The Brandon Sun from Brandon, Manitoba, Canada • Page 6

THE BRANDON SUN, Thursday, July 1W2 bill davidson July 18 is a special day. Besides celebrating my 19th birthday for the 10th time, 36 of the top pros on the Canadian golf tour will stop off for 18 holes at the Brandon Golf and Country Club. It's called a pro-am, and it's Brandon's first ever. It will feature pros along the lines of Moe Norman and John Elliott, and it will come close on the heels of Dauphin's second pro-am, slated for July 17. There seems to be some confusion in the area as to exactly what a pro-am is all about.

Therefore, to steal a page from John Mayhew my own version of Question Period. And, like the regular information column on page 2, these questions are legit. What exactly is a pro-am, and how does it work? It's a four-man team event featuring one pro and three amateurs on each team. Worked off a handicap basis, "the low score on each hole is the one that counts. Simply stated, it's a best-ball event.

Wanted: Duffers! I'd like to play in a pro-am, but I'm just not a goad enough golfer. I'd just embarrass myself and ruin some pros' chances trf winning. Don't you think I'd be better just to watch? You don't have to be a Jimmy King, or a Bob Cornell, or a Don McNeil, or even a Bruce Penton to be helpful in a pro-am. In fact, the guy who usually does the most for his team, is a 26 or 30 handicapper. The average high handicapper doesn't shoot in the 100s because he goes double bogey on every hole.

He usually pars a few, then scores a 10 or 12. But, on the holes he pars, he could be getting two strokes. That's an eagle on the card, and that's what, championship teams are made of. As for the holes he falls to pieces on, somebody else has to pull the load once in a while. How are the learns arranged? Ideally, and to make ii fair for the entire field, each team should stack up this way: 1.

the pro; 2. a low handicapper (say 3 to 9): It. a middle handicapper ill) to 20); and a high handicapper (20 or over). It's for this very reason that a successful tournament demands that at least one-quarter of the field could be referred to as "duffers." I'm interested, but there's a big problem. I don't play out of a regular club, and therefore I don't have an accredited handicap.

Does this make me ineligible? In some tournaments of this nature, you could be ruled ineligible. Bui local pro Rich Bull says that if you've played at least five games this year, he'll figure out your handicap. Although it won't be KW-per-cetil-accui'ate, it will be good enough for (he one-day tournament. In a regular tournament you How does prize list work in a pro-am? There could be variations, but in the Brandon pro-am, the pros have two chances to win money. They have an individual section (the 12 low shooters receive pay cheques), and a team section lop i Amateurs, meanwhile, compete in the team section only.

This means that, should an amateur get into trouble on a given hole, he should pick up his ball, thus ensuring faster play for the entire field. It won't hurt your team unless everybody gets in trouble on the same hole, which is highly unlikely. If you want a calculated guess, the top team should finish to 17 under par for the 13 holes. The real prize Although it isn't listed, the biggest prize could be the help you'll receive from "your" professional. Last, year at Dauphin 1 had the privilege of playing on the same team as John Elliott.

He cares enough about, people and enough about the lour to realize thai, the amateurs who follow the pros are his bread and butler. Because of this, it was not only an enjoyable round of goif, it was very informative. Further details may be obtained by contacting Bull at the pro shop of the BGCC. Rut hurry! There are only 108 spots open for amateurs and almost half of them have already been spoken for. Big Blue roars back and ties Argos TORONTO (CP) Don Jonas moved Winnipeg Blue Bombers to two last-quarter touchdowns and a 14-14 tie with Toronto Argonauts in a Canadian Football League exhibition game Wednesday night.

The former Toronto quarterback stunned a crowd of fans with a virtuoso performance in the game's dying momenls, marching the Bombers 85 yards in seven plays for Winnipeg's first score with little more than five minutes remaining and capitalizing on a third-down gamble with' 31 seconds left to tie the score. Ed Williams carried the ball over for the first Winnipeg touchdown from eight yards out and Paul Williams took a three-yard Jonas pass for with the quarterback converting both. Until a Winnipeg offence rolling, the Argos appeared in firm command of their first exhibition appearance of the year. With Joe Theismann and Greg Bra ton alternating at quarterback, they came out of the scoreless opening quarter deep in Winnipeg territory, led 10-0 at halftime, picked up another three points in the third quarter and bad just padded their lead to 14-0 in the fourth when Jonas ignited the first Winnipeg drive. Winnipeg 14 Toronto 14 British Columbia 31 Saskatchewan 23 Edmonton 18 Calgary 14 Theismann tossed a 34-yard pass l.o Bill Symons for the only To I touchdown.

Zenon Anclrusyshyn kicked three singles and a convert and Ivan MacMillan contributed a 21-yard field goal. For all Winnipeg's offensive heroics, Argonaut miscues played a vital part in the Bomber comeback. A pass 'interference call against Ward Smith, a rookie defensive back, gave Winnipeg a 31-yard gain to ignite their first scoring drive and a Toronto offside kept it alive after Jonas was thrown for a two-yard loss on a third- down gamble. Two more penalties blunted the next Argonaut, offensive and another call for rough play gave Winnipeg three cracks at the tying touchdown from four yards out. The Argos held Mack Herron to two yards and knocked down a Jonas pass to Louis Scott before the Bomber quarterback found his man open on the third-down play.

