Viewmont 4A windfall The Viewmont Vikings, a class 4A high school from Bountiful, had little in common with Region 7 until this month Now they not only have heard of the region but are enjoying a surprising windfall in their sports program as a result of two recent transfers.

Emery is losing Allrcd, their potential poten-tial all-state wide receiver who was recognized all-region last year for the region champion Spartans.

With the national pastime reeling from its most tainted years since the Black Sox scandal in 1913 with Steinbrenner, Rose, and company constantly painting the headlines, Americas most quiet and etiquette laden sport is reeling even worse from claims of discrimination. Twenty years after the America faced and put to bed widespread bigotry and race discrimination lead by President Johnson and the federal feder-al judiciary, the issue raised its head last week at the PGA Championship held at Shoal Creek Country Club, which we now find out has no black .membership. Even in the deepest parts of the South, where the definition of hate, bigotry, and racial unjustice was defined de-fined at its worst, this country has long since stamped out most appearances ap-pearances of this social problem and sports was a leading factor is accomplishing ac-complishing it. First came Robinson with the Dodger to break the color barrier, and then the flood was just two short decades from being complete com-plete in washing it out. This being the case, it was with a great deal of surprise when the problem surfaced in of all places sports and even more surprising in golf, which prides itself for etiquette and sportsmanship. No longer a country club game enjoyed by the rich, golf is the fastest growing sport in America and is now enjoyed at all levels of income and economic well being. Last week the sports world woke up to revelations that a dozen or so country clubs hosting the most prestigious pres-tigious events in golf were closed to play by blacks and club membership. member-ship. The feelings of America were instant and welcome to most as sponsor after sponsor cancelled television tele-vision advertisement the bread and butter of most professional sports. The PGA responded quickly and left no doubt that this oroblcm was short lived. Answer? No tournaments tourna-ments at sites which discriminates the basis of race. Short and simple. This week another revelation surfaced sur-faced in our own back yard. Castle Pines (Denver area), the site of the Intcrnauonal Invitational, has no black members, and don't meet the guidelines established and announced an-nounced by the PGA just last week. Castle Tines responded to the latest lat-est revelation by quickly pointing out that they have an open door pol Vernal Expre$$TMfy Sta)C 789-3511 54 N Vernal Ave ROCKY MOUNTAIN ELK FOUNDATION UINTAH BASIN CHAPTER 2" Annual BANQUET & AUCTION Saturday August 11, 1990 Bottle Hollow Resort, Ft.

Larry Thicl, Executive Director of the International pointed out that a black executive was asked to join the club in 1987, but declined. "We have no qualms about inviting a black member," said Thiel, "Our goal is to invite quality people." Therein lays the crux of the problem prob-lem where membership of a country club determines whether a club is acceptable as a site of a PGA tournament. tour-nament. Traditionally, memberships in country clubs are extremely expensive ex-pensive and only a small percentage of the people in this country can afford af-ford to belong. Castle Pines for instance in-stance requires an initiation fee of $65,000. It currently includes two women as members and two celebrity members in John Elway and Dan Reeves of the Denver Broncos. The storm of the current problem gained fuel last week when Shoal Creeks founder admitted that black's weren't welcome as members mem-bers of the private country club. After the event's lucrative television package started crumbling as major sponsors including IBM began pulling out, the club officers admitted admit-ted two black members including one honorary and one which reportedly report-edly will pay the $35,000 initiation fee. That combined with the PGA anti-discriminatory policy adopted in the eye of the storm put the fire temporary out. Now comes the same problem with Castle Pines. A quick survey of the 143 courses which will host PGA events in 1990 showed that 8 have no black members. mem-bers. As many as 30 more are believed be-lieved to be in the same boat when all the facts and figures are in. The jury is still out on this one, but a solution is somewhat in doubt. Social injustice and bigotry can and should not be tolerated in any aspect of contemporary American life. However, if one cannot afford the . cost of membership there will be many without minorities included. The problem is not an easy one to deal with, but golf must successfully successful-ly deal with it if the sport is to grow and thrive as it has for the past two decades. A survey released by U.S. Today shows that the demographics of golf include some 13,000 courses in this country. The average annual salary of a person who plays golf is $42,100. The average age is 37.9 years. 77 of all players arc male. 23 million Americans will play golf this year. SAMPSON Had the right idea about advertising... He took 2 columns and brought down the house!
