The 13-year-old Oakville resident was one of 12 players from the Oakville Rangers peewee A hockey team who offered to caddy for a cor- porate golf outing at Devil’s Pulpit in Caledon, Monday. “He stood there looking at the name on the tag and his face went to stone," said Doug Ball, an Oakville native and director of golf at Devil’s Pulpit, who set up the surprise. "Then he looked up and there he (Gretzky) was.” Because MacDonald was too small (5-feet, 85 pounds.) to tote Gretzky’s bag around for 18 holes, Ball drove the bag around in a cart. MacDonald would then take clubs out to Gretzky when he needed them. “I said ‘I’ve got 12 guys from my son Gordie’s hockey team,” Ball recalled. “Then I said to Gordie, ‘I guess you'll want to caddy for Gretzky.’ But Gordie said, ‘Give him to Kyle, he’s a Gretzky nut.” ‘ MacDonald says the Los Angeles Kings are his favofite team. He nor- mally wear a black leather Kings cap (he actually wears two) but didn’t on Monday because it was too hot. “I have 11 posters and 43 cards of him,” said MacDonald, who will start attending Loyola High School this fall. “He’s been my favorite player since about 1986." “The kids just had a fabulous day,” Ball said. “Gretzky is just magic. When kids are involved, he’s got a weak spot. He just loves them.” By TOM MICHIBATA Oakville Beaver stafl But when the 12 went to their respective bags, MacDonald did a dou- ble-take: He would be going around the course with his long-time idol, Wayne Gretzky. “At first I didn't believe he was there. (But then) he came out of the doors (of the clubhouse) with a bunch of people and I knew it was him.” During the round, MacDonald and his teammates had their pictures taken with Gretzky. At the end, Gretzky gave Kyle an autographed cap promoting his new restaurant in Toronto, an autographed hockey card, a $20 bill MacDonald vows he’ll never spend and a couple of golf balls. Kyle MacDonald had to take a long second look at the name tag on the golf bag. The 12 players got involved when one of the outing's representatives asked Ball if there would be caddies for the golfers. “He’s a really nice guy," said MacDonald, a play-making centre who say he tries to emulate Gretzky's style. “He’s a great golfer too.” Kyle has a great day with the Great One each COMPUTER WEEKLY PUBLICATION 635-0222 02520 _<_>_Amm 2 m>m< qO wc< Oz me > <mI_O_.m (Photo by Doug fill)
