Fresh, clean air, sunshine,
exercise.

“At times it doesn’t really feel
like I’m working,” said Denny
McArthur, resident pro at the
Castlegar and District Golf
Club.

A BORING

PROJECT

A Toronto-area
company will
design and build
a giant tunnel-
boring machine
for CN North
America’s new
railway tunnel
between Sarnia,
Ont. and Port
Huron, Mich., CN
announced
Wednesday.
Lovat Tunnel
Equipment was
selected over
German,
Japanese and
Austrian bids for
the project,
valued at about
$15 million and
scheduled for
delivery in early
1993.

19 ns now.

“I came to Castlegar thinking
it would be nice to get out of
Vancouver for a couple of
years,” said McArthur, “And I
just stayed.

“The people here are friendly,
there’s not that hairy pace of
Vancouver, and [ get four
months off in the winter to do
whatever I want.”

McArthur’s winter holiday
was cut a little short this year
by the beautiful spring weather.

“We started playing golf last
Saturday,” he said, adding that
the golf Gods must be smiling
on Castlegar.

“This is the earliest I can
remember opening up the Club.
Usually we open for the last few
days of March.”

Currently, nine holes are
open, but McArthur hopes to
have all 18 in playing condition
by the weekend.

McArthur, now 48, doesn’t
remember an age when he
didn’t play golf.

In fact, he turned
professional before he

graduated from his Vancouver
high school.

“I wasn’t even allowed for my
high school team,” said
McArthur, “because I wasn’t
eligible to play in amateur
tournaments.”

He managed to get over the
disappointment.

“J trained for five years at the
Glen Eagles Golf Club in North
Vancouver, and there I learned
all aspects of being a golf pro —
buying, accounting, teaching,
etiquette — you name it.”

And, while still in his youth,
McArthur began to give indoor
golf lessons.

“It was winter, so we lined up
and hit balls into a canvas
sheet,” he said.

“It was better than nothing.”

If whacking balls into a
heavy sheet is better than
nothing, then the Castlegar and

Denny McArthur has his sights set on yet another successful year at the Castlegar and District Golf Club.

District Golf Club must be
heavenly.

“It’s a beautiful course,” said
McArthur.

“We have a great reputation
for being a mountain golf course
with 18 distinct holes.”

And reputation is important
for a course which relies heavily
on tourism.

“I would say that over half of
our revenue comes from tourist
dollars,” said McArthur.

“So to keep the tourists
coming in, we are forced to be
competitive.”

And being competitive means
keeping up with change.

It’s easy to see that this is not
the same nine-hole, sand-green
golf course that opened up in
1955. :

“This club was once a
doukhobor farm and mill —
these nine holes were literally
hacked out of the bush:” said
McArthur.

“Now we have 18 beautiful
holes, a $500,000 watering
system that made a great water
hazard,.a restaurant where you
can relax and have lunch, and
we're always busy upgrading.”

One thing that McArthur
wishes he could spend more
time upgrading is his golf
swing.

“People think that the pro
does nothing but. golf,” he said,
“but I’m lucky if I get out once a
week.

“This is a dawn to dusk job.”

Some people might think that
you would have to work dawn to
dusk just to finance a golf habit,
but McArthur says that isn’t so.

“Our initiation fee amounts
to less than one month’s worth
of cigarettes,” said the one time
smoker.

So McArthur suggests that
everyone quit smoking and take
up golf.

“It’s a better habit anyway,”
he said.

And for less than the price of
two packs of smokes, kids from
the ages of seven to 19 can have
six golf lessons.

“For 12 bucks, we supply a
kid with clubs and a qualified
instructor,” said McArthur.

“I get a lot of satisfaction in
helping a kid start out in golf.”

And who knows. There might
be one or two potential golf pros
out there.

So if you want to enjoy the
fresh, clean air and sunshine
while: you exercise, head up to
the Castlegar and District Golf
Club. :

It won't even feel like you’re
working.
