“IT’S MORE Than Just a
Golf Show, It’s a Full Day
Out on the Course!”’

That was the theme utilized by
promoters of the hugely successful
Vancouver Golf Show staged this
past weekend at the PNE’s Food
Building and Forum.

. For North Vancouver’s Ary
‘Olson, his brief visits Saturday
and Sunday did, indeed, feel like
“*a full day out on the course.’’

Less than a month ago, Mon-
day, Jan. 27, to be precise, Olson
suffered a brain hemorrhage. He
woke up in the middle of the
night with a horrible headache
and within minutes his wife,
Alice, was dialing 911 for the
paramedics.

During his recovery period at
St. Paul’s Hospital, Olson con-
tinually expressed concern about
not being able to attend the an-
nual golf show. The arrangements
he’d made to be on hand to pro-
mote his new book, Backspin ...
100 years of golf in British Col-
umbia, had fallen by the wayside
with his sudden sickness.

Realizing his concern, a small
army of friends and admirers
assured Arv his 2'-years-in-
the-making publication would be

“dutifully displayed at the B.C.
Golf Centennial booth. .

Never in their wildest dreams
did any cf them figure Olson
would be strong enough to make
an appearance, fet alone accom-
modate people buying the book
with personalized autographed
copies. :

When the in-house public ad-
dress announcer spread the word
that Olson was on the premises
Saturday afternoon, long lineups
of well-wishers instantly assembl-
ed at the B.C. Golf Centennial
location.

One young man who purchased
a book and waited patiently to
meet Olson was Craig Lennon, a
member at Seymour Golf &

‘Country Club and an_ earnest
committee worker for the annual
Jake Miiferd Invitational charity
golf tournament.

Olson, a sportswriter for the
Vancouver Sun for the past 36
years, asked enough questions to
determine that he had purchased
his wedding ring from Craig’s
deceased dad, Joe, in another time
zone when upstart reporters were
happy to be making $7,000 a year.

Craig was pleased.

On the short drive home over
the Second Narrows Bridge fater
in the afternoon, Olson said, ‘‘I
feel as though I've had four
tum-and-cokes and I'm a little
dizzy, but | wouldn't have missed
today for all the money in the
world. It was great therapy.”’

He returned ‘for more Sunday
under the constant surveillance of
Alice, whom Arv describes as
‘*my wife and best friend.”

Several of Olson’s ‘‘golfing
brothers’? contributed to his ther-
apeutic weekend;- Chuck Gage,
Dick White, Mike Keffer,
Dorothy Brown, Tan Fraser and
fellow Pacific Press inksters Ar-
chie McDonald, Denny Boyd and
Kent Gitchrist.

The smile on Arv’s face, the
twinkle in his eye, made their ef-
forts so worthwhile.

It was, without question,
than just a golf show.’”
