With the summer heat and the heat of the moment combining to create a test of wills, Myles Sullivan outlasted his worthy foe to become a hometown hero.

The 15-year-old Portage la Prairie resident chipped in from off the green for a birdie to force a playoff, then took five extra holes to finally put away Stony Mountain’s Aaron Cockerill and capture the Manitoba Blue Cross junior men’s rural golf championship at Portage Golf Club on Tuesday.

“I was in a playoff two years ago in the match play qualifier and it didn’t go so well,” said Sullivan, who earned his first provincial championship. “This feels great. I’m super happy with how things went.”

Sullivan and Cockerill, a 16 year old representing the Teulon Golf Club, started the day tied for fifth along with Stony Mountain resident and Teulon representative Kyle Kelpin, four shots out of the lead after opening with 4-over 74s on Monday.

The last were not first, but landing in the top five is nothing to sniff at.

Portage la Prairie’s Daniel Moar placed third at the 33-player Manitoba Blue Cross provincial junior men’s rural golf championship at the Portage Golf Club on Tuesday, while clubmate Brodie Gobin of St. Claude was fourth.

The two matched first-round leader Patrick Law from Glenboro by finishing at 8-over 148 for the two-day tournament, five strokes behind event winner Myles Sullivan of Portage and Teulon Golf Club runner-up Aaron Cockerill of Stony Mountain. But Moar was given third place on the strength of being the last one to birdie a hole, which he did on the par-4 16th, while Gobin was awarded fourth and Law fifth.

Since lots of people will hit the links, I have decided to take up the game again. After all, I need to learn some new and clever curse words.

Here are some interesting tidbits for you.

* Every year golfers use about 800-million golf balls and $630 million is spent annually on them in the U.S. alone.

* Way back in 1457, golf was banned in England because it was considered a distraction from the serious pursuit of archery.

* 50% of adult men have played golf while intoxicated. (But really is there any other way to play?)

Speaking of golf, thanks to Jim Prentice and Steven Ames, who just raised over $200K for children’s charities.

July 17th (cont’d) to 20th – Sask to Manitoba

July 17th – continued – Saskatoon
Unknown to me, the campground directory had a downtown office address for Gordon Howe Campground so that is where Wanda directed us. Also, the main downtown exit from the highway was closed so we wandered around a bit before figuring out where we were on a map and where we had to go.
Like I said in my brief entry, the campsite was full so we got an overflow site with no hookups – fine for one night. We then went downtown to “A Taste of Saskatoon” which was an event where many local restaurants set up tents and offer 3 food items for sale. We had eaten lunch so we both had dessert. There was also live music but it was not to our taste so we carried on. This took place in a park downtown that was right on the river (North Saskatchewan) that winds though the town so it was pretty.
We walked a bit downtown and then did some exploring in the truck before picking up some groceries and going back to the park. Updated the blog entries and got on the internet.
The county around here is pretty flat with lots of the bright yellow canola fields.

July 18th – Fri – to Prince Albert National Park
We headed north and slightly east to Prince Albert Ntl Park this morning. We saw an interesting row of empty rail cars (miles of them) that we assumed were waiting for crops to be harvested. There were breaks in the cars to allow vehicles to use access roads crossing the track.
I learned a lesson on the GPS system – you get what you ask for! I entered “Prince Albert Park” instead of the town of Waskasui so Wanda sent us to the nearest park border which meant we drove the rig on the scenic route for 30 miles inside the park instead of using the highway and entering through the northern entrance. Oh well, the road was only windy, nothing Terry couldn’t handle.
We had tried to find an RV site by phone and everything was full. But one park at Waskasui has 40 percent of the sites set as “first come, first served” so we gave it a shot. All those sites were full so they have a waiting list system and an overflow area. We filled up with water and headed to the big, grassy overflow site – quit nice and quiet in the trees. There was only one other rig there so we picked the most level spot , set up and had some lunch. A couple more rigs came in including one right beside us.
Then into town for sightseeing. Waskasui is on a large lake and has a nice, large, sandy beach which was being used by a lot of people. I took off my shoes to test the water and figured it was too cold for this pansy to go swimming.
There were more rigs set up when we got back. There were tons of black flies and mosquitoes but we could sit in the sun a bit before dinner without them bothering us. Our neighbors came back and invited us bring our drinks & chairs over. They (Larry & Lorraine) are from Kindersley, Sask – a town that we drove through on the way from Calgary. We moved to a nearby firepit and enjoyed a fire with wood supplied by the campground until the mosquitoes drove us in about 10.
We were planning on leaving tomorrow but Larry & Lorraine talked us into staying and playing golf.

