1 THE CHRONICLF.
Organizers are preparing
for another productive year of
the Earnest Morris
Junior Golf
Program at the
Winston Lake Golf
Course. The pro
gram will take
place from June 1 1
though July 27.
The golf camp will
take place every
Monday. Tuesday
and Thursday, from
9 a.m. until noon.
There will not
be classes the week of July 2
"I always look forward to
the program every summer,"
said Winston Lake golf pro
Ralph Gaillard. "It's always a
good time. Everyone on the
staff is anxiously anticipating
the camp this year. We're
going to follow the format
we've been doing. We're
doing a few things different
with letting the kids play
more. But we're basically
sticking to the formula
Earnest started."
The Earnest Morris junior
golf program is designed to
introduce, improve and devel
op the golf skills of children
from 6 to 17 years of age.
Participants will be taught the
rules and etiquett^ of golf.
Instruction will also be given
about character development,
success and life.
"It's always kind of neat to
see a kid coming
into the camp at 6
or 7 years old and
then watching
them actually
being able play at
12, 13 and 14,"
said Gaillard.
"That's kind of
neat. A lot of kids
don t really have
an interest in golf
until their parents
sign them up to give them
something to do. Then, some
of them actually learn to be
good players. We have two
kids from the program playing
golf in college. We have a
couple kids on high school
teams. That's probably one of
the most rewarding parts of
the program to me."
None of the activities or
events offered by the program
are mandatory. All involve
ment is left entirely to the dis
cretion of each individual par

"Sam is going to give a
free clinic for everyone in the
community," Gaillard said.
"Everyone is welcome to that.
We're really looking forward
to the program. We've
