V’O’ffi'MTEâ€"IIXX’X'fifNUMBER 44 For a great many years Richmond Hill has been surrounded, literally ringed, by some very fine golf courses. This year the Richmond Hill Golf and Coun- try Club will be operating almost smack dab in the centre of town. And it’s quite a layout. T1175 u RON CRAINI Hey Clara! How about that weather last weekll Really nice huh? What was that you said about paint- ing the house? Why it was painted only seven years ago. so let’s not rush it! What was I going to do today? . .. Play golf, what else? it’s gotten to be that time of the calendar when the old itch sets in, in millions of palms â€"â€" an itch that only a golf club, well swung. can satisfy. From St. John’s, Newfoundland. to the remotest part of Vancouver Island â€"â€" thousand of brags will be brag- ged in locker rooms. Several thousand golf balls will mysteriously disappear, never to be seen again. And little boys, somewhat begrimed will suddenly appear and start to sell a mysteriously acquired stock of slightly used golf balls. If any of it sounds like fun, then it’s only natural. It is fun! The 18-hole course is of championship length and was designed by Robbie Robinson, the renowned golf course architect. Some of the sweetest holes you’ll ever see on any layout came out of the fertile brain of Mr. Robinson. Clubhouse and clubhouse facilities are the work of Pentland and Baker and is a struc- ture that they'll always be proud to have their name associated with. Two types of membership are available in the club. A full, or senior, membership and an associate membership. The associate membership is a new departure in the country club field and is well worth investigating if you are at all interested.

Two previous games and the unseasonal heat did much to take a toll of tired but willing young bodies.

On several occasions Mr. Methe had had to help exhausted and injured players from the ice. In order to prevent the possibility of serious injury to the tired players, he called his team to the bench.
