Bill Dickie's SIDELINE SLANTS
But Will It Better My Score?
Many of the blood-boiling horticultural
aggravations which once had a tendency to
bespoil the physical pleasures of exercising
at the Bayshore Golf course have disap-
peared during the past couple of years, to
the improvement of dispositions and en-
richment of pocketbooks among those dis-
posed to disport themselves on this lovely
links layout.
Hazards to ulcers and explosive tempers
once were so numerous it would take a spe-
cial edition of this newspaper to list them
all. Some remain, to be sure, and it would
be impossible as well undesirable to eradi-
cate every last one; nevertheless, the wear-
and-tear on one's psychological constitu-
tion has been greatly and commendably
trimmed by the measures carried out in the
past few months by pro-manager Ray
Walker and special work-parties recruited
from club membership.
It might be fun, and somewhat eye-
opening, to review just what has been
achieved in this vein, along with a cursory
coverage of those areas which still consti-
tute disaster potentials to the Bayshore
linksman.
Along the first hole fairway the
unwary golfer f;ound all sorts of lurk-
ing dangers in days B.C. (before
clean-up) . . . on a tee shot sliced to
the right, straight ahead of the dog-
leg, the creek (oh, that cursed, ball-
gulping creek!), and on both sides of
the dog-leg approach to the green.
Today, 60% of those snares are gone,
largely. The brush next to the creek from
the storage shed to the bridge is well thin-
ned, the tall rough in front of the 90-de-
gree angle of the dog-leg is cut low, and the
heavy weed patch which strung along the
right side of the dog-leg beyond the creek
is purged. Lost balls in those three areas
now are largely eliminated. Hazards re-
maining are the indestructible creek, of
course, and the ball-grabbing branches of
the trees which guard it, the out-of-bounds
on the left approaching the green, and the
thicket still remaining beside the path to
the second tee. No. 1 is still a challenging
hole, but not nearly as foreboding and be-
set with pitfalls as once it was.
No. 2 is less calamitous with the remov-
al of the aforesaid .weedpatch which lay
between it and the first firway (it took
a pretty horrible slice off"tlte second te
to get into this trouble spot, but many have
managed it), and with shortening of the
rough to the right front of the new green.
Ball-sprayers still find plenty of woes, how-
ever, in the steep, brushy ravine on the
right and the underbrush beneath the strip
of tre under which the two private resi-
dences rest on the left, or by straying too
far to the right or left of the green on ap-
proach shots.
The psych-hole, sometimes known as
the •third, still bugs bufidles of golfers with
its steep drop-off to the brush-protected
ers still seek anguish by wandering
into these areas, but it isn't quite as
easy to reach now.
Most far-reaching of the blood-pressure
projects this piece is concerned with is an
armipotent bit of landscaping which has
affected three holes the sixth, seventh
and eighth--in one efficacious operation.
An inestimable volume of unprintable
epithets, of thrown clubs, of frazzled nerves
--not to mention lost golf balls---germinat-
ed from shots hooked into the dense
Scotch Broom and knee-high grass former-
ly lurking in the triangle between the sixth,
seventh and eighth fairways. Now it's
gone, leaving the only serious hazard to
high blood pressure on the sixth fairway
that grove of trees to the left of the green.
The seventh is now hazard-free except for
the screen shielding the eighth tee and the
row of trees separating it from the fourth
fairway.
It wouFd be exceedingly interesting, and
perhaps a bit amazing, to know how many
lost balls were rescued from the tentacles
of that octopus-like hunk of acreage by
the search-and-destroy mission•
Both the eighth and ninth fairways are
less bogeysome now that the strip of rough
between them, once pretty much concon-
trolled, tall and wild, has been stomped
down to a simple, shallow obstruction from
which escape is reasonably easy by way of
a heavy iron.
The eighth's lone barrier to par
and birdie now is the cluster of state-
ly Douglas firs three-quarters of the
way to the green, which also can bar-
ricade the slicer off the ninth tee. An-
other nuisanc, e, to a pulled, topped
drive off the ninth tee, is the presence
of brushy rough and trees for some

is the frustrated sport who retrieves

This discourse has tended to overlook,
as hazards, the delightfully aesthetic, love-
ly rows of trees, principally Douglas firs,
which set the Shelton-Bayshore golf course
apart as one of the most beautiful links
anywhere. But hazards they are. Douglas
firs are present on every hole except the
third, which substitutes a thicket of alders
:along. the bank of Johns Creek through
which a ,narrow ichute0ffera the,only ave-
nue to the green, a pair of tall cedars just
to the right front of the green and on the
very edge of the only sand trap on the
course, and another cedar pin-high to the
left of the green.
There are two small fruit-tree clusters
which occasionally stand in the way of the
errant linksman, one between the fifth and
sixth fairways, another between the eighth
and ninth just off the eighth green. A few
madronas and 'sundry other shrubs and
small trees are scattered here-and-there
about this beauteous arena of outdoor ex-
ercise, each a hazard in its own way to the
swinger who strays from the straight-and-

Beat Central Jayvees
By BOB MEYER
'!'The NOrth Mason 'baseball
team ran its record to one win
against two losses last week by
gaining its first win of the sea-
son over the Central Kitsap Jun-
ior varsity, and losing its first
league game to the highly fa-
vored Bainbridge Spartans, 8 to
1.
The win, 4 to 1, over Central
Kitsap last Tuesday made up
for the devastating blow the Bull
dogs suffered in their first game
of the year, a 15 to 1 loss to
the South Kitsap junior varsity.
Ron Wright was the winning
pitcher as the Bulldogs took
advantage of Central's three
errors to cop the victory.
Thursday Bainbridge got eight
high hurdles, and Stun Davis in
the pole vault. .,
Bulldogs easily won the singles.
In the doubles, 'Campbell and
Allen Cady beat Mayfield and
Flick 6-4, 64), and Perry Hed-
strom and Jim Kowalczyk knock-
ed off Bill :Fisher and Art Hall
6-1, 6-0.
Today the Bulldogs have a
match at home against Vashon.
Lakeside easily beat the North
Mason track team, 126 to 13 last
Friday at Lakeside. Lakeside
took first in every event as the
best the Bulldogs could do was
two second places.
Mike Graesch came close to
winning the 880 for NM as he
took second in a photo finish.
