T ips From A Tennis Player Keep gravel BY FRED SIMPSON Take a stroll behind the town‘s two arenas in the park any of these summer nights and the most audible sound you‘re going to hear is a soft “pock, peck" repeated almost endlessly. But you persevere, move be- tween the fine of trees. and watch a group of tennis players in intense action against one another. The “pack, pock” sounds are the tennis balls as they hit the asphalt courts. Scene is the locale of The Richmond H111 Tennis Club and the first drops of the night‘s rain are starting to fall as you chat with some of the players and Eric Girdler in particular who is publicity man for the club. Just to your right is the un- impressive looking but service- able former construction shack which is the clubhouse. Coffee is being served from its inner sanctums. you accept one, and take refuge against the ram under the uncertain protection of tree limbs and chat with Eric about tennis.

BANTAM DIVISION Sparking the win was the five goal effort of Tim Whelan. The Hill took control of the game after a slow start as Whe- lan opened the scoring on a pass from Danny Kerohan.

Immediate objective is to arrange some type of a change-room for the players. The local club is presently bursting with energy having a membership of 150 seniors and 150 juniors with more arriving every day. tennis players because the rain has washed out the evening's play and the courts are soon glistening. Eric is apologizing for the rain because he wanted you to see the players in action. He‘s also saying that the local club has occupied its present site for five years and is currently negotiating with the town with “I‘d say our membership is up 100 percent over last year.” said Eric. “We have hoards of young players signing up. Dur- ing June and July we had in- struction classes every Satur- day with the teaching being done by professional instruc- tors.” The Jewellers started off in convincing fashion running up' a 3-0 lead on two goals by Dale Moreland and another one by David Mason before Tuck came on with his big toe. Tuck now has a total of 21 goals this sea- .son. The local club’s senior mem- bers range on the average from 30 to 40 years with one of the oldest (but definitely not old in spirit) being 65-year-old Jack Brodrick Of 167 Mill Street. Richmond Hill has competi- tive entries in the North York Tennis League and the Inter- County League. They’ve won the North York loop champion- ship four out of the five years it has been in existence includ- ing last year.

Eric himself. readily admits he’s no ace at the game but what he might lack in ch-arn~ pionship calibre he makes up in the aforementioned enthusiasm. In fact he met his wife Janet (they have five children) while playing tennis and that says enough in itself. Janet is also an active mem- ber in the club and works with the junior members. And son, Mark, age 10, is turning out to be quite a tennis player having won the junior bracket last kind of enthusiasm. "Is a very active sport. You very seldom see a fat tennis player."

It was a different story a, few weekends ago as Andrea came up with a 'not-so-good game in the qualifying rounds for this year’s team and finished 1 out of the running. the 1969 tournament when she and Lisa King teamed up to win the Ada Mackenzie Challenge Trophy for 3‘56WE§‘§RXTIREE “I couldn't do anything right," was her simple explanation. Enough said. As for the Summit course in the 1970 Junior tournament beginning August 4 and going through to August 7: “I think the golfers unfamiliar with the course will find it a little difficult. There are quite a few narrow fairways and there will be a tendency to play them a, little too cautiously. 17"‘u “If I can get off to a running start things should go all right. Hope so. anyway.” The Ontario team comprising last year’s single gross Winner Miss King will have to be considered favorites â€"â€" at least at the beginning. Teaming up with Miss King of the London Hunt and Country Club will be Linda Goodwin, St. Thomas, and Pam Mackay, of Ashburn. The individual competitions will consist of 54 holes with team play confined to 36. Summit Professional Kenny Girard agrees with Andrea that the narrow fairways with elevated greens will present the major challenge to the young golfers from all over Canada. A _ “To score well at Summit,” says Girard, "a player must have down pat the short pitch shot and the high cut shot. “At Summit 14 of 18 greens are in some degree of elevation which require many types of wedge shots. The greens are rolling, reasonably small and well bunkered.” 'This will be the first year that the Junior GirIs’ Canadian Championship and Junior Inter-Provincial Team Championships will be held? by themselyes. Three juniors comprise each provincial team with the best two of the three scores being used each day. Thirty six hole medal play Will be used for the junior team competition and the two rounds will be played concurrently with the first two rounds of the junior championship which is a 54 hole medal play competition. The week‘s schedule of extra-curricular events will include a flag raising ceremony and buffet supper August 4, a “Splash” party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Gibson as well as a barbecue, a golf clinic run by Club Pro Girard, and a Wiener roast at the Summit. The week-long tournament will close with the final 18 holes Friday followed at 7 pm by the championship dinner and prize giving. A total of six ton American junior golfers will be competing including the aforementioned Miss Baker. Markham Township will be the hosts for the “Flag Raising” ceremony Tuesday at 5 pm. Some of the top junior golfers competing in- clude Sandra Baker of Niagara Falls, Suzanne Ethier, of Timmins and Sandra Baker of Eastoria, Ohio.
