The young man, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Bybee of 582 Shamrock, will have expenses paid with the help of the Utah Golf association as he participates against teams from all 50 states. It was no easy task to earn the trip, however. Doug has to place among the top four junior golfers in the state this year by performing well in a host of tournaments. Point totals were kept with each high place worth a certain number of points. The four golfers with the most points qualified for the Junior Cup team. . Dougs total placed him third, two points out of second place and 10 to 15 out of first. His teammates in Mexico will be Tom Bashford and Shawn Woodland of Ogden and Kelly Kroon of Salt Lake City. Doug played in 50 to 60 tournaments this past summer, winning the Salt Lake City Parks, Ben Lomond, Billy Casper Junior Invitation and teaming with Brighamite Joel Kranz for the junior best ball at Riverside. The Nephi tournament trophy also came home to Brigham City. The seconds and thirds were too numerous to remember.

The pro circuit also holds an interest on him but thats a ways down the road. Kranz, Munk and Bybee travel to nearly all tournaments together, Doug said. Were all pretty even. Weve all won about as many tournaments as the other guy, he admitted. Munk was top old for the junior cup team this year or he might have made the trip, too. But he has other worries.

All youth and adults of the Brigham City area are invited to attend. regional golf tournament is scheduled to be held at the Brigham City course Saturday, Aug. 13, beginning at 11 An LDS n In the Salt Lake City Parks event, he had such a round. It was so good, in fact, he set a course record and left the old timers shaking their heads. On the front nine I didnt play that well. But I was hitting my approach shots close. And when you get your putter rolling good, they all go in, he said. The second nine started with a birdie on one. An eagle on two came on a 50 yard wedge shot. A par came on three and birdies on four and five. The fifth hole was almost an eagle when an approach shot hit the pin and stopped an inch from the cup. A par on six was followed by birds on seven and eight. A birdie shot on nine lipped out and Doug held in his hand a scorecard that read 29 for one round. The score tied the course record and was the lowest competitive round ever shot at Forest Dale. He finished eight under at 64, three strokes ahead of the nearest competitor. Dougs pace this summer has been something like this: To Ben Lomond one day, Riverside the next and Tooele the next day. Off to St. George for two or three days, back home, then off to Boise, Idaho the next day for another tournament. He averages two to four tournaments a week. The young golfer admits this has been his best year ever. His handicap has fallen from a six last year to four. Ive been playing pretty solid this year . . . you have to to accumulate all the points to make the America Cup team, he said. He practices four to eight hours a day. I hit practice balls hour after hour, he added. Bybee cant single out any one aspect of his game that has brought him into the top circles in Utah junior golf. He drives, putts and hits the approach shot with equal ease. And he can see the improvement each year. His sights are set on state medalist honors in the high school golf tournament next season.
