22 PROGRESS BULLETIN Pomona, California Sunday, January 30, 1977 Tee to Cup He finds fast course Anviiinrv prlprtif even Skating cycle begins smew in the 1976 Olympics, but Pnnn Suzic By PHIL ROCITC PB Staff Writer Ym gotta be kidding me when you talk about ladies playing slowly these days. I mean getting to the point where much rather play behind three girls hitting and walking than a foursome of guys who spray the ball all over the place and take five minutes to line upaputt cuz Jack Nicklaus takes his time. I seen it on TV. Well, for my money, put me behind two gals any time. Take the other day for instance.

1 was playing my monthly tournament between two pros this time it was Vic Regalado, the former Pomona Valley star, against none other than big Tom Weiskopf Course hitting both balls at Chino Creek late in the afternoon when all the good players are in the bar telling lies. On the second hole I spot these two ladies playing ahead of me, you see, and I moan to myself, no, because remember how slow women played in the 1940s. Well, those two gals played the 9 holes in ONE hour and 29 minutes, give or take a few seconds. hitting both halls down the middle about 170 every time and I can even catch up So when finished, I make a straigh line for the parking lot to find out their names, and1 to.toll them bow much I enjoyed playing behind them. Well, they were gooe when I putted out, clean jumped into their cars, started up the engine, and probably headed for home where they undoubtedly cooked up a fast dinner for their husband and the kids.

Row did the match come out? Great Regalado fired a superb 49 and Weiskopf was out of it with a 53. Vic sank a couple of beautiful putts. Both pros admitted, however, their games may have suffered trying to keep up with the ladies in front. Dorothy Cecchiai of Pomona won two trophies in the second annual tournament at the Pacific Coast Showmen Association held recently in Helendale. She hit the longest drive and was closest to the pin ona par 3 hole.

Louis A. Cecchini of Diamond Bar finished first in one of the Callaway flights. row previous Bob Hope Desert Classic winners will head the field of 128 pros in the 18th tournament set from Wednesday through Sunday, Feb. 9-12. Arnie Palmer, a five-time champ, will lead the pack, along with defending title-holder Johnny Miller Billy Casper, who won the Classic three times, and Hubert Green will also be on hand.

Four Palm Springs area courses Bermuda Dunes, Indian Wells, La Quinta and Tamarisk country clubs will host the event, which has raised more than $5 million for the Eisenhower Medical Center since 1960. A change in format for the PGA Tour qualifying school brings the early rounds closer to home. The first round will be held in the 39 PGA sections, with winners advancing to regional events, and then on to the national qualifying school. A change for the better then. Insteady of having 350 players arriving at one location and vieing for only 29 spots, the PGA can eliminate players closer to their home.

Eighty Ontario Elks will test the par 3 layout.

Sunset Dunes, in Colton today, according to Bill Brodie. pro and manager of the course. I dropped into the pro shop Thursday to look over the facilities and it looks like a fine layout, complete with traps, trees and trouble. The course, formerly called Sam Snead Golf plays to a par 57 and stretches 3,095 yardsjt an 18 holer naturally. All holes are par 3 except for 6th the llto and the 17th, which are par 4s.

They are listed at 275, 309 and 253 yards respectively. Looking for a short, interesting course for an Sunset, located at 1901 Valley Blvd. in Colton may be the answer. Talking about courses, I dropped in to chat with Dave Cink, Mountain Meadows head professional, recently he says the new layout is getting better We think we re going to have a real championship course here in a short says Cink. Latest report I have too is that the men club has been holding some outstanding tournaments.

A great many people are excited about the rapid development of the course and the and clute.Club champat Mountain Meadows interestingly is Pat Duffy, a han dicapper who plays crosshanded. never seen Duffy but those who have say he can really belt a golf Duffy, incidentally, won the club championship in both 1975 and Last Sunday he won the men club event by firing a 38-35 73. I was happy to learn that at least four school golf teams will use Mountain Meadows as their home course this spring Also have a report that Ganesha will field a team for the first time this year. Will track down the report. HARTFORD, Conn.

(AP) The year after an Olympics is considered an off-year for figure skating and other amateur sports. The top Olympic stars, not willing to devote another four years of skating for just sweat, are very willing to sign lucrative pro contracts. With the older more experienced stars skating for money, the younger athletes move into the spotlight, hoping to build successes that will lead to the 1980 Olympics and the 1981 ice shows. The new cycle begins this week with the U.S. Figure Skating Championships here, Feb.

2-6. Gone is 1976 senior champion Dorothy Ha mill of nearby Riverside, whose residence now is anywhere the Ice Capades freezes its water. Miss Hamill parlayed years of dedication and the Olympic gold medal into a fat pro contract. Also gone is last year senior titlist, Terry Kubicka, who finished seventh at the Innsbruck Games but delighted the crowd with his back flips. He also turned pro.

The departures of Miss Hamill and Kubicka leave wide-open ice for the more than 140 competitors who will be competing for national titles and the chance to represent the U.S. in March at the World Figure Skating Championships in Tokyo. The competitors get here by finishing in the top three positions in one of three sectional competitions or by finishing in the first three places in last years national championships. Linda Fratianne of Los Angeles, who was second in the 1976 nationals, is favored to replace Miss Hamill as queen of the American skaters. Miss Fratianne, 17, is a crowd- pleasing freestyle skater has been working this year on her compulsory figures.

She finished eighth in the 1976 Olympics, but was fifth in the freestyle. At the nationals, the compulsory figures, a tedious session of tracing figure eights, count for 30 pier cent. A disciplined short-form program makes up 20 per cent, while a longer free skating program counts for 50 per cent of the total, which then determines the final rankings. Wendy Burge of Los Angeles, third in the 1976 nationals and sixth in the Olympics, and sectional Williams in meet LOS ANGELES (AP) Sprinter Steve Williams, coholder of the record for 100 meters, will make his 1977 debut next week when he competes against a crack field in the dash at the Times Indoor games. Williams, who was injured last year and failed to make the U.S.

Olympic team, informed meet directors his leg injury had healed that he had been working out and that be ready for the Feb. 4 meet at the Forum He said he had been working on his start a critical aspect of short dashes like the 60 and felt ready to resume his spot as the top sprinter in the world. have a chance to prove it against some of the best. Also entered in the 60 are Olympic cham- pion Hasely Crawford of Trinidad. Olympic silver medalist Donald Quarrie of Jamaica and last year schoolboy sensation Houston McTear.

Also scheduled to compete in the meet was the world record holder in the high jump, Dwight Stones, against his conquerer at the 1976 Olympics, Jacek Wszola of Poland. winners Priscilla Hill of Winchester, Suzie Brasher of Salt Lake City and Kathy Gelecinsky of Colorado Springs are also highly touted. David Santee of Park Ridge, 111. finshed second in last nationals and is favored to move up one spot. Sixth at Innsbruck, Santee is expected to get tough competition from Scott Cramer and sectional winners Charles Tickner of Denver, Mahlon Bradley of Boston and John Carlow of Las Vegas.

In the pairs competition, defending champions Randy Gardner and Tai BabiIonia are back, fresh from an impressive fifth- place finish in the Olympics. Gardner is an 18- year-old freshman at the University of Southern California and Miss Babilonia is a 18-year-old high school student. The 1976 Olympics was their spotlight to amateur fame. If they keep skating, the 1980 Olympics might be their springboard to pro success. A sale that saves you money before you buy- On a car hat saves you money after.
