first swing of the year the family owned course opens for business this weekend with an improved par five 13th above par course at four seasons by blaine kaneko big is not always better and the claremont four seasons golf and country club proves it the challenging 18 hole course located just south of claremont on the 8th concession and brock road is demanding enough to satisfy the most skilled golfer while providing an entertaining yet enjoyable clay for the duffers the par five13th hole deserves special mention as the most diffi cult due to the large water hazard in midfairway and a green sur rounded by sand and with plenty of trees hills valleys and enough water to make an aquaphobic nervous the par 65 course provides loads of extras a driving range putting green whirlpool and two brand new ten nis courts featuring a duragrid surface are all part of the four seasons ambience not only is it one of the areas best kept secrets having been open for just four years their yearoldrustic clubhouse gives the appearance of an aristocratic facility while offering bourgeois green fees we cater to everyone but our course is more suited to the better golfer said assistant manager karen carson its a difficult course to play golfers can appreciate it what can be appreciated is the effort that has gone into con structing the course the family owned four sea sons has been seven years in the making owner murray carson and 18yearold son paul built the facility by themselves although sister karen admits it did help that dad owned a construction business according to karen it was her fathers dream ever since he was young to one day purchase the properly to furnish a golf course what was formerly a nine hole course in the 1950s was left in dis repair until murray bought the deed and transformed the area from a dowdy bog into the well groomed meticulously cared for course it is today narrow fairways deepset greens of bent grass and a pic turesque beauty distinguish the four seasons from the competi tion in addition to her duties as assistant manager karen substi tutes as pro shop attendant secretary chef bartender and in dooroutdoor maintenance person she is

ourselves with a family business you have to work twice as hard we want to make it work and prove ourselves by blaine kaneko the rumor of interschool hock ey at stouffville dist secondary school will remain just that a rumor the reality is sdss will have a house league hockey prog ram starting in the fall and although it may not carry the prestige of high school hock ey coorganizer jamie showers hopes it will be just as competitive without the physical play of high er level shinny we want it competitive admitted the grade 11 student we dont want guys not skating back and not taking the game seriously it will be run the same as the minor hockey but it will probably be more fun what wont be in competition with minor hockey is the price for 50 players get at least 15 games of ice time referees timekeeper sweaters and a shot at the much coveted school t- shirt the league will likely schedule ice tuesday wednesday and thursday mornings from 730 am to 830 am the rules are fairly simple no contact no slapshot no centre line change must be onthefly three minor penalties result in a one game suspension fight and the player is ejected from the league we are going to try and make it like a little national hockey league jamie said we are going to have statistics make it feel like the big leagues but not as finely tuned the concept of house league hockey rather than an inter- school team was decided by sdss physed coordinator dave con- nell he felt a school team would be comprised of mostly players from the local clipper teams it was mr connells opinion that students and teachers could participate at the recreational level while facilitating a competi tive atmosphere for the more skil led players such a league would give ska ters of lesser talent an opportun ity to experience the game play ing sidebyside seasoned gamers the only players excluded from the league will be junior carded players according to mr connell hock ey will counterbalance the stu dentteacher relationship stu dents will see teachers in a more human light rather than an au thoritative figure jamie along with co- coordinator aaron mcwilliams are in the process of taking a cen- thank you to
