economist suntribune sports leisure thursday june 6 2002 33 22 years 22 champions from page 32 the tournament would be unlikely to reveal a single player who wouldnt pre fer to be swinging somewhere on the pga tour this weekend apologies and all to diamondback golf is golf and although the dollar prize value may widely vary the object of the game never wavers ideally you prefer to be on one tour or the other said the north bayborn mr morland who has played five pga tour events this season he figures to contest at least another dozen perhaps 20 in all before the sea son ends im using the buycom tour this spring to prepare for pga tour events its a little slow right now i havent played that great in five starts on the big tour but i just have to keep plugging away mr morland is currently mired at 130th on the buycom earnings list now in its 13th year the buycom tour is considered one rung below the pga tour but familiar names abound no less than 12 former pga event win ners are in the field starting today and running through sunday afternoon chasing the 81000 winners share of a 450000 total purse oddly the past 22 tournaments have produced 22 different champions in the past we made a conscious effort to align this tour with the pga tour because there are the future stars of the pga tour and several solid veter ans who have found their way here and arefryirig to hone their skills to get back said pga tour vicepresident mike stevens the 7079yard par72 diamondback facility on leslie street between bloomington and stouffville roads is hosting canadas secondoldest golf tournament for the third time in four years last years winner richard zokol went on to a 13thplace finish on the 2001 buycom tours money list and into a regular spot on the pga four his status for this weekend hinged on his efforts at a us open qualifying event earlier this week in washington tickets are 10 per day with a week end pass available for 25 at the gate beauty in eye of beholder from page 32 on the side to satisfy the customer and at the same time make his work easier mr fagg has several suggestions for those who might wish to have their posses sion mounted for starters mr fagg says its not necessarily the biggest fish or the deer with the largest rack that should be mounted rather it might be an individ uals first catch in other words beauty is in the eye of the beholder if all i mounted were 10point bucks id only have 10 to do he says some people bring in a buck with spikes since its their first deer so its not a 10pointer but to them its a trophy mr fagg says a firsttime consumer should go to a reputable taxidermist most of his clients are referrals if anybody calls me i tell them to see me first i like people to see my work first he says a sign of a good taxidermist he hints is one thats usually busy mr fagg says his busiest time is the fall once hunting begins a customer should ask what the timeline is in getting their work done and i usually say at least six months he says if a taxidermist isnt six months to a year behind they dont have the busi ness right now im finishing off deer racks from last fall and thats around a sixmonth period the key to having a good mount he says begins once the catch is hauled in mr fagg says fish should be kept intact and placed in a straight position in a plastic bag rather than newspaper which he says will suck the moisture out of a fish to protect the fins pieces of card board should be placed around them once thats done the fish should imme diately go into a freezer once there it should be placed in a secure position where it wont get banged around by other items in cases where an angler might be in the woods for a few days with no freezer within easy access the next viable alter native is to place the fish in a cooler full of ice one problem mr fagg has encoun tered is with fish of the salmonid family and in particular ones that reside in the great lakes such as chinook or coho salmon rainbow trout brown trout and lake trout these fish he says are gener ally oily and oil tends to bleed from the head area to combat this mr fagg says he will use fibreglass heads and skin from the original body the oil from a trout and salmon is a taxidermists worst enemy he says for birds preserved specimens should be wiped free of any bloodstains on the feathers as well any holes where blood can leak out should be plugged with kleenex the bird should be folded in a natural appearance before being placed in a plastic bag in the freezer with big game such as deer mr fagg says one of the biggest faults hes encountered is when hunters improp erly cape out deer heads the proper way he says is to split it down the back doing it up the throat you will destroy it he warns mr fagg feels anglers and hunters who take extra care with their prize catches will reap benefits with a mount that will closely replicate the animal in life the better you can look after that specimen the better job a taxidermist will do he says been there done that reporter jerome watt re ceives a few point ers from glen arnold before putting the kart through its paces staff photo mike barrett am i ready for bigtime racing by jerome watt staff writer just like paul tracy and scott goodyear before me i was tak ing the first step into the world of auto racing i had come to learn about gokarts at the goodwood kartway just outside stouffville where both mr tracy and mr goodyear began their careers were not talking about your family outing puttputt wimp type of gokart the kart i was using that day was capable of reaching speeds up to 65 mph new one of these karts goes for about 4000 a person could pick up one used for about 2000 of course there are other go karts capable of reaching 100 mph but for today i could only handle 60 mph my coach for the day glen arnold a 23year veteran of the been there done that gokart circuit told me to make it to the big time ie formula one a driver either has to be tal ented and good at promoting himself or have some serious cash to promote his career with only 25 in my chequing account i knew id have to trade on my talent mr arnold sent me out with only a scant bit of advice dont press the gas and the brake at the same time raise your left hand to signal youre slowing down and watch out for the other karts i was now free to tear up the halfmile track and sharpen the old driving skills for my first lap i slowly drove the course to get a feel for it the other two karts on the track lapped me at least twice by the third lap i knew it was time to open the car up i gunned it as fast as i could while i could hit the karts top speed on the straightaway whenever i came to a curve i had to slow right down i could nt negotiate the turn without hitting the side of the track mr arnold had some advice the car can go a lot faster than you he noted most beginners have difficulty controlling the car at high speed and tend to slow down too much suddenly mr arnold noticed the karts seat was bro ken and decided to cancel rac ing for the day on the pretext i would be in danger i cant help but wonder if he was just as concerned about the health of his
