CASTLEGAR SLOW PITCH LEAGUE WIND-UP DANCE FRI., JUNE 30 9 p.m. to la.m. COMMUNITY COMPLEX ARENA LIVE MUSIC BY: ECLIPSE started things off with a bang. First baseman Clay Liber hit a grand slam in Banjos first game to send them on their way to the final Hi Arrow wasn’t so fortunate Following an opening-game loss, the team rebounded with a big win to ad- vance to the semi-final game. But the road ended there as they dropped the match to Osoyoos. A bases-loaded walk enabled Banjos to escape a semi-final encounter with a 1-Ovictory over Little Rock However, the championship game was anything but a walk for the two teams competing. Banjos and the Kelowna Rangers battled for 11 in- nings under the sun before deciding a winner. The three-hour marathon en ded when the Rangers scored their runner from second to go home with an 8-7 win Banjos players were rewarded for their efforts with a cheque for $400 for second place “Upon reviewing our organization and realizing the challenge that lies ahead to defend the Stanley Cup, we came to the conclusion we could solidify our chance by making . . . our front office and coaching staff a lot stronger,’’ general manager Cliff Flet- cher told a news conference. The biggest promotion went to assistant coach Doug Risebrough, who will replace Al MacNeil as assistant general manager. Risebrough, 35, became Crisp’s assistant two years ago when he retired after five seasons with the Flames. After 16 years in the league, he has five Stanley Cup rings — one with the Flames and four from his years in Montreal in the mid- 1970s. MacNeil becomes vice-president of * hockey operations, a new position just under general manager Cliff Fletcher His work will remain largely un- changed — formulating policies and strategy for the team The new assistant coach is Paul Bax ter, known for his rough-and-tumble style in his eight years as a player with Quebec, Pittsburgh and the Flames. He finished his playing career with the Flames before moving on to coach Calgary's farm team, the Salt Lake City Eagles, two years ago. Baxter led the Eagles to the International Hockey League championship in his first year and to the finals this year Golf Tips by WAYNE GAMBORSKI and DENNY McARTHUR Before we mention the characteristics of metal woods versus the traditional wood, let us mention the differences between materials used in construction of irons. ‘Most of you are familiar with stainless steel, as most golf clubs have been made with 17-4 or 431 stainless, With the advent of technology, there have been many other materials made available to the golf industry. One of the more popular materials is beryllium copper which was used by accident in the Ping plant, manufacturing aircraft parts. The beryllium Copper is 10 per cent heavier than stainless, which results in an emphasis of the playability of the golf club, as determined by design. What all this means is that in the cavity back designs of today where the centre of gravity is low in the blade, the individual is able to hit the ball higher. Beryllium copper will emphasize the design, lowering the centre of gravity even more, making it easier to strike the ball even higher. However, in club fitting we have a balancing act, a series of trade- offs. To gain the ability to strike the ball higher using beryllium copper, we will sacrifice club head speed as the weight of the golf club has in- creased At the other end of the design spectrum, we have graphite and graphite composites which are lighter than steel. The lighter weight of the club head will enable the golfer to swing the golf club faster resulting in in- creased yardage. Graphite will be the next wave in the golf industry because of its high strength, light weight and limitless design capabilities. We are just at the beginning of this new era as is evident by the products currently on the market and increased awareness will make it economically feasible to produce an excellent golf club at an affordable price. Good luck and good golfing Congratulations to Brian DeBiasio of Nelson in winning the Zone One West Championship in a sudden-victory play off over Trail’s Dan Dupuis. Brian and Dan have earned the honor of representing our zone in the B.C. Amateur to be played July 19 - 22 at Birchbank and Castlegar Golf Clubs. The Jim Young Red Cross Celebrity Golf Tournament is scheduled for Thursday, July 27. Enter before June 30 to be eligible for the early bird draw of a set of Hogan Series 56 woods. which also uses the material in Aquanats finish second Despite a long day, a sudden storm, and power outages that delayed the swim meet for over half an hour, the Castlegar Aquanauts swam to a solid second-place finish at the Beaver Valley Swim Meet on the weekend Nelson Neptunes won the meet with 733 points. Castlegar had $37 points with Trail-Warfield Stingrays placing third with 481. Beaver Valley had 297, Robson 270, Grand Forks 226 and Kimberley 140. Thirty-nine Aquanauts took part with several outstanding performan- ces. Jenny Gibson led the way with three firsts, two new records and the gold aggregate in: Division Six Girls’ events. Castlegar’s Division Five Girls dominated their event with Amy Rodgers bringing home the gold, Tammy Bridges the silver and Rae Car- ter the bronze aggregates. Other aggregate winners were Jill Imrie and Rolf Hartman. both with third place bronze medals. A power outage mid-way through Saturday afternoon forced evacuation of the pool for about 30 minutes. While some Aquanauts will be com- peting in Kelowna this weekend, the next major event for most is the Trail-, Warfield Invitational Meet at the Wright Pool in east Trail on July 8-9.
