Don Lawrence * Sports editor * 36-hole tourney Repeat performance for Jackson, Rodd in 30,000 Island atMGCC by Doug Reed Mike Jackson of Midland and Gordon Rodd of Lindsay both won low gross and low net for the second year in a row over the weekend at Midland Golf and Country Club during the 30,000 Island's Open Golf Tournament sponsored by Swales Men's Wear. The ninth annual classic attracted some 168 golfers from 40 clubs around the province. A golfer from Sudbury and another one from Lively near Sudbury came the furthest distance to take part in the 36-hole affair. According to Gord McLean who has been chairman of the tourney for the past six years and it V. P. for its initial three years, registration was to have closed July 23 but the tournament had sufficient players by July 9. As a matter of fact aside from 10 alternates picked for the annual "do" scores of others had to be turned away from this the biggest golf tournament to be staged at MGCC each year. Golfers played 18 holes Saturday and another 18 Sunday in a total of three flights. Course Jackson burned up the course with a 141 and was awarded a suit of clothes along with all the goodies that went with it. A trephy from Garner's Sports was also presented -to the two-time winner of the 30,000 Island's Tournament. Rodd won a handsome golf bag and a trophy from Huronia Travel. He had a sizzling 132 for low net over the 36 holes he plated at the Midland club. The maximum handicap allowed for the tournament was 20, McLean noted this week as he proudly reported the weatherman played ball with his committee. (Much to his surprise at the end of the tourney he was presented with a plaque for his unselfish contributions to the annual affair over the years). 4 And speaking of winners, Ken Tannahill won the draw for a set of clubs. (Not bad eh?) The longest drive of the tournament was recorded by John Cornwall who whalloped the little white ball some 260 yards. This is how the weekend shaped up: in the first flight, the low gross leader was Chester Graham. The popular MGCC members notched a 146 score for 36 holes. Glen Howard had a 147. Al Pappel cover the 36 holes in 149. Dave Millar had a 149 as well. Bob Garner recorded a 150 and Dale Stringer collected a 152. Low gross leader in the first flight was Glenn Placido with a 139. Ed Dorion, another well-like MGCC member notched a 139 which wasn't bad for a fellow who was a bit under the weather. Roger Greathead and Herb Palmer both recorded: 141 while Paul Jackson and Si Laurin added 142s apiece. Second flight low gross leader was Gary Collins with a 158. John Webber and Ken Tannahill both notched 159. Howie Wright had a 161, Dennis Lemieux had a 162 and Paul Aspinwall had a 163. Low net in that flight was paced by Dave Fennell with George Bedard, Ken Tiffin, _Gary St. German, Ross McClymont and Tom Easerman in the pack. Low gross in the third flight went to Roger Greathead with Jim McIntosh, Richard Bruneau, Fred Bennett, Dave Dobko and Ross Cousineau all in their swinging. Winners Low net winners included Ove Lemesurier, Ron Vellinga, Jim Blanchard, Brian Honey, Ross Heacock and Harry Fostey. In all a total of 13 low gross and 13 low net prizes in each flight were warded. As well the committee managed to raise $300 through the sale of draw tickets for prizes supplied by Penetang Bottling. The money will go towards the Crippled Children's Olympics. McLean spoke highly of the support his committee received again this year from merchants in Midland. Noting many of the golfers brought their wives to Midland for the weekend, he said he was pleased to hear 'how well they all were treated." The committee plans to meet next February to make plans for the 10th annual 30,000 Island's Golf Tournament which has never been rained out, notes this year's tournament chairman. Committee The committee which has been hosting these annual events for the past nine years is also well known for helping to underwrite annual deficits recorded by the junior division at the club which has been growing by leaps and bounds and which this spring held suc- cessful clinics at both Midland' Secondary School and at the Highway 27 golf course. What did those golfers who took part in last weekend's event think of the tournament? The ones we talked to said they are already making plans for next year's...and that certainly is proof this particular event has become a real winner over.,the years.

The tournament was a great success, bringing in about $800, which will be used to buy new equipment and uniforms for the men's and women's teams. The opening game between Newmarket K and L and the Stayner A's set the pace for the day. It took an extra inning to decide a winner. At the top of the fifth inning, Newmarket went ahead 1-0, but Stayner soon fought back to tie it up 1- 1 by the bottom of the fifth. Stayner loaded the bases twice, but couldn't quite score. Newmarket went on from there to get the winning run in on a passed ball. In the consolation round, Glenfield met Elmvale, defeating them 6-5, with pitcher Sue Cowan leading Glenfield to their third victory. For her efforts, Cowan was voted Most Valuable Player. The championship round was just as exciting, if not as close. The Army, Navy, and Air Force Club of Barrie won the game 2-1 against Newmarket to. claim the $500 purse, with Newmarket receiving $200 for second place. Marilyn Shepherd was voted most valuable pit- cher for the Army, Navy and Air Force Club, and tirely sponsored by Therrien's, the money for the prizes being raised through car washes and ticket draws. Joan Scott, who worked a large part in organizing and running the tournament felt '"'everyone worked very hard." She added, she felt it was that much better because they earned the money, instead of it being given to them. It was probably the best ladies tournament ever held in North Simcoe. The fans who turned out for Saturday's classic weren't disappointed in that they saw some of the finest softball ever played in this neck of the woods. The competition was very stiff, the play was aggressive with some of the best pitching and fielding to take place on the King Street softball diamond in many a year. : Joan Scott, Peter Grigg and all those who were responsible for organizing the day did a super job. And if you thought the gals were sissies they weren't. They could chuck a ball from the outfield to home plate as quick as a flash.

In fact, the majority of the completed evaluations give high marks to the four students and term the workshop "in- formative," and "educational."

Darrell Curry says it's not the actual testing the group enjoys as much as they find speaking with par- ticipants on a one-to-one basis.
