I suppose if you re Gordon Stewart 16, Good looking clean Cut and polite you must be wondering what it takes to catch a spot on Manitoba s Junior Golf team. You were runner up to the Winner in your age group with a 79, you qualified with an 80 and you re in the Semi finals of the match play championships when it is announced that two Guys who Are out of the tournament have gouged you out of a. Place even As alternate on the team. But then if you Are As sensible a Young Man As Gordon Stewart appears to be you la Tell yourself what the Heck there s still two years left to make the big scene and that the Mega must be going with the seasoned 17 and 18-year Olds in its Effort to Field the Best possible lineup. But that trip to Kelowna would be Nice even if you had to pick peaches instead of hitting Golf balls once you got there. You might also wonder though just what they la think if j you carry on today and win the Matt Thompson trophy which is supposed to stamp you As the Best Junior golfer Between Fleming sask.

It s even discreetly hidden among the stipulations of the Wil 1 Lin Don cup trials for the men albeit that the Best 72-Hole totals form the basis for four people making the team. And the officials were Quick to Point out yesterday at is. Boniface that the selection of the Junior team was based on medal play Only of the Junior tournament going on this week. That then would take in tuesday and wednesday in Young or. Stewart s Case when he qualified first through i his age group and then through the round that led he and 15 others into match play. Looking Back at that perhaps Gord is borrowing a Little Shakespeare and saying to himself Aye there s the in those two rounds he absorbed six penalty strokes for j firing balls off into the wide Blue yonder and the Seine j River in the eyes of the Mega officials that would not stamp him As a great medal player. And when play became his bread and Butler yesterday he was the first to say it was Nice to Kerp the Ball in play for a change while he discussed his two triumphs Over Dauphin s Charles Jackson and Brandon s Bill Grossman. Still if he does t make the team by beating the can off everybody next year i Hope the Mega remembers him if he s even close when it hauls out that hoary old term Selec Tion and puts it to use.

Murray Wing of fort William 18, also a loser yesterday was named As alternate to the Manitoba team. Or. Maurice Smith sports editor Winnipeg free press Winnipeg Man. Dear Maurice. After attending Manitoba open and watching the final Day s round i could not help but be extremely disappointed in or. Dwight Parkinson s officiating Atti tude toward a certain ruling. You will no doubt recall the free lift that Bob Reasor the eventual Winner received due to an unplayable lie situation. Well when it came Down to the last few holes and Reasor was getting hot ter talk of this ruling buzzed around the course and filtered through to some of the players in Contention. One of the players who was five under at the time be came aware of this ruling taken by Reasor and was obviously bothered by it As his game progressively deteriorated. As Chance would have it. Or. Parkinson happened to be a Short distance away from the tee this particular player was going 1o use and before teeing up he and a Friend who acted As the spokes Man asked or. Parkinson to explain the specific ruling on Reasor s shot. Or. Parkinson sat in the Golf cart grinning then replied that he could not answer their query As he was not present during the incident thereby closing the Issue. Later when the score cards were being signed by the individual players Thi same golfer again in a most polite and courteous manner asked or. Parkinson if he could explain the ruling. The terse reply was i was t there were you moments later Reasor walked out for the official presentation and thanked or. Parkinson for saving the Day by making the ruling on the unplayable Ball. Now i realize that Reasor May have incorrectly assumed that in his capacity As head official. Or. Parkinson had made the final Rul ing when perhaps this was not the Case. But the Point i am frying to make is that or. Parkinson was flagrantly negligent in his ability to Supply accurate answers to the question put to him by Bobby Mitchell who is probably one of the most polite players in the golfing circuit. In my opinion. Or. Parkinson s rude reply was most uncalled for and tainted with Bush league attitude. I Felt this incident should be brought to the attention of your readers after Reading or. Parkin son s letter to you regarding the expulsion of a Media cameraman. Our head official was extremely efficient and knowledgeable when it came to newsmen s apparel and reporter s cameras but lacked the ability and even More important common Courtesy to answer a question on an important ruling. I Trust this letter will be Given the equal exposure in your column As was afforded or. Parkinson s. De Edwards Winnipeg.
