“Jt was successful beyond our . wildest expectations,” says the toumie's organizer Dick Wayling. “With: the response we got we could easily go to 250 golfers but I think we'll keep it to 150.” Out of the 152 participants this year, Bob McGrath, 51, of Cal-

gary was the overall gross winner with a 153 shot total. Castlegar's Nick Ogloff won for his overall low net.

Although the tournament was played on June 27, last week Wayling and others on the Dinosaur committee held a, “Postmortem meeting to work out the glitches.”

Although most everything ran smoothly, a few unforeseen diffi- culties did arise. Denny (McArthur, the course pro) got a whole handful of suggestions,” said Wayling.

- One of the concems addressed was moving the scoreboard from its downstairs location behind the clubhouse up to a place more accessible by seniors

Other than the minor adjust- ‘nents, Wayling Said the’ second Dinosaur will be similar to the first.

“There will be no major changes for next year,” he said, “But it’s definitely a go.”

McArthur echoed Wayling’s positive sentiments. “It went over well,” he said. “We're going to limit next year to 153 golfers as well. We could get more but we want to keep the course open for members in the afternoon (after the tournament),””

More than $6000 in prizes were given out to McGrath, Ogloff, and all flight winners and runner-ups.

As well, McGrath and Ogloff will have their names put on a plaque, in the clubhouse, which hangs next to a limited-edition print depicting Golfer Ben Hogan's famous 1-iron shot at the 18th-hole of the Riviera Golf Course.

golfer who he claims is one of the better amateurs in Canada. “He was happy to get into a major seniors tournament.”

Besides the success of the golfers and the club, other activi- ties went over equally well.

Off the course, golfers took part in a gong show at the Sand- man Inn that Wayling said will be an annual event. “About 15 peo- ple got up to S88 Ont or tell a story,” he said. “Two or three guys were terrible enough that we fonged them.”

‘Wayling believes the Dinosaur has potential to be a very big draw for senior golfers.

“I would think it’s going to be one of the major senior tourna- ments in the province.”

He said it may even become the second biggest in B.C.,‘ behind only the British Columbia Golf Association’s senior tourna-
