Jimmy Beeland Valuable Experience
While many young
people were relaxing in
the shade or finding
comfort from the heat in
a swimming pool, Perry's
Jimmy Beeland was
working hard on his golf
game by participating in
eleven different junior
golf tournaments. He did
very well and this is quite
an achievement for the
Westfield High School
Senior.
J immy is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Martin Beeland
at 609 Hillcrest Avenue in
Perry.
After making his
contribution to the
Perry High head football coach Bob Morrow

Panthers “soap” game two weeks ago. But with
the strongest contingent of playere in his eight
years at the PHS mentor, those looks of gloom
should produce an abundance of smiles this fall.
Westfield golf team,
which finished as state
SEAIS champions,
Jimmy played in four
junior qualifying tour
naments. These tour
naments qualified golfers
(those who received a
certain amount of points
to qualify) on the All-
Middle Georgia team,
which would then play a
collection of golfers from
other sections of the state
in a state tournament at
Houston Lake Country
Club in Perry.
Jimmy easily qualified
for the All-Middle

tenth in the Arthur Jef
fords Memorial tour
nament in Savannah and
fifth in the Southeastern
Juniors at Statesboro.
When asked about his
thoughts on this summer
and about his future in
golf, Jimmy responded
by saying, "I feel that the
tournaments I played in
this summer will prove
very beneficial towards
my game. Every tour
nament I play in helps me
more and more, regar
dless of how I do.- As for
college, I would like to
play golf and attend
Georgia Southern in
Staiesooro and, yes, one
day I would like to
become a Professional."
Jimmy has made a fine
showing this summer
while gaining valuable
experience and con
fidence. The kind of hard
work and dedication he
has shown can only in
crease his chances for
reaching his goal as a
professional golfer.

The One Man Dove Hunt
Dove shooting in the
south Is somewhat of a
social occasion with good
sized crowds hunting
over a large field. Some
of these are leased by
clubs, others are pay as
you go operations set up
by enterprising farmers
and others are special
invitation only jobs where
the land owner just in
vites his close friends.
There are several
alternatives to these
types of shoots that you
can do on your own or
with one or two buddies.
Doves will come to
decoys, especially late in
the afternoon. All you
need is about a half dozen
full bodied or silhouette
decoys. These need to be
placed on limbs without
leaves so they will be
more visible.
One of my favorite
tricks is to cut down a
dead sapling and drag It
to a brushy fence row that
lies under a dove flight
path. I place my decoys
on the bare limbs of the
sapling and then stand it
up next to a fence post. I
then lash the trunk of the
sapling to the fence post
to hold it up. The brush
along the fence row
provides a ready made
blind for concealment as
I await the arrival of
birds coming to socialize
with my decoys.
Water holes are
another good place to set
up decoys. This method
works best if the weather
has been dry. For some
ungodly reason, doves
would rather drink from
a mud puddle than
anyplace else. If mud
puddles are scarce, then
a small lake or stock pond
is a good place to set up.
Doves don't like to
drink at a location that is
grown up In weeds or
brush. They prefer open
ground, so select your
spot accordingly. Cutting
a sapling and placing it
strategically as
described above is often
the only way you can put
your decoys in a prime
location. You may have
to use post hole diggers to
set your sapling where
you want it.
Late afternoon or early
evening is the best time to
set up at a water hole.
Just remember that
shooting hours only ex
tend to sundown.
Water holes are pretty
good locations to ambush
doves, even if you don't
use decoys.
Shooting doves over
decoys or water holes is
close range work. For
this type of shooting, use
a shotgun with improved
cylinder or a skeet choke.
Eights or nines are the
best shot sizes for taking
doves at these ranges.
Decoys and water holes
provide plenty of action,
just remember the daily
limit is 12 birds and the
posseseion limit is 24.
