If an to opponent hits the ball then it must be exactly in the middle of the course heading in the direction of the hole, a measuring tape is needed and used. If it is my ball then the fairway is anywhere my ball comes to rest that a herd of cow s are not crazing near. If my opponent drives the green then obviously he is not in the fairway. I never have to worry about this. Remember too the longest drive is off on all par three holes. observe. BOUNTIFUL For about a month or so now a new game of golf has been introduced to certain golfers w hich is referred to in many different ways. SOME CALL it others it as No matter what the official name is there have been no official rules written on this game. Since the rules are a major part of any sporting event this reporter felt it wise to write dow n the rules for everyone to By DAVE WIGHAM I always thought that Salt Lake played some know pretty good slow pitch softball but this past weekent many eyes were opened to the real world. THE BASICS of the game are as follows. Points, or beans, are given for the longest drive, first on the green, closest to the pin, longest putt and finally for the low score on the hole. Sounds easy to follow, however here is where it all gets downright mean. THE LONGEST drive must remain in the fairway, which means the one to the hole to which you are shooting. What Kaysville city will enter teams im the Wasatch Front Football League this year. Each team will carry approximately 30 squad members. The age and weight requirements and team designations are as follows: THESE GUYS from California and Arizona were something else. to watch. They added a new demin-sio- n to the sport, many teams hit well but dont field, these guys could, and many have, play in the major AGE max. weight. 75 105 90 lbs.; lbs.; 125 lbs. lbs.; League rules require a birth certificate copy be attached to applications.

And this guy isnt that big either, they simply hit the you know what out of the ban. The number two ranked club in the nation was in this years tournament, Capitol Insulation of California, another California team beat them 0 on Sunday afternoon. MORE HOMERUNS were hit in this one game than the Cottonwood Complex has seen all year. Not just homeruns that clear the 265 foot fances but tape measure shots around the 350 foot mark. In two games against great opposition Sunrise Plumbing of California hit for over 100 runs, 62 in one game and then 42 in the next one, and they didnt win the tournament. UNIVERSAL Campers of Arizona, undoubtedly the best earn ever to play in the state, won the event. Everyone of their players hit the ball hard and could win Golden Gloves in their fielding endeavors. Their third baseman played on the grass, which is where some outfielders play, which made many feel he couldnt throw out a fast runner. In their first game one of the fastest players in Salt Lake hit this guy a ground ball and he easily threw the speedster out by three steps at first. No question about this guys cannon for an arm. THE OUTFIELDERS all threw ropes, no one tested them. All seriousness folks these guys could spot any team in Utah 40 runs and catch them in the second inning. It was a shame that the crowds were small, these 1 guys could really open up some eyes in these parts. know they certainly humbled the metro teams from Salt Lake City that thought they were good. Btfl. Course Offers Mental Game Of Golf ONE ASPECT of this course the mental game that it can For play on the average golfer. some reason the layout man, who ever disigned the thing, must have had a sense of humor that very few understand. What this guy did was is make the first two opening a holes, either No. lor No. 10, for everyone. mental test Consider the fact that number one is a par five, many of the golfers feel this should be a birdie hole, and if they don t think about get the birdie they next the it for eight holes and it has a tendency to offect the entire round. Get a par and the himslef but golfer can live with a bogey will ruin the round. . SAME IS true with the num-ber 10 hole which is a straight Howevpar four, not to long. and on forest a is left the on er, is a chain link fence the -- right which protects unsuspecting cars from golf balls. A straight first shot is vital, also almost impossible for some of us. Again a birdie brightens up the day, a par is acceptable and a bogey plays mental ggames on the golfer the rest of the way. If one can block out these first two scores, if needed, then the rest of the round is great. ' ONCE ON the course the golfer gets a chance to use every club in his bag, hopefully a chainsaw is part of that gear. If offers short par 3s which require a seven iron or above to reach, and long ones which require a cannon to reach. Par four holes are different, some short that even the old hacker has a good shot at a birdie and some that are longer that Tom Watson would feel good about getting a birdie. THE PAR five holes seem to be the key to the course to some people. Get birdies on these holes and the scorecard is looking gootj, get above par and that same card is looking for the nearest garbage can. A par is very acceptable, especially to the mind. Water doesnt come into play on this course but they more than made up for tat with the location of some of their trees. You can live with those on the left side of the fairways, after all who would hook a ball , but whoever put those on the left where us great golfers who happen to slice once in a while go should be shot. EVERYTHING considred this course is indeed one of the best around, the view is great, the course is in good condition, n Scott Whittaker and Jeff hare helpful and friendly and the course is a good test of Jer-ma- skil. And luck. idiot ruined the game and decided to give a couple of points to the low score on the hole. Big deal if you've already played the game right then you get-tin- have four or five points closest. anvwav THERE ARE some experts at this game. People you want to stay away from. This is a game that is suppose to help out the hacker against a good golfer. The trouble starts w hen four hackers go after each other in this contest. SAME IS true of the longest putt. If the longest putt by an opponent is ten feet and you are thirt y feet aw ay you may as well hit the ball a couple of times to get ten feet one inch away before you try for the point. shoulder pads, pants, game jersey and mouth piece.

