Contact: Ed Sharp 649-8601 Capson Morris McComb QJ If you've followed the Utah sports scene over the past decade, the name may ring a bell. He played on state high school championship teams in basketball and golf in the late 1960s, was the captain of the Utah State University golf team in 1970-71, and worked in public relations for the Utah Stars. His name is Douglas Vilven, he's 33 years old, and he's the new head pro at the Park City Municipal Golf Course. Vilven was one of three finalists for the Park City job. One of the others was a former teammate on the Highland golf team, but Tonneson, currently the assistant as-sistant pro in Park City. Since he decided to make his living as a golf professional profes-sional in 1971, Vilven has worked for clubs from Illinois Illi-nois to the West Coast. He began as an assistant pro at the Los Coyotes Country Club in Buena Park, California, Cali-fornia, moved from there to the Tri-City Golf Course in American Fork, then to the Tamarisk Country Club in Palm Springs. His first job as a head pro was at the Plum Tree National Golf Course in Harvard, Illinois. Since 1979 he has been the head pro at the Oquirrh Hills Golf Course in Tooele. ' So why come to Park City? "This has got to be one of the best jobs in the Western United States," says Vilven Vilven says he plans to stress these programs which are important to locals: enthusiastically. "Every challenge in the world is right here. "This is a busy golf course for five months out of the year. And you have a tremendously diverse group of people playing it." With the opening of the highly acclaimed Jeremy Ranch Golf Course and the development of the Jack Nicklaus Golf Course in Park Meadows, Vilven can see the day when the Park City area could become a destination "golf mecca" like the Monterey Mon-terey Penninsula in California. Cali-fornia. "That (the addition of the new courses) gives you more flexibility in your promotion," promo-tion," he says. Vilven sees two extremes in running a golf course: one is to regard it strictly as a profit-making venture, the other is to regard it as a public amenity, like a city park, with profit as a secondary consideration. He expects to pursue the middle ground, prividing a service to locals and tourists without imposing a burden on the taxpayers. "We're going to run it certainly not (expecting) to lose money," he says. "We have talked pretty much about a middle-of-the-road approach." ' ' s m mmmma " mmsm instruction and competition for junior golfers, associations associa-tions for men and women, tournaments to attract visitors. visi-tors. As a regular visitor to the Park City facility, Vilven has seen some of the maintenance mainte-nance problems which have caused grumbles among local golfers. However, he says he has seen a dramatic Doug Vilven improvement since greens superintendent Bob Johnson was hired in August. Vilven says he has been told that local officials and residents want "a first-class operation all the way" with top-quality equipment as well as first-rate -maintenance. But doesn't that mean a bigger hit on the taxpayer? "In most cases it increases revenue," Vilven says. He argues that a first-class facility will generate more demand. Vilven expects to move to Park City with his wife, Denise, as soon as they can find housing. "I feel that it's important to live in the community that pays your wages," he says.
