Another bonus is that those clinics are held at future Olympic venues. This gives Dear Editor: A few comments on David Baker’s (and your) implication in his article that the game of golf is rife with sexism, racism and nationalism, (“Old Mill Groundbreaking” Nov 2-21 issue). Sorry your friend Dana was asked to leave on Men’s Day; however most that does not mean we have to listen and remain mute to preposterous comments likening a golf course to an eth- nic diversity fair. ? Dear Dave, John, Balog, and whoever else is editor de [sic - we think] jour: Enclosed please find my check in the pare the world for an awesome Winter Games. | To me, it seems people are mostly concerned with things most personal to them.

Competing in Olympic events and using Olympic facilities will give participants a greater appreciation for what Utah offer the world in 2002.

I’m also not suggesting that the Olympics will bring nothing but bliss to Utah, but since it’s on its way, we may as well make the best of it. The Winter Games is just one way to become familiar with the Olympics. Those who actively participate in winter sporting events will see the advantages of the Olympic games. The Utah Winter Games makes participating a piece of cake, but they put the choice to do so in your hands. Sraneipseecs Chris Hughes, Alpine UT notices.
