Clouser places 45th in golf tourney
McCormick Clouser, a Norwell junior, finished tied for 45th in the 62nd Donald Ross Junior Golf Championship last weekend at Pinehurst Country Club in Pinehurst, N.C.
Clouser was among 191 competitors in the boys’ 15-17 age division.
On the first day, Clouser shot a three-over par 75 on the Pinehurst No. 2 course, which will be the site of the 2014 Men’s and Women’s U.S. Open. He carded two birdies, three bogeys and a double bogey. On day two, Clouser carded an eight-over 80 on the Pinehurst No. 4 layout with eight bogeys.

Races postponed at Anderson
ANDERSON — The 12th New Year’s Day Bash, which was scheduled for Friday, has been postponed due to cold, windy conditions and rescheduled for Saturday, March 13.
Speedway officials decided to reschedule the event in March, because January’s forecast predicts similar frigid conditions.
These conditions would be too extreme for competitors, fans and track officials. Additionally, the track’s fire extinguishers would be unable to handle the weather conditions.
The racing program was slated to feature ThunderCars, Pure Stocks, Front Wheel Drives (Oval and Figure 8s) and Mini Cups.
