A Puzzle For
Your Pleasure !
In sports, as in almost all phases of liv-
ing, some things occur in rapid repetition,
others hardly ever. In the later cate-
gory falls the re-rating of a golf course.
Last Friday, thus, must be recorded as
a day somewhat special in the history of
the Shelton-Bayshore golf course. On
that day, the course was re-rated, at the
request of the Shelton Golf Club.
The event can be described as special,
perhaps: but actually not particularly sig-
nificant, because the re-rating didn't
change a thing, only confirmed the sole
previous rating given the course a half
dozen years ago. A re-rating is justified
only when significant changes in the phys-
ical condition or form of the course have
taken place. Some members of the 19th
Hole Club, the men's division of the Shel-
ton Golf Club, believed the new greens es-
tablished on the second and sixth holes and
a couple of other minor alterations to the
course might justify a different rating.
But George Skarich, executive sec-
retary of the Pacific Northwest Golf
Association and chairman of its course
rating committee, found, in his opin-
ion, that the things which had been
changed since the original rating bal-
anced out in strengthening and weak-
ening the toughness of the course, and
he wound up with the same 68 figure
the Bayshore course has carried here-
toore.
Skarich, his friend Bill Nolan, also
from Seattle, pro-manager Ray Walker,
and Ray's soldier-son, Bob, teed off on the
nose of noon Friday to make the rating
check. Some three hours-plus later, after
measuring the yardage of each hole as they
went along, checking the hazards of each,
discussing prevailing winds, arguing a bit
l=ere and there, Skarich came up with his
official figures, which are as follows for
each hole :
FIRST NINE
Yards Rate Par
445 4.5 5
300 3.6 4
110 2.7 3
387 4.0 4 ,
398 4.1 4
178 3.0 3
263 3.4 4
363 3.8 4

12 128 2.8 3
13 411 4.2 4
14 476 4.6 5
15 413 4.2 4
16 211 3.2 3
17 275 3.5 4
18 380 4.0 4
If those figures confuse you, you're
not alone! But let's try to unfog them.
Par, as golfers know, is a figure establish-
ed by decree after considering the length
and difficulty playing the hole, as the num-
ber of strokes a top flight golfer, one good
enough to rate a handicap of zero, should
shoot on a given hole. This, of course, has
to be a round figure. The rated figure
given a hole differs from par only in that
it can be, and usually is, a fractional fig-
ure arrived at by determining from the
length of the hole and the hazards attend-
ing it how many times this no-handicap
golfer will vary from par when playing the
hole a number of times.
Take Hole No. 1 for example. It
carries a Par 5 designation on the
basis of yardage, hazards, and prevail-
ing wind, but is rated at 4.5: This
means that, in the opinion of Skarich.
your scratch golfer should shoot the

No. 31
first hole in four strokes as often as
he does in five. So the hole is rated
half way between 4 and 5. Exactly
the same situation pertains on the Par
5 fifth hole.
From the tabulation above you can see
that only six holes in 18 at Bayshore show
a rating equal to or higher than their par
figures, and when summed up total 68, as
against the par total of 72. This means
that your scratch player should beat par
by four strokes on the average at Bay-
shore. Ray Walker, a scratch player, did
exactly that, in essence, when he played
the rating round with Skarich, Nolan and
son Bob by shooting a 34 for nine holes
(Bayshore, you understand, is a 9-hole
course). Had they played the course again
for 18 holes and had Ray duplicated that
34 he'd have done exactly what a scratch
player should on this links. Just for the
record, Skarich shot a 40, Nolan 43, Bob
Walker 39.
We duffers who find the fourth, sixth
and seventh holes so difficult to par can
take a bit of consolation in the ratings giv-
en them by Skarich. Even the scratch
boys.don't average par on them, particu-
larly when they hit them on the second
nine with longer yardage.
Comes the question now: Why rate a
golf course? The idea is to even up the
handicaps of players competing in handi-
cap competitions on different courses.
Thus, Shelton golfers are handicapped
with 68 as the base rather than 72 while
golfers on some other course which might
be rated at 70 against a par 72 would be
handicapped against 70. In theory this
would place the golfers of both courses on
an even handicap basis since, theoretically,
Shelton should be the easier course at 72
than would the other at the same par fig-
ure.
Skarich and Nolan liked Bayshore,
had many compliments for it, thought
the first hole particularly intriguing
with its 90-degree dog-leg across
Johns Creek. Personally, I have sev-
eral different words for that bole,
none of which mean intriguing.

golfing visit to Shelton Friday unleashed a

Today
By JAN DONALDSON
• The Shelton Junior High foot-
ball team opens its season today
at 2 p.m., playing Washington
Junior High School on Loop Field.
The Blazers, coached by Dave
Sund and Bernie Dorcy, have no
returning lettermen.
Coaches Sund and Dorcy have
42 boys to mold into a team. The
key to the Blazers' success will
be Whether or not they can come
through with steady play even
though they lack experience.
A tentative starting line-up for
the Washington game is as fol-
lows: at ends, Bruce Cole and
Rocky Nutt; at tackles, Tony
Freeman and Dave Schroeder;
at guards, Glenn l.x)ckwood and
Rick Fitchett; at center, Dave
Stolle; at halfback, Bob Turner
and Mike Bac; at fullback, Lewey
Ferris, and at quarterback, Steve
Richey.
Punt, Pass,
Kick Contest
Set Oct. 8
• The Mson County Punt, Pass
& Kick Contest will be held this
year on October 8 at Loop Field.
Jim Pauley, sponsor of the an-
num competition, has named Bill
Johnson, salesman, as director of
the event, in which boys 8 through
13 compete with boys their own
age in punting, passind and
place-kicking for distance and
and accuracy.
"Giving every participant a
chance to correte against boys
his own age," Johnson said,
"our local competition not only
provides an excellent opportunity
for any boy to win one of the
18 trophies, but will also be a
memorable high-light of his
young life."
Registration for PP&K, he ex-
plained, will open September 1
and continue through October
6th, paving the way for trips to
National Football League games
and on the "Tour of Champions"
to Washington, D.C., and the an-
nual NFL Play-Off Game in the
Orange Bowl and Miami, Florida,
on January 7, 1968 for the 12
National finalists.
