“What we try to zero in on are
15-16 year olds,” said Sherwood.
“We're after the keen golfer in the
handicap range of 20 and down,
the young golfer who shows inter-
est and a desire to improve.”

The Clinic, designed to develop
junior golf in the Zone, is now in
its eighth year.

' Shaw, who was ranked fifth in

took time on Sunday, April 21, to
brief the boys on how to become
pro, covering mental attitudes as

“I’m all for junior promotion and I
think there's too little done for

As the NHL season comes to
an end, the CFL season is shaping
up. And B.C, Lions General Man-
ager Jim Young expects it to be a

one for his V;
based team.

Young visited Castlegar on
April 18 to discuss the planning of
the Fourth Annual Jim Young
Celebrity Golf. Tournament to be
held at the Castlegar Golf Club on
Thursday, July 18, in support of
the Castlegar Red Cross,

Young, who himself played
with the Lion’s for 13 years and
with Minnesota for two years
Prior to that is confident about his

team's chances in the upcoming
football season,

“We should have,a very suc-
cessful season on as well as off the
field this year,”:said Young.
“We'll be extremely competitive.
But then we can’t lose too many
players to injuries right around the
Playoffs, Right now we're basical-
-ly just preparing for the new sca-
son and renewing season ticket
holders, It’s been very successful
so far,” iS é

Head Coach Bob O'Billovich
has a number of players lined up,
most of whom will be announced
shortly, :

“Quarterback Doug Flutie will
be back,” said Young. “ He will be
one of, if not the, outstanding play-

predicts go

ers in the Icague.”

Flutic has only played one sea-
son with the Lions, that being last
year after coming up from the New
England Patriots and, before that,

the Chicago Bears. Wake
“Our wide receiver Ray Alexan.

der will be back,” said Young. “He
had an excellent season last year.”
Bob Hefner will once again be
coaching the offensive line, “our
strongest area last year,” said
Young. Z
Joe Paopao will be coaching the
ks and lineba’

Paopao will also serve as a back-up
quarterback but Young is hoping
that Paopao won't have to play this
year,

. And Jene Gaines will be coming
from Winnepeg to coach the defen-
sive backs, -

“Yeah, that’s going to be one of
our strong points this year,” said

od seaso

enden and Verna Chemoff.

Young said the whole thing
started back when he was gencral
sunseer of the Castlegar Sandman

“I went outside of football to

, Bet experienced in business and
‘then get back into the sport,” said

n for B.C. Lions

Young. “It was very exiting as my
first general manager job. From
there I went to:the big flagship
hotel in Vancouver and then back
to the Lions. It was in Castlegar
that the idea for the tournament
came about, I met a lot of really
nice people during my years her.”

+ “There are usually quite a’ few
Canucks participating in the tour-
nament as well as recently’ retired
Lions,” said Young. “The active
players usually don’t make it out
because it’s the middle of the sea-
son.” Rea ea
