The Viking Golf Glassic
Where everyone
is a winner
by Stephen Hjalmarson
First there was the Du Maurier Golf
Classic, where our own Bea Sharpe
was one stroke off the pace and was
the winner of round trip tickets for
two to San Francisco. Then came the
Icelandic Canadian Frón 2nd Annual
Viking Golf Classic held at the Tuxedo
golf course on Saturday, September
12th.
Twenty-three top seeded players
scrambled around the course seeking a
spot in the winner’s circle. We all
knew the competition would be tough
and the cream certainly rose to the
top. Simonson, Kristjansson, Sigfusson
& Hjalmarson (sound like an account-
ing firm? maybe; golfers definitely)
tore up the course and took away the
top prizes with a one under par finish.
Following the game the group
returned for a delicious pot luck sup-
per prepared at the Scandinavian
Centre by volunteers Lauga Sveinson,
Gunnþóra Gísladóttir, Iola Nicholas,
Kendra Jonasson, Sandra Gray and
Eleanor Wainwright.
I.C.F. president Hallþor Bjornson
thanked all participants and presented
the prizes to the participants and rec-
ognized the support from our corpo-
rate sponsors Rogers Cantel Service
Centre, Rent-Way Inc. and Stemco.

"A mad, scurrilous view of the
'underworld'. Superb reading
for adult and child alike."
Illustrated by author
This is a story about two sisters,
Sara-no-hair and O-Sefanefanie,
who have nothing to do one afternoon,
and decide to dig a deep hole in the
sand, to see what might be underneath
(as most children do).
The charm in this tale lies partly in
its fantasy elements ~ nothing is
ever explained ~ partly in the playful
use of language.

tee box Ray asked them to keep it
down for a minute while he was in his
back swing. What a mistake, the jokes
now became “Quiet everybody, Ray is
hitting off”, or “Shush, Ray is about to
swing”.
Ray and his harem placed very well
with a fourth place finish. Thanks to
the booming 210 yard drives of Elaine
(but she tumed into a bit of a hooker
on her approach shots), and the dead-
ly accurate approach shots of Isabel
(mind you she putted the same dis-
tance) and the numerous one-putt
greens of our star putter Susan we did
very well. I don’t think Ray made a
shot but what do you expect from a
guy who was a nervous wreck".
Remember Ray, a diamond was once a
lump of coal that did well under pres-
The players were patient as they waited
to tee off.

by Heiða Sigfusson. The men’s longest
drive was won by Kevin Johnson and
the closest to the pin honours were
taken by Stephen Hjalmarson.
Carl Johnson, whose team was
nicknamed the three drunks and the
sober guy (because the girls had a beer
or two on the course), was asked what
it was like to tee off with three beauti-
ful young women. He indicated that
some guys get all the luck and that he
wouldn’t miss next years toumament
for the world.
Ray Gislason, who found himself
in the same predicament of having
three female golf partners stated that
this was an all new experience for him
too. His nerves were shot from the

under pressure all around the course.
They would say things like, no pres-
sure on you Ray, but we need you to
put this one on the green; or we’re all
counting on you to make this putt;
and they persisted in just cracking
jokes constantly. Finally on the fourth
sure: you have got to learn to play in
front of a gallery.
Hallþór reminded us all to flag our
calendars for next year’s upcoming
3rd Annual Viking Golf Classic where
everyone has lots of fun. Don’t miss it
all you golfers and would-be golfers
out there!
