Josh Bailey wins Western Canadian Blind Golf Championship

Posted on July 6, 2017July 6, 2017 by Gazette Staff

Josh Bailey of Regina won the 2017 Western Canadian Blind Golf Overall Championship at a two-day tournament at the Legends Golf Cub in Warman July 4 and 5. Bailey’s guide-caddy for the event was his mother, Val Bailey.
What makes Bailey’s accomplishment even more impressive is that he golfs with only one hand, swinging the club in a forehand motion with his right arm. Bailey established a commanding lead early in the tournament and held on through tough, windy conditions on the second day to take the title.

New Zealand fastball team wraps up Canadian tour

Posted on June 30, 2017 by Gazette Staff

After a solid month of going head-to-head against Canadian and American club teams, a New Zealand U19 fastball squad is primed for a major tournament in Brisbane, Australia.
But they don’t have much time to prepare.

Members of the New Zealand ISA U19 fastball team gear up for a game against the Warman Gems on June 29 with a traditional Maori war dance known as a ‘haka’

“We fly out on Friday, and arrive in Australia on Sunday morning, their time,” said Craig Waterhouse, manager of the International Softball Academy (ISA) U19 team. “We’ve got a warm-up game that night to shake the rust off, and play our first game Monday morning.
“But we lose a day on the trip, so we literally get off the plane and onto the field.”
No big deal, according to Waterhouse. For the past 28 days, the team has been barnstorming across Manitoba, North Dakota and Saskatchewan, taking on squads their own age and older at exhibition games and tournaments. They’ve done well in some contests, and gotten their butts kicked in others.
On Thursday, June 29, the Kiwis wrapped up their tour with a game against the Warman Gems at Prairie Oasis Park in Warman. Despite being on the wrong end of a 10-1 drubbing, the lads from down under took it all in stride. Continue reading “New Zealand fastball team wraps up Canadian tour” →
