evident emerald hills on warden avenue south of bloomington road is no ordinary golf and country club the course has class and thats the distinction owner harry allard intended when he started constructing the course in 1980 it is also one of the reasons emerald hills has been selected to host the 1988 canadian profes sional golfers association 125000 championship from july 2831 the target oriented layout will put shotmaking ahead of putting according to allard with narrow fairways and heavily bunker- protected greens proper placc- ment of approach shots will be pa ramount for all competitors the 50ycarold president is confident his par 72 7068 yard facility can challenge the most skilled golfer of the 144 partici pants vying for among other prizes 25000 in first place money allard anticipates the vcut after two rounds at about six over the thing i try to do is put the emphasis on shotmaking rather than putting offered allard the greens are fairly simple fast but theyre used to fast greens even par could win the tournament and it could with five different cuts of grass green apron green fairway secondary rough and rough greens trimmed twice daily instead of the usual once-a- day and changing pin place ments the golfer will have to be on his game to survive the cut of the more familiar faces com peting at emerald hills will be dave barr dan halldorson richard zokol and defending champion jerry anderson the actual preparation for the tournament has been over a year in the planning even before last years competition at scarbor ough golf and country club allard was

quality private golf club allard said what we arc looking for is promotion and rec ognition establishing the quality of the golf course well get the opinions of the players and sec how they felt the long range plan is to change several holes and con tinue to improve the course racket letdown by blaine kaneko the birds were flying every where last wednesday at lang- staff secondary school in rich mond hill but unfortunately for the team of scott evans and ashley chan they werent landing in the court finishing runnersup in the york north badminton cham pionships the stouffville dist secondary school pair were the only senior team to survive the shuttlecock wars and qualify for the york region double elimina tion tournament with only six teams entered in their division and the top four qualifying for the d yssaa cham pionship the pregame prognosis was fa vorable but after their first match against st roberts losing 20 conditions turned critical against aurora things turned fat al falling in two straight games it was terrible i should have stayed at home said scott evans after the match we shouldnt have lost a game today maybe against st roberts its the worst i played all year we should have went on we should be second today behind st roberts and it was one of those days after losing the first match to st roberts in two tiebreakers the local boys were under the gun one more loss would mean an ear ly exit in a seesaw match against au rora the evanschan duo moved in front by a 149 score four un forced errors in a row closed the gap and strong play by the opposi tion overcame the deficit never for a minute did i think they wouldnt make it to dys- saa said coach rehill emo tionally they may not have been ready for the second game but theyll be back next year theres always next year ashley courts two lives by blaine kaneko ashley chans enthusiasm for badminton is only be matched by his zeal for his new life at stouff ville dist secondary school the 17 yearold hong kong na tive emigrated to the area in november bringing with him some very high shuttlecock credentials in only five years of smashing the feathered projectiles ashley amassed six first place trophies two individual awards and four doubles honors but in a city of over five million people badminton isnt too high on the priority scale in december ashleys father told him he would be moving to canada to continue his schooling with two universities in hong kong only the top 1015 per cent earn the opportunity to continue their studies unfortunately for ashley marks in the mid70 per cent range were not making the grade i was sad and a surprised when told he was to live in cana da he admits i had a lot of friends in hong kong we used to go out and play a lot i thought when i came here id be alone but ive made new friends the people in stouffville are very nice theyve helped me a lot there have been other key aspects in adapting to life on and off the badminton courts improving his english is a must according to the grade 12 student developing a spectacular fore hand in badminton is one thing but mastering the english lan guage is a totally different game i live in unionville with my aunt he says she picked the school sdss because she heard it was a good school id be given a chance to practice my english this is a good chance for me im glad i came to stouffville and so is ashleys doubles part ner scott evans the skilled tan dem placed second against very experienced competition in the york north badminton cham pionships their strong finish qualified them for the york tournament they were the only sdss senior team to advance the one factor ashley wasnt prepared for was the lack of prac tice facilities even at his small school of 1500 at clamte middle school he was afforded the oppor tunity to practice every friday for three hours this year ashley was lucky to get three practices before the tournaments nevertheless he maintains badminton is his favorite sport but he intends to enroll in uni versity and if time allows and doesnt interfere with his studies he will continue to participate in the sport he loves i ww hbhs ik ssr jfflb fl g b r wi il i r at i k
