Golf Champion Decided by
Fraction of Inch

Golf is a game measured in
yards and won by inches. A sedate
stroll down the fairway ends in
heart-pounding, breath-catching
tension as the white puckered ball
rolls towards the black hole on the
green.

This year, the B.C. Colleges Ath-
letic Association's individual golf
championship was decided by a
putt that rolled less than an inch
past the mark. Douglas College’s
Bryn Parry won the 144-hole tour-
nament, when his nearest opponent
missed a 20-foot putt for birdie by
one-half of an inch.

Parry was one-shot ahead of
Kevin Greenard of Malaspina Col-
lege going into the final hole at the
Seymour Golf Course in North Van-
couver. Had Greenard made his
birdie shot, the pressure would
have been on Parry to birdie as well
to win. But Greenard’s aim was off
by a fraction and Parry needed

only to two-putt for par and the vic-
tory.

The final confrontation was
played out in typical Vancouver
fashion as rain and wind whipped
the golf course. Going into the
final 36 holes, Parry was four shots
off the lead. By the final day, just
two shots separated the top three
competitors. By shooting 74 and 76
in the final two rounds, and in less
than ideal weather conditions,
Parry was able to clinch the College
individual championship. His
Douglas College team-mate Brian
Killins also finished strongly by
shooting a 74 for the best final
round.

Parry, 18, began playing goif
seriously five years ago. He has
played on the junior tour for three
years, and despite winning the col-
lege tournament, he says he wasn’t
satisfied with the second part of his
season this year. Next year, he
hopes to play in some of the
amateur tournaments in the Lower
Mainland. “I'd like to get ex-
perience with some of the older fel-
lows,” he says.

This summer, Parry had the op-
portunity to play with his father on
five British Open courses. Douglas
College coach Gert van Niekerk
says this gave Parry an advantage

entering league play, as he was
tuned up and had his game in good
shape.

In addition, he says Parry
doesn’t get rattled when his game
goes badly. “Some young guys
have a bad hole and they blow up,
lose composure,” van Niekerk says.
“But Bryn can puta bad hole be-
hind him.” He adds that Parry is
particularly good off the tee box.
“He drives the ball beautifully. He
doesn’t get into trouble.”
