May 31, 1965 High Life Page Nine I Itg SPORTS SECTION MAY 31, 1965 Sawyer Leads GH5 To 4-A Golf Title Grimsley’s golf team established a state record Tuesday, May 13, at Chapel Hill, when the golfers captured its third straight state championship. No other team in the history of this event had ever been able to win the title three years in succession. Golf Is A Ladies Sport Golf has been known since old times as the royal and ancient game. For a sport of such great heritage it seems that there are many of us today who actually know very little about the game itself. Tips from a pro seem to be in order at this time, especially for you young ladies who want to know so badly. As a means of explaining my subject matter to you on un^r- standable terms, I shall describe the art of Golf using the terms and modes of expression that a young lady might. able one. It proceeds down the fairway haphazardly, the fairway being the area of the landscape of a golf course, ranging from tee to green. For you young ladies, unaware of the signifi cance of a green, let me refresh your memory. The Whirlies easily took the Crown, defeating runner-up Pike High School of Wilson. Grimsley’s overall aggregate was 587, 13 strokes better than that of Wil son. For the individual crown, South Mecklenburg’s Chuck Mer- riam also set a state record, for he became the first boy to cap ture the individual crown for the third year in a row. He posted a two-day total of 142, edging Grimsley’s Buzz Sawyer who fin ished one stroke behind at 143. Besides Sawyer, Joe Inman, Charles Snipes, and Mike Schleu- ter also paced the winners. Snipes recuperated from his 77 the first day, to score a fine 70 for an overall total of 147. Inman post ed a 144, while fourth man, Schleuter, tallied a 153, In addition to winning its third state championship, the Whirlie linkmen, under the direction of Coach Bob Jamieson, also swept the Central 4-A Conference with a whopping 37 hole victory mar gin over second place Winston- Salem Reynolds High. In the round-robin matches played dur ing the earlier parts of the year, Grimsley was victorious in seven of the eight. Only on Reynolds home course did the Demons sur prise Grimsley. Joe Inman, Buzz Sawyer, and Charles Snipes also aided Grims ley in obtaining its first state crown in 1963. Though they were sophomores, each was a vital part in the victory. Though these sen iors will graduate, boys such as Jim Blackwood, David Thompson, and Lane Atkins will return to help carry on the fine Whirlie victory tradition. GHS Takes Top Prize In Industrial Exposition Grimsley High School left the recent Annual North Carolina In dustrial Arts Exposition at Win ston-Salem with the top award given every year, five first places, and a high percentage of the second and third place presenta tions. Steve Proctor, junior at GHS, earned the Outstanding Design Award with his breakfront. This is one of the most coveted awards among industrial arts students. Grimsley’s five first places in woodworking belong to Dave Sharpe, Senior; Steve Proctor, Junior: Don Church, Senior; Bil ly Boggs, Sophomore; and Ernie Wall, Sophomore, Dave Sharpe had perhaps one of the most un usual entries. He has already had many offers for his prize-winning harpsichord. Ricky Henry, Junior; Jim Min- ish, Sophomore; Bob McMillan, Sophomore; and Butch Adams, Junior were Whirlie second placers. A GHS third prize winner was Johnny Toy, Sophomore. Honor able mention went to Rick John son. We begin on a bright, cloud less, bird-singing afternoon, and usually when such an afternoon presents itself, there are several ladies who become so engrossed in the idea of golf that they soon want to give it a try. An indefinite time is set as to when to be at the golf course, a golf course being the name of the area in which golf is played, and arrangements are also made to meet on the first hole, a wonder ful hole which, for you ladies, is a grand place to meet. It is from here that you are to pursue that little ball for 17 more cute, little holes just precisely like the first one and just as cute. Here we are on the tee? Are we not? The tee being the name given to a small plot of ground approx imately the size of six to eight graves, which for you ladies, depicts a vivid description of the appearance of a tee. It is while standing on the tee that one be gins to address his ball. Now ladies, this does not mean “hello” ball, “goodbye” ball, nor does it mean “good afternoon” ball. Addressing the ball merely consists of the procedure one goes through when getting ready to strike the ball for the very first time. From the tee, one takes his first and foremost swing at that little white darling in hope of moving it from its resting place where it looks so comfort able. Now, the flight of the ball made by the golf club after the initial contact is a truly remark- self. Remember, proceed to the green where the first and fore most shot is made. The flight of the ball carries directly down the tee where you finally arrive at the primary object of the game, the fairway, where sits a small hole serving no real purpose, it mostly just lies there.

Although the tea was scheduled to end at 6:00, the large attendance caused the event to be extended until after 6:30. Long lines were ob served throughout the tea. i COMPLMENTS OF I HART HARDWARE CO. i 336 TATE STIIEET PH ONE BR 4-4645 Ideal GRADUATION PRESENT To prepare for College, Business or Industry A READING DYNAMICS 5 Week—10 2-hour session SUMMER COURSE in GREENSBORO OR WINSTON-SALEM for information write READING DYNAMICS 1412 Westover Terrace Greensboro—BR 4-4273 (See our ad on page 6) TRY THIS TASTY COMBiNATiON! 100% Pure Beef Cheeseburger 12-oz.

The green is the initial target of your ball, for within this green sits a small hole, just waiting there, doing very little in reality. With the understanding of the small hole within the larger green, we are now ready to proceed to the finale of the game. The sole ob ject of this game is to place the small lily white ball within the tiny hole located inside the larger green, in as few strokes as possi ble; a stroke being the exact same thing as a swing, which if you are so kind as to remember, was described previously as the first and foremost shot.
