Bill Dickie's SIDELINE, SLANTS Blazers Open Play 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 SECOND NINE Hole 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 Hole Yards Rate Par 10 432 4.3 5 11 315 3.6 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 ID, 4INIP .ml ,I1 ,qli* ,=IIR qURI= ,Ii AMERICA'N LEGION Fred B. Wivell Post 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. SPORTS SPLINTERS Bill Nolan's golfing visit to Shelton Friday unleashed a :ew osttgie memories. Older sports fans will recall him as a highly successful ath- letic coach (football, basketball, baseball) GAMF HIGHT 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.
