The reason I ask is that a similar sports thrill, be it a millionâ€"toâ€"one or greater odds, awaits players of public and semiâ€"private courses this year who are willing to ante up $40 to become members of the Ontario Public Links Golf Association for the 1988 season. Any of you golfers out there feel like Rocky Balboa of Rocky film fame? You&know, the washedâ€"up pugilist who incredibly found himself battling for the world‘s champiâ€" onship? No, being a member of the OPLGA won‘t get you a shot at the world championship of golf. But, if you join the OPLGA, and are fortunate enough to score a holeâ€"inâ€"one during the season, not only will you receive immediate benefits, but you will also gain entry into the Molson Light/OPLGA Million Dollar Holeâ€"inâ€"One shootâ€"off Friâ€" day, Oct. 7. At that event, all qualifiers (another way to become eligible is to have your name selected in a monthly draw of all OPLGA members) will meet at a course yet unspecified, and each contestant will be given one golf ball at a par three not exceeding 180 yards. Anyone who scores a holeâ€"inâ€"one will receive one million dollars, and attractive closestâ€"toâ€"theâ€"pin consolation prizes include an Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and two tickets to Bermuda with Eastern Airlines. * GOLF ‘83 FOR RESERVED TEEâ€"OFF TIMES OR FURTHER INFORMATION CALL ©..
