stux golfs lure impossible to resist on a picture perfect june day weekender june 27 1995 p 13 whoever noted that golf is a nice walk spoiled must have had me in mind for since trying to come to terms with this maddeningly addictive summer pastime some 15 or so years ago i have been nullifying natures wondrous splendour with my own sad spectacle of misfires and water shots while attempting to tame the local links i have proven myself to be absolutely unteachable totally inconsistent and painfully prone to come unglued just when i think ive finally got a grasp of the game and its intricacies yet despite throwing in the towel every couple of years angrily stowing my vintage 1960s clubs in the darkest comer of the base ment never again to darken a grassy green i inevitably give in to the desire to walk the fairways on a picture perfect june day one such occasion came a couple of weeks back when the good folks at wolf run golf course near nesleton invited me to put togeth er a foursome for their media day with tribune editor- andrew mair being like me of scottish descent it wasnt hard to tweak his interest in a golf freebie after all we scots invented the game and free is as good as thrifty gets i also invited dermont gilderdale he of the columnist wife kate who regularly parodies the poor wretch in her weekly offering of deathless prose in the tribune when uxbridges baseball coach emeritus don blowe backed out dermont brought along an eng- lish literature professor friend of his who was visiting from new foundland the good fellow would proceed to enlighten us as to the lack of non- white male ethnic content in the reading list of the english courses offered at universities while we waited to play the seventh hole now you know what golf jocks talk about when theyre out there doing that male bonding thing on the links every saturday after noon i prepared for the game by shooting a few minirounds at the john evelyn golf club just south of stouffyille in the weeks leading up to our date at wolf run i even worked on my chipping in the backyard and the results were beginning to promise a half decent showing when the big day arrived but alas my tee shot on the first hole veered helplessly to the right like an errant scud missile set ting the tone for the entire after noon and while i did try to replace most of the divots blasted from the surface of the scenic course i must confess it took a little longer to fully regain my composure meanwhile andrews controlled slice had his ball resembling one of those smart missiles as it turned corners and leapt tall trees while dermont was showing more than a modicum of talent for a guy raised on cricket and eng lish football upon returning home late that afternoon my clubs were once again subjected to their familiar from where i live bruce stapley basement banishment as i swore off the game for good but the other day the sun came up with the promise that causes us all to become spiritually renewed this time of year the big blue sky and the soft warm breeze were beckoning me to return to the fairways and lose myself in the mix of greenery rolling hills and meandering streams i gave in retrieving the sticks from their familiar spot downstairs and heading off for a solitary excursion of the nearby par three layout i even made a few good shots although i botched a couple more im afraid im hooked