Many times outsiders have referred to this public course as the best such facility in the state. THE VIEW from the tees and greens of the valley below is something to behold and the course itself is well kept by the greens people at the scene. As far as the actual golfing aspect this course can be very kind or it could get downright ugly at times. A good shot is well rewarded just as a bad shot is trouble. All this results in high scores, which is why some green then one has to determine just which ball is closest to the hole. There fore, if you don't win the point for first on you may as well take a few strokes in sneaking up on the e green to assure yourself of 10-1- THESE GUYS from California and Arizona were something else to watch. They added a new demen-sio- n to the sport, many teams hit well but dont field, these guys could, and many have played in the major leagues. Consider the facts. Going into this years tournament the most homeruns hit in the event was 18, most runs batted in were 35 and the highest batting average for the two day affair was around. 850. This pitcher from California hit for an incredible .912 average, hit 33 homeruns and drove in 52 runs in seven games. Bountiful BOUNTIFUL city added some pride and beauty to their credit when FIRST ON the green is simply that, whoever hits his ball so it comes to rest on the putting surface. Again keep in mind I in might putt from front of the pin, might even by An opponent though must be on the mowed surface. Some confuse this rule about first on, 1 have seen some golfers actually wait and watch their opponents hit first, this is no game for manners, first on means that. Run to your ball and hit and get on first.

Small in stature but big on heart and desire Chris returned to Bountiful last week with a national championship to his credit. EVEN W HEN told of his accomplishments some people couldnt believe it was the same, "little Chris that I used to throw around and who would still be back for more guy that they grew up with and knew. Chris has worked hard at his wrestling abilities and last week in Nebraska those long hours paid off. All Chris did was place first in the nation in the freestyle competition and then placed second in the nation in the Grecgo Roman event. The difference in the two is that in freestyle anything goes, which suits Chris, while the other event one can not use the legs for anything.. THE WRESTLERS were divided into weights and ages with Chris going in the 98 pound elite class, which meant Each wrestler had ages to go through a state and zone meet to get to the national event. Chris won both the freestyle and Roman even in the state and then in the zone tournament in Colorado he placed first in the Roman event but due to a lock of competitors in his age weight group for the freestyle he moved up a weight class to 104 pounds and placed fourth. However once he got to the nationals he stayed with his weight and age and won the honors. 16-1- THE NATIONALS were a five day afair with the first two days devoted to the Roman event with the freestyle taking up the final three days of the event. Chris noted that he wrestled people from Washington, Florida, Oklahoma and Nebraska.

THIS PAST year at View-moChris came into his own and with the help of his coach Steve Sanderson he began to really get serious about this sport. These two have a mutual respect for each other, Hes helped an says Chris awful lot with me, taught me everything including his style which helped. He pushed me when I needed it and encouraged me a lot, really hes more like a brother to me than a coach. Steve is just as proud of his pupil as he was the first to call in about his students accomplishments with the pride of a father. CHRIS LOOKED at his experience at the nationals as a learning experience, just watching those guys really helped me. One guy there was a five time world champion, not just national, to watch him was a privilege and something I wont forget. I even got to talk to him about how to get mentally ready for a match, he was extremely helpful. Speaking of helpful how will this help Chris this year at Viewmont, "It give me a lot of confidence that I can get the that I want. Plus the freestyle event state championship is a lot like high school wrestling so just the experience of having stayed with wrestling all summer helps out. com-paionsh- DELIGHTS HEIR July 16-1- 7 was an extremely gratifying time at the Snake River Valley Horse Show held at Blackfoot, Idahos beautiful fairgrounds.