July 19th – Sat – Waskesui
What a wonderful day!
It rained a lot last night so I wondered if we would be able to golf. It was totally cloudy when we got up but started clearing. Oops, when it was our tee time, the starter said the impending rain was due soon and sure enough, the guys teed off in a shower. But it immediately lessened to a sprinkle for Lorraine & I to tee off and it didn’t rain again. The golf course is set in trees and the cart paths wind around from one hole to the next – very picturesque. The greens were not in great shape but none of us could blame that for less than stellar games. But we all had a great time.
Larry & Lorraine had to show up at the RV park at 2:25 for the “waiting list system” so we had a drink at the clubhouse and we went back to our rig. Larry & Lorraine came back shortly and they did get a site so they invited us to dinner.
We taught Larry & Lorraine to play Sequence before dinner and then the “Golf” card game after dinner. Lorraine is a professional gospel singer and we were pleased to be able to hear a few songs from some CDs that she has recorded. Very talented! And Larry isn’t too bad a singer either. We do hope to meet up with them sometime down the road.
When we drove here, we saw some huge fields with a crop that was blooming purple-blue. Larry identified it for us as flax. It looks really great beside a yellow canola field. We have also seen fields that have various forms of small shelters scattered around and do not know what they are. Will let you know when I find out.

July 20th – Sun – to Swan Valley, Manitoba
Got an early start today as we slept well last night. The night before last, we ended up with a lot of mosquitoes in the rig. I got some sleep between 1 and 4 and very little after as just about the time I would get relaxed, another mosquito would show up. Last night, when we got back we turned on lights and went mosquito hunting with the fly swatter before going to bed. Much better.
Back through the town of Prince Albert and then east. Started out flat, then rolling treed areas, then back to flat. No traffic, good roads. Larry describes the flat parts of Saskatchewan as “so flat that you can watch your dog run away for 3 days”.
We stopped for a lunch break and got to Swan Valley about 2:30. The service station attendant directed us to a nice RV park so we got a spot, set up and relaxed after a bit of cleaning up & organizing.
Saskatchewan does not go on daylight savings time so even though Sask. & Manitoba are in the same time zone, we lost an hour today. So we are now 2 hours ahead of our Pacific time zone friends & relatives.

It turned out to be another nice Saturday so I decided to take another tour of the region and snap some photos. One of my co-workers had mentioned a restaurant in Gimli that I should try so I figured that would be my destination today for lunch. Strangely enough as I was leaving Gimli to head home I saw and talked to this co-workers brother who happened to be walking across the street where I was stopped at the intersection. I must be becoming Canadian when I meet people I know some 80km’s from my house. Anyway we chatted briefly because he was with family and was heading out of town himself. At first I wasn’t really sure where to start so I went back toward Lockport and took a few more photos of that area which I will post when I’m done with this blog entry. I did some reading on Lockport and found some very interesting information. Sometimes I come up with information that people who have lived here all their lives don’t know. I found some really interesting links on the history of Lockport and the Lockport Dam. If you have some time you might want to click on these links. I found them very interesting. Did you know that the locks at this dam are the only ones outside of Europe that use a design known as the Camere Design? See I told you I find out things.A quick (place is small) ride through there and then I took the highway north toward Gimli. I took a route to Gimli that usually I avoid because of the slow traffic zone and tons of people in an area known as Winnipeg Beachbut I thought it would be something to experience again. Lots of cottages in this area along with a couple of golf courses and of course a beach Arriving in Gimli a short time later I drove right to the restaurant parking lot and went in to eat. It is a Greek run establishment called the Europa with so many items on the menu that you wouldn’t believe it. I was told that the portions were more than ample here also but of the several Greek restaurants that I’ve been to here in Winnipeg, I find that you get more than enough to eat at all of them. There are more than enough fish-flies up here but more commonly known as mayflies or “Canadian Soldiers”. I was told about these insects and how they swarm and cover everything and then die leaving large piles and then they start to give off a fishey smell if you don’t clean them up. Disgusting!
>Anyway I had lunch and it wasn’t bad. A little on the greasy side but that was because of the tons of sauteed onions in the dish I had. I went for the Greek Melt which consisted of sauteed onions, bell peppers, mushrooms (lots of them) and chicken breast strips placed on two pieces of rye bread topped with mozzarella cheese and then baked. I will post the picture of this because I didn’t believe how much food this was going to be until they brought it to my table. Whoa! As I was leaving I stopped by where people had stands with lots of items they had made and found this neat wooden box (I will post a photo as soon as I get it) to store the cat’s food in. In fact if you look at the pictures I posted, you will see the box next to the table with the yellow table cloth in the photos Art Gallery & Craft Fair. The lady had one for Dog Food and one for Potatoes and Onions but I found that they didn’t live far from me so I ordered one that said Cat Food on it with an etched picture of a kitty wearing a bow. It has a lid on the top and this one I picked has a drawer in the bottom where I can put their canned cat food and other treats. I will probably have it by tomorrow.
It was another beautiful day for a drive with blue skies and awesome cloud formations and all along the country side there were fields of yellow (canola) and blue (flax) growing for miles on end so I took some pictures of that while I was driving along. Now I’m home and that’s the end of my tour. Hope all this educational stuff didn’t bore any of you to pieces but if found a lot of it interesting and just thought I would pass it along.
Tomorrow it looks as if I will be going with some friends to a couples cottage for the afternoon for dinner. Hope everyone else is having as great a weekend as I

ohnson’s sizzling finish gave him a 6-under-par 64 for a 264 total at Brown Deer Park golf course and his first triumph on the PGA Tour.

