto meet towered over her. She is fortunate in that she will be eligible for the midget division again next year. By that time, many of the girls she competed against this year will have moved up into the next category. Maurice said she had always thought her favorite events in track had been the 100 m and shot put. Now she knows it is the shot put. Lucy shows her technique Lucy Maurice, a Penetanguishene Secondary School student recently won a gold medal at the All Ontario meet in calendar Etobicoke. Here she displays her winning style in throwing the shot.
