The hole is considered the course's signature hole because of the view of the mountains. Golf stars invade Riverside in October for fundraiser event View extra benefit of golf course Jasonranchuk DAILY HERAID Regarded as one of the most popular private clubs in Utah, the best time to go to Riverside Country Club might actually be in October. That's when the stars come out, as former BYU greats return re-turn to Provo to raise money for their alma mater's golf team. Johnny Miller and Mike Weir are among the notables who will likely have their hectic schedules arranged so they can be part of a fundraiser that takes place every two years. "It's great, because of the history his-tory of BYU golf," said Riverside River-side club pro Robert McArthur. Otherwise, Riverside is only available to members, or those from the outside who are invited in-vited by those inside. The non-members non-members will be charged S60 for a round, which includes a cart. Riverside is a challenging course that received a facelift last year when the water delivery de-livery system changed. The different irrigation meant some noticeable differences on Nos. 1, 10 and 18. The course is still a beauty. Watch for the tee at No. 17, which looks across the Provo River, Rock Canyon and Y Mountain. No. 12 has a beautiful view of Mt. Timpanogos. McArthur and regular players play-ers would say the toughest hole is No. 14. The course is full of good, long par 4s, but this one takes the cake as the hardest to maneuver.

The score stayed at 2-1 until the fourth, when Balzer homered hom-ered in Jeff Hammond to start a four-run rally. It saw Chase Ramsey and Adam Callas each single in a run. In the fifth, American Fork's Colby Zimmerman tripled into left, then scored on an error for the last Cardinal run.

While some players are attracting at-tracting plenty of attention, there are others who are out to prove themselves, maybe catch a coach's eye and show they could contribute on the college level. Summit libera Jessica Abegg, from Pleasant Grove, said while she received some letters from coaches prior to the tournament, tourna-ment, she's hoping to get a little more exposure to help her playing play-ing opportunities. "It's kind of nerve wracking," wrack-ing," she said. "I'm still thinking think-ing about it. Nice and kind of nervous." Not that it's hard to notice Abegg. Color mismatch "Why doesn't your uniform match?" It's a question Abegg hears all the time, and one she'll likely be hearing all through the high school season. A libera, Abegg wears a different dif-ferent color jersey than her teammates to distinguish her position on the court. "Everyone wants to know why," she said. "You have to explain to them we don't play front row, you just sit back there and touch balls." The libera, a position used in college and international matches match-es which will be allowed in Utah high school play this season, is a defensive player who only plays back row. The libera can't move up to the net to set or block and doesn't serve. But, to enter and exit the game doesn't use one of the team's limited number of substitutions either. While it's new to local high schools, club players are already al-ready used to the position and are happy for the change. "I always play back row, so I'd either be a DS or a libera because we have two," Abegg said. "I like it. I think it's a good idea. That way you don't have to use so many subs and things like that." Wood said, "It allows a passer pass-er to be in every rotation and be my best passer." Jeremiah Larsen, Summit's head coach, further elaborated.
