Usually it's just a few diehard players on a shortened course. But those few always turn into many and before long the course is open and Mickey's Calcutta has arrived. The calcutta is the first official tournament of the season at the Castlegar and District Golf Course and 104 players on 26 teams were dust- ing off their clubs last Saturday and Sunday. The tournament has been around for a long time and was started by Mickey Carlson, a resident of Nelson. It takes the format of a four-man scramble with a shotgun start and it is always played the last weekend in April The teams were split into two divisions - the Championship Flight and the Consolation Flight. The winners of the top flight was the team captained by Grant Apostolik with Nick Ogloss, Norm Higgins and Kelly Johnson. They had a total score of 19-under par. Two teams ended up tied at 18-under in the race for second place and they were forced to go to a sudden death playoff hole, The winner of that hole was the team of Brian Polovnikoff, Dick Wayling, Russ Rilcof and Bill Pottle ‘Sr.. The third place team was made up of Kevin Kirby, Roger Plani, Neil Austin and Jim Beatty. The teams in the consolation flight also ended up close with Brian Turlock’s team of Ken Gorkoff, Frank Holdsworth and Ben Thor-Larsen. They shot 20-under par second place team of Pat rrand and Andy Shutck fin- ished 19-under and placed second They were followed by the team of Randy Kirby, Kirby Wayling, Bill Lunn and Mark Fish- leigh who shot 18-under par. “It was the most successful Mickey's Cal- Cutta.in ten years,” said Castlegar assistant pro Kevin Biln. “The participation and the mem- bers’ involvement made it a real good time.” Do you slice the ball? If you do, you are not among the elite. In fact, the majority of people that play golf slice the ball. Before we try to cure your slice, you should understand what causes the slice. The slice is caused by the inability of the hands and arms to “square the clubface”, therefore the clubface is “open” to the target when it meets the ball. It’s that simple, if you can square the clubface to your target, you will get rid of your slice. Squaring the clubface is done with the hands and arms. Here are a few drills to help you get your hands and arms moving through the impact area. 1. Split grip teaches correct release—this drill teaches you to rotate your hands and arms on the downswing so the club is square when it meets the ball. Using a 7 iron, take your grip so there are several inches of space between your hands. Now make a series ‘of Practice swings with your hands reaching only to hip level on the back swing and fol- low through. Through impact try to feel the right hand crossing over the left. To visualize this sensation, note the position of the toe of the club at the top of the back swing. It should be pointing skyward. Now note where the toc is pointing at the completion of the follow through. If your right hand crossed over the left correctly, the toe of the club should again be pointing at the sky. Remember you are only taking the club back and through to hip level for this drill. 2. Back to target drill—an important step to curing your slice is becoming familiar with the swing sensations that produce a draw.

Using.a seven iron, assume your normal address position with the ball teed. Now turn your feet and body so they are aligned 45 degrees to the right of your target. Now your back is facing the target. Keeping your clubface facing the target, hit several balls from this position, swinging along the lines established by your body. Note also the tendency for your arms and hands to rotate through the ball. Do this for a time, and then are your ali while i the inside swing path and rotational action with your arms and hands. These are just two of many drills that could help you get rid of that dreaded slice. For more information or help with your game please con- tact your local CPGA Professii Have a eka golfing. Darkling beetles Pest Remedies #8 * Darkling beetles are. mostly scavengers that feed on dead or decaying vegetation, although some feed on cereals, flour, dog food, dried fruit and living plants. Contused flour beetle adults are oblong flat, reddish brown, and about 3 mm long. They move rapidly when disturbed, but cannot fly. The larvae resemble wireworms. Measuring up to 5 mm long, they are brownish white with a darker head and a pair of slender processes on the posterior. Confused flour beetles are either intro- duced into homes with infested material, or attracted there by the presence of available food and an appealing environ- , ment. They are best discouraged by sanitary and other precautionary measures.
