OF both, associations, plus a few guests, were involved in a two man best ball event which was won by a couple of golfers who play out of the Bountiful city course, Steven Nelson and Greg Welling were the two men who between them shot 29 under par. That means that all but seven of the 36 holes were birdied by the two men. Keep in mind that its the best score of the two that counts, so if one shoots a six on one hole and" the other a five, then the lower score is recorded. MEMBERS r T -- t .

I know its tough to feel sorry for a guy who makes all that money playing ball, but the bottom line is the players are human and deserve to be treated as such. People sdfeahem in the limelight, someone better oft than you or I, but we have something they dont, freedomJWe.can choose which team to play for, which citylo have our kids grow up in and we can choose when and if we want to move. The athletes Womens On June 9, 128 women golfers from various Utah clubs competed in the Davis Park Invitational Golf Tournament, lie winners were: anything else. With one vote this college guy can be m some of what he could in foreign land, making one-tent- h with guys during the season. the NBA. They toy and in a sign him to a ten-da- y They bring player contract to see what he can do. Who are they kidding, if the guy couldnt play why would they waste ten days to watch him ride the bench. I RECALL two years ago the big joke around contract town was to become a player with a ten-da- y ll about five players came for the Jazz. through twon on this type of arrangement and not one of them got to play more than two minutes in any game. Yet thats plenty of time for the guys in the frong office to tell them they arent good enough to play in their league. They pay the guy, but they really put him in a bind, because they just wasted ten days of his time. It seems the front office people do what they want to do and they tell everyone its for the good of the team. They want their players to be part of the community and to get people to like them, but they still have no hesitation about getting rid of them anywhere, anytime they want too if they feel ti helps the team. Ron Boone proved this fact. IM NOT down on the Jazz front office people anymore than the rest of the league, it just seems like the entire league asks for loyalty from their players; yet feel they owe their players nothing in return. Sure, they say its just a business like any other business, but in some cases thats not true. There arent many other jobs in the world like this one. Does a doctor read in the papers that he has just been transferred to another hospital for three nurses and an orderly to be named later. How about a plumber who hears on the six p.m. news that hes heading to New York in exchange for an accountant. ginia Whitney golf contest have supported a special colorectal screening program us- hole won three new balls for every dollar donated.

Sure there are some people who are somewhat secure in their place of employment but even those so called superstars are subject to change without notice. No one is immune. I REMEMBER years ago when George McGinnis was a great player and whichever team he played on wasnt about to let him go, but then age set in and he world. . was one ' No matter which way you look at it a professional athlete is for the most part nothing more than a piece of cattle. Some merchandise that can go as quick as it came. THE MAJORITY of professional athletes have no say in where they live or play. They are pawns in a big chess game played by the people in the front became expendable. Kareem Adul Jabar is probably the greatest to play the sport and the Lakers werent about to let him go, but all of a sudden the talk is that hes getting too old so his name is being dangled in front of everyone to see what takers there are. THE BIGGEST name nowadays seems to be a 25 Magic Johnson of the Lakers. The guy signed if some rich guy owner. with But, the contract year was' to offer the Lakersran arm and a leg, that they v wouldnt separate themselves from the Magic man. No one is expendable in the professional basketball SCOTT WENT on to add that this type of event all handicaps, both low and high, compete. The results show that the middle and high did better than the ones with low ones, he noted. Now the Bountiful mens association is gearing for their Chicago tournament to be held this Saturday. Under this format points are given for pars, birdies' and boogies according to a persons handicap. This way a low handicap guy will receive less points for a par than a high handicapper. The one with the most points win the event. THE ASSOCIATION also sponsors a weekly twilight affair every Thursday. beat out the second place team of Danny Miller and Steve Poulson by five shots. Both Miller and Poulson play out of Bountiful, Poulson just completed playing for the U. of U. and reports are hes playing as well as anyone these days. ; IN THIRD place, just one shot behind, was the , team of Fred Johnsen and Dave Jesperson who both play but of Davis.
