Swing Kids School Board's Johnson continues longtime youth golf clinic "BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE Victor Johnson's annual Junior Golf Clinic ended last Thursday at Reynolds Park Golf Course with words of wis dom from Winston-Salem State University Athletic Director Bill Hayes. Hayes addressed nearly 75 youngsters who had spent the last four weeks learning the basics of the game from Johnson, a former educator and member of the City-County School Board and several of his longtime golfing buddies. Hayes drew puzzled looks when he asked the kids if they'd ever been bitten by an elephant or a giraffe. No child raised his or her hand. When he asked if they'd ever been bitten by a mosquito, almost every hand shot-up. "See what I'm telling you? It's always the little things that hurt ... it's always the little things you got to take care of," said Hayes. He urged the youngsters to take care of "little things" by learning how to listen to coaches, teachers, parents and other adults. He said the discipline they learned from golf would help them become better listeners. Though Hayes's illustrious career was built around foot ball. he told the group that the golf course has benefits that the gridiron doesn't. Golf is a great way to meet and talk casually with people from all walks of life, Hayes said it is one of the reasons why so many business deals are often made on the green. He added that unlike football or basket ball, which players age out of or quit because of injuries, golf can be played at any age. "Golf is something you can do for the rest of your life," said Hayes. "It might be the greatest of all the lifetime sports and you've learned it, you've picked it up and I encourage you to keep going." Johnson and his wife, Constance, have held the golf clin ic each summer for the past 15 years for kids between the ages of 6-16. Johnson started the free clinic to expose kids from low income families to the sport, which compared to basketball and football, can be expensive when considering the costs of equipment and green fees. Like Hayes, Johnson believes golf teaches many lessons. That is why he insists that the kids who take the clinic leave with much more than the abil ity to swing a club. See Golf on B2 ?
