SOFTBALL BL. Playoff decides tourney Diony McArthur beat Diane McAfee on the second hole of a sudden- death playoff Sunday to win the District 4 women’s zone hip at the R, golf course in Nelson. The two Castlegar players were tied at 160 after two rounds and both bogeyed the first playoff hole. The championship was decided when McArthur parred the second extra hole while McAfee, the tournament’s defending champion, bogeyed. McArthur held a five-shot lead over McAfee with nine holes to go before McAfee made the charge to pull even. McArthur left Monday for Victoria where she'll play in the B.C, Women’s Amateur which begins today at the Gorge Vale Golf and Country Club. Nelson fastballers win cash While Castlegar teams were busy knocking each other off in the Midway Invitational fastball tournament last weekend, their league rivals, the Nelson Athletics went on to win the whole thing. Banjo’s Pub, the Cast} Merch and the Athletics of the Castlegar Men’s Fastball League all made it to the final six in the 12-team tourney and then were forced to play each other in the crucial games. Banjo’s knocked the Merchants out of the money on the final Fans don't worry Watson SOUTHPORT, England (AP) ~ Tom Watson has too many sweet memories of Royal Birk- dale, too many hopes of winning a sixth British Open to worry about American-bashing by fans. This is where Watson won his fifth British title in 1983, the undulating links course that’s so enraptured him with its hospi- tality that he praised England as “the last civilized country left in the world.” He is a worldly 41 now and his fondness for the land hasn't changed. No matter that there is talk of British fans ragging American players this year in retaliation for the way Scotsman Ian Woos- nam was treated at the Masters. Watson heard the oorish taunts by American fans that so infuriated Woosnam as the two dueled through the final holes at Augusta, Ga., in April. Watson consoled his rival, told him to ignore the fans, then watched as Woosnam won. It seemed only fair. Another Brit, Nick Faldo, made a similar gesture of sportsmanship eight Veteran is seeking his sixth British Open title years ago, telling Watson to ignore the cheers of British fans when he made a poor shot. Wat- son listened and went on to win. If some fans want toot against Americans this year, breaching the etiquette of a sport that retains so much of its genteel heritage, Watson insists he won't let it bother him: “The game is bigger than that,” he said simply. More important to Watson was his quest to tie Harry Var- don’s record of six British cham- pionships. “I would love to tie it,’ Watgon said after his practice round Tuesday. “Internally, I feel I can win the tournament. I haven't won since 1987 and some critics say I can’t win again, but I am not here to finish second. I am here to win.” Queen Victoria was still on the throne when Vardon won his first title in 1896, Vardon won his last title 18 years later. Watson won his first British Open in 1975, and 16 years later he’s playing well enough to do it again. He came close to winning his third Masters a few months ago, but is rated a 33-1 shot by the touts to win the 120th British Open on Sunday. Watson didn’t always have a love affair with Br links courses. In face, even after win- ning his first one at Carnoustie, Scotland, it took him several years to overcome his initial dis- like and understand how to play them. “I didn’t like the bouncy, hard types of run-in shots you had te play,” he |. “I preferred to play by the yardages.” His conversion began when he won at Turnberry, Scotland in 1977, and was confirmed when he ran a ball up short and made an eagle in a losing effort at Royal Lytham, England in 1979. “I said, ‘This is the game.’ There's some feel, there’s imagi- nation involved there,” he said. In a way, it was like return- ing to his roots, “It has something to do with the way I originally learned how to play the game,” he said. “When I was a little kid, you'd bump-and-run it on the greens . . . When you had to go carry over something, that was a hole you thought about the whole round.” FOR THE RECORD A story in the June 22 Castlegar News stating that the Okee Dokees slo-pitch team was the best local team in a the Metaline Falls Can-Am slo- pitch tournament was erro- neous. The Okee Dokees were not the best local team in the tournament and a news release issued by the club said nothing to indicate that they were. THE NUMBERS.

The Athletics lost their first game of the tourney then won six straight, including a 6-2 win over the Rutland Rovers in the final, on the way to a $1,000 first-place pay day. It was a little revenge for the Athletic against Rutland who were the only team to beat Nelson in the tournament. Kelowna had three entries in the tournament while other teams came from Penticton, Vernon and the hosts from Mid- way.
