‘AT SOME point in his new
‘job as the Premier of

Ontario, that onetime golf
pro, Mike Harris, undoubted-
ly will be harpooned with the
same sort of spears Ike
Eisenhower had thrown at
him when he was the U.S.
President.

Perhaps the most painful of all
for the most gold-addicted chief,
executive in his nation’s history
came from a critic who wrote:
“President Eisenhower made one of
the most difficult decisions of his
political career today. He changed
from the interlocking to the overlap-
ping grip.” Cenainly the election of
Harris has the potential to forever
change the vernacular and the

nomenclature of the parliamentary

scene all over Canada. Will his per-
formance be judged on how he does
on the first hole? The front nine?

“The back nine? It's inevitable.

And in what terms will it be

: judged? Par? Birdie?

Eagle?.!.or...Bogey? Double bogey?
Triple bogey? What can he do, in the
parliamentary sense, that will eam
him a nole-in-one?

The possibilities are endless,

Golf has various fies. Such as hang
ing...preferved...improved...dmpossi-
ble. How Jong will it take for the
opposition benches to invoke all of
them?

Will those he appoints to cubinet
be described in the ‘Toronto papers
as making the cut? When he
addresses the legislacure, will it be
trom an open or closed stance’? And
will he, fike most golfers, waggle
during his address?

You think all this is silly?

Itcan get sillier, For instance:
when he introduces legislation to
bring in workfare, will he precede it
with a stentorian “FORE!”

And how about the inevitable
spin doctors? Will backspin be their
forte? Will the press gallery review
his ministers’ performances by
assigning them handicaps? Will
Queens Park also be known us The
Clubhouse? And will there be a 19th
hole comparable to the Union Club
in Victoria’?

There are other go!f terms that
may take on different connotations
in the Ontario legislative process.
Honor. Out of bounds, Pitch and
tun. Quartelsome (slang for a mixed
foursome). Play sufe. Recovery.
Sclatf, Sandbagger. Twosome (as in
Gordon Wilson and Judy Tyabji).
Scramble. Stymied. Tee off, Whilfs,
And how about yips?

The nonsense continues. With
this massive movement to the right,
will roundhouse slices become an
Ontario virtue? What lies in store for
hockers of all kinds? Willa Nassau
bec ame a weekend cabinet retreat at
a Bahamus golf resort?

Finally, will the golf pro-cum-".
premier be given the occasional mul-

ligan? Or, with that massive majori- |

ty, will he ever need one? In time, he
likely will.