Jonathan Daniel, Getty Images
The victory provided Johnson, ranked 612th in the world, a top prize of $720,000 U.S. The 31-year-old Swede, who had missed eight of 11 cuts this season, had earned just $48,000 on tour before this event.

“It’s just amazing,” he said.

Tied for third at 267 were Dean Wilson (65), Chad Campbell (65) and Chris Riley (66), all of the U.S.

Johnson, who scored an ace on Thursday, got off to a bumpy start yesterday with bogeys at the second and fourth holes.

The slender Swede, however, posted seven birdies from the sixth hole on to push past a crowd of other players on the leaderboard.

He sealed victory with a laser second shot at the par-five 18th hole, where his fairway-wood second shot nearly hit the flagstick before settling at the back of the green. A two-putt birdie ensured victory.

“I got back on the back nine, played really solid,” he said. “All the hard work paid off.”

Victory put Johnson into the next major, the PGA Championship next month at Oakland Hills just outside of Detroit.

“Richard played great,” Duke said. “I shoot five under on Sunday and I don’t get it done. Nothing you can say about that.”

Kenny Perry, who had three wins in his previous five events, charged to the finish with four birdies and an eagle at the 16th, but his 64 left him on 268, four shots back.

Oshawa’s Jon Mills, who was tied for third at the start of play yesterday, also shot a 70 and ended up tied for 19th at 270.

Knost gets it done

Colt Knost shot a 10-under-par 62 yesterday and rolled to victory in the Price Cutter Charity Classic, a Nationwide Tour event at Springfield, Missouri.

Knost’s 26-under total of 262 left him four strokes ahead of fellow U.S. golfer Webb Simpson (65) and in possession of the $108,000 U.S. top prize.

Calgary’s James Love, who started the final round tied for second, shot a 70 for a total of 271 and a tie for eighth place.

Heffernan rallies for victory

Calgary’s Wes Heffernan fired a final-round 66 to rally for victory in the Canadian Tour Players’ Cup at the Elm Ridge Club in Winnipeg.

Heffernan ended the four-round tournament with a total score of 270, one shot ahead of Calgary’s Dustin Risdon (62) and U.S. golfer John Ellis (66).

Ottawa’s Andrew Jensen ended up in 61st place after shooting a closing 76 for 293.

Eaks makes it look easy

R.W. Eaks cruised to a six-stroke victory in the 3M Championship, shooting a 7-under 65 for a total of 193 in the Champions Tour event at Blaine, Minnesota.

Patrick Law can’t afford to take a breath, because he has three golfers on his heels who know the course they are all playing on far more than he does.

The 16 year old from Cypress River, representing the Glenboro Golf and Country Club, used three birdies on the back nine to propel him to an opening-round even-par 70 and the lead after Day 1 at the Manitoba Blue Cross junior men’s rural provincial championship at Portage Golf Club on Monday.

Law is hardly in the clear, though, entering today’s final round of the 36-hole event as eight golfers are within five strokes of him, including a trio which call the Portage course home.

A beast was lurking on the back nine of the Breezy Bend Country Club in Headingley on Monday, and Dean Cairns could not escape its fangs unscathed.

The Portage la Prairie golfer had two double bogeys and three bogeys during a six-hole stretch which ended up leaving him with a 78 to put him in a tie for 26th place after the first round of the Manitoba men’s mid-amateur championship at 6-over.

Cairns, the only Portager in the field of 102 starters, is nine shots back of tournament leader Peter More from Winnipeg’s Elmhurst Golf and Country Club. More notched six birdies to balance out three bogeys in his round of 69 to come in at 3-under, two shots up on Matlock’s Garth Collings, who calls Breezy Bend his home course.

Cairns began his day with a bogey on the first hole and a birdie on the second, then strung together nine consecutive pars to reach the turn in 36 and appeared ready to continue his consistent play throughout the back nine.

Michael Walton fired a nine-under 62 Friday to take the lead after two rounds of the Canadian Tour Players Cup.

Walton, who opened with a 71 in the first round, carded nine birdies and an eagle along with just two bogeys in the second round to climb to nine-under, 133 overall.

He held a one-shot lead on Rob Grube and John Ellis, who were at eight-under 134. Grube shot a 65 on Friday, while Ellis, who was one of seven first-round co-leaders, had a 68.

Rob Oppenheim, another of the overnight co-leaders, posted a 70 Friday and was tied for fourth place with Wes Heffernan (67), Derek Gillespie (68) and Andy Matthews (69) at six-under, 136.

There were 33 players overall who were within six shots of Walton’s lead after two days at Pine Ridge Golf Club. Defending champion Mike Mezei was among them following a 69 that placed him in a 14-way tie for 21st place at three-under 139.

Walton tied the course record with his 62, despite limping out with a 35 on the front nine. He went on to scorch the back nine for a 27, a run that began with a birdie-birdie-eagle start on the 10th through 12th holes.

“This kind of round has been hibernating,” Walton joked. “No, I’ve actually been playing some good golf lately and have been shooting some good scores.”
