Scott played in the Ontario Championship at Borden's Circle Pines last week and finish- ed 16 overall out of over 130 golfers. Putting problems seem to plague Scott throughout the week as he shot 77 on Tues- day and recorded a seven over 79 Wednes- day, followed by another 77 Thursday mor- ning. However, the putts started to drop in Thursday afternoon as Scott registered an ex- cellent two under 70 for a 303 total. Scott was one of 43 golfers to make the cut Dinner Aug. 28 of 157. Scott's two round total was 156. Scott also found himself in a playoff for a spot on the Inter Provincial team to play against Quebec's best juniors. The playoff was necessitated by a tie. Scott's opponent turned out to Ray Lange of Springwater Golf Club near Barrie. Lange7is the same Ray Lange that set the course record at Midland Golf and Country club the week previous in the Centennial Junior Golf Cham- pionship edging Scott by just one stroke! This time around, the result was the same, but it took four holes to decide. The playoff took the two golfers one hour to play.

The Georgian Bay rowers came home from that regatta with gold medals. This crew is comprised of Steve Killing, Stew Jones, Dave Hurst, Bill Byrick and John Morrison. A women's masters crew is planning its debut in competition this weekend as well. Denise Tinney, Marg Killing, Sue Neilsen, Donna Sutherland, and Cindy Wright have been rowing on Little Lake several times a week to prepare for this event. This crew has great potential and is hoping for a great race in Toronto. A master is someone over 27 years of age. Rowing is one sport that is popular among athletes and fitness buffs of all ages as it pro- vides a total workout while at the same time being easier on joints than many other sports. The Georgian Bay Rowing Society has four women's crews and two men's crews row- ing together regularly in the "'coxed four" as well as numerous individuals who enjoy "sculling," rowing in a single. This year the society initiated a high school program in which 35 Midland Secondary School students participated. The program operated from April 1 to June 10 and resulted in 18 rowers competing in the Canadian Secondary School Rowing Championships in St. Catharines. If their enthusiasm is an in- dication, these young rowers will also be go- ing for the gold in the 21st century and will add their trophies to the collection started in September 1986 by the Georgian Bay Row- ing Society.
