The Upper Columbia Pioneer • 9
Tee Time with Michelle Taylor Tee Time with Michelle Taylor will be a regular weekly feature this golf season. Call her at 341-6299. I am very excited to be a part of The Pioneer’s first golf edition. As the Kootenay region seems to be almost as abundant in golf courses as mountains, they are a big part of the valley’s lifestyle and revenue source. Throughout the summer, the golf section will highlight valley golf courses and provide tips from professionals to help players perfect their game. A calendar of events will keep the public aware of upcoming tournaments, leagues, special events, junior and adult clinics. My experience with the game is both professional and personal. For seven years I worked with the Alberta Golf Association, managing amateur and junior player development. I developed training camps for elite play-
ers and served as non-playing team captain for national and international events. It was a pleasure to work with such enthusiastic golf professionals, directors and volunteers. Apart from working in the industry, I have always been an avid player. In an effort to improve my golf game I even married a golf professional. I did, however, fall deeply in love with him in the process, which is always a plus. I left my job at Alberta Golf when my husband was offered the head professional position at The Springs Course in Radium. Although I miss my former job, my new position as reporter for the Pioneer is challenging and exciting. And now that we are doing a golf column I can remain connected to the sport I love. So what intrigues us about this game? Is it the fact that a person can play golf as a child or a child at heart, well into their senior years? Is it the breath-taking scenery one observes
.OT YOUR TYPICAL
while playing? Or is it that unbelievable feeling one gets when they hit that perfect shot? That moment when you think to yourself, I am an incredible human being that has just made the most spectacular shot only the truly gifted could possibly make. Although this feeling is great, it is generally short-lived and often followed by a humbling shank, slice or the whiff - a particular shot one should never admit to. I guess if I had to choose my favorite part it would be playing golf with my husband on a beautiful summer day and of course, on the rare occasion, outdriving the opposite sex - which is a powerful feeling. However, from time to time good golfing can turn ugly with just one bad swing. An example of this is when my mother, an avid bird-lover, was playing golf with my father years ago. My mother miss-hit her ball on the ninth hole. It was a skull shot go-
ing hard and fast, just inches above the ground. The end result was the decapitation of her favorite feathered friend - the red-breasted robin. The massacre on the ninth that day caused my mother to give up the game for 20 years. That was one heck of a birdie. My own personal highlight involves some skill but mostly luck. I was playing in a tournament when almost eight months pregnant and I got a hole-in-one.I know it was pure luck because, just like my mother, it was a skulled shot. The only thing that stopped the ball from going over the green was that it hit the centre of the flagstick and dropped in the hole. Overall, the game of golf is a wonderful opportunity to be outdoors, enjoying the company of fellow golfers. To all the golf enthusiasts out there - may your drives go straight, may you never be inflicted with the shanks, and the only birdie you ever get is the one you mark below par.