The Argos held an over-all margin statistically with a Twi-night doubleheader Brandon Cloverleafs' manager, Bob Thompson (left), and his Minot Merchant counterpart, Larry Muralore, will herd their respective Manitoba Senior Baseball League teams into Kinsmen Stadium tonight. It's an infrequent twi- night 'doubleheader with the opening game set a 6:30 start. Eleswhere. Souris Cardinals play host to Riverside Canucks. That game starts at 7.

Prophet Graham predicts again FORT ERIE. Ont. (CP) Dsve Graham, the Australian who won his first PGA victory at the Cleveland Open last weekend, decided at the same time he wasn't much of a prophet. "1 said before Cleveland it would take at least 10 under par, but then I won with only six under so I'm not really much for forecasting winning scores." said the 26-year-old veteran of the international circuit, who includes among, his national titles the French Open (1970 and Japanese Open (1971). But he gave it another try as he prepared Wednesday for today's start of the Canadian open golf championship which concludes after 72 holes Sundav.

"With all the good players here, you can be sure that 10 to 14 under will win i Graham predicted. "Somebody will perform to his best effort to win by thai Then again, Graham had only played Ihe back nine al Ihe -time and had not yet sampled the three toughest holes on the fi.751-yard. layout--Nos. seven, eight and nine.

Eric Guthrie, the fourth Lions quarterback on the roster, got on the field only in a punting role.

The other Lions' touchdown was scored by Larry Highbaugh a second-year a who took a reverse handoff from fullback Jim Evenson and ran 90 yards down the sideline. Ted Gerela kicked a 27-yard field goal and convered all four touchdowns. Rookie light end Bill took an 11-yard pass from Junck to give the- Riders a brief lead in the second quarter.

However, in the final 30 minutes the Slampeders got points and put on a defensive and offensive performance similar to thai displayed by Edmonlon in the first half. Gene Foster and Sam Scarber each scored a touchdown for Ihe Eskimos, both on rushing plays. Dave Cutler converted both TDs, booted a 43-yard field and a 80-yard single on a wide field goal attempt. For the Stampeders, defending Grey Cup champions, halfback Jesse Mims put them on the Scoreboard midway through the third quarter with a 42-yard touchdown run after taking a handoff from Jerry Keeling.

Gary Kerr, a rookie wide receiver, narrowed the margin in the fourth quarter on a B7-yard pass and run play engineered by sophomore quarterback Jim Lindsey. Larry Robinson converted both touchdowns.

Russians want SPORTSWORD written apology A I A Bobby Fischer apologized Wtdnesday for delaying the start of "the world championship chiss match, but the Russians demanded apologies in i i President Max Euwe of the International Chess Federation admitted he had made some mistakes and suggested a further postponement until next, week for the dust to settle.

Euwe said he had allowed Fischer's tardy arrival--he got here Tuesday--because "Fischer is quite another person." Euwe said he realized lillcholdcr Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union was "very upset" and would likV to give him a week before the first game. Fischer's holdout for more money brought the prizes for both winner and loser to the highest amount ever in world championship chess. The winner will get $231,250 and the. loser $108,750. The 24-game scries between Spassky and the 29-year-old American challenger was to have begun last Sunday.

It was put off for I wo days because of Fischer's holdout, then delayed until today by Soviet objections to the American's conduct. Euwe admitted Wednesday he had violated the rules in allowing delays in the starting date, and promised strict rule enforcement from now on. He then suggested the her postponement and said I lie match may even have to be split info parts to avoid conflict with the world chess Olympiad set to begin in September at Skopje, Yugoslavia. The first apology of (he day was made in Fischer's name on the demand of Spassky, who said the American's conduct, had "insulted me personally and the country I represent." Fischer said he was sorry "he had caused any trouble for Spassky. whom he repocted as a man and admiro.d as a chess player.

The Russians, unsalisficd, demanded his excuses in writing. In addition to Fischer's written apologies, the Soviets wanted Euwe to condemn UK; A i a conduct a accept blame for violating rules of i ho I a i a Chess Federation. This happened at news See the Number 1 Japanese BRANDON TOYOTA 1.1th and Princess conference called by Yefim. Geller, the Soviet grandmaster acting as Spa.ssky's second. Speaking for the absent world champion, Geller said Spassky would return home if the demands were not met.

Geller spoke hours after Fischer had declared he was sorry. Oul of the packed audience in a hotel bar stepped Euwe, a tall, 71-year-old Dutchman and former world chess champion. He made his way to the speaker's table, and sat down at Gcller's right. Euwe said he condemned Fischer, conceded he had broken the rules and added: "I apologize." Asked by a whether the Russians were satisfied. Geller said they wanted it all in writing.
