THE FIRST INDUCTEES
Portlanders, you’re in for a treat!
On August 3 and 4, 198), at the Rip
pling River Resort, some o f the most
beautiful and talented Black golfers
west of the Rockies will be within
reach. During the daylight hours, it
will be a battlefield, but when the
sun goes down, there will be 144 party
animals trying to put their feet on the
rock.
If you're not a golfer, don’t be
dismayed
There’s something for
everyone. There will be a dance both
nights, a fish-fry hosted by the Kelly
dan, and a host o f celebrities for the
professional eyeballers Former NBA
great, Cazzie Russell, makes the trek
to Portland each summer to try and
draw a bead on Ashley Smith in the
Championship flight. D on't be sur
prised if you see former Boston Celtic
great Bill Russell strolling the fair
ways in " A ” flight. James ” J.B .”
Brim and Jimmy Williams, (wo sand
bagging pistoleros from the Sacra
mento Area Black Golfers Club are
always threats to drag the gold back
to the Sacramento Valley.

President's
message
June 1985
C_ormei Valley where the trees seem to grow taller and the grass
appears greener than the Jolly Green Giant, is ogam hosting WSGA $ Member
ship Meeting and Annual Championships The beautitui Rancho Canada Country
Club under the directorship of Nick Lombardi, will be the sight of our 31st An
nual Championships We welcome all of the new officers and members who are
here for the first time and especially Mile-High Golt Club of Denver Colorado
Thrs has been a wonderful year for golf The activities provided by the
member clubs at their annual tournaments have been beyond reproach WSGA
has through the years attempted to provide the proper atmosphere for its
golfing members and guests We are only fulfilling the dreams of our
predecessors in providing a quality program for WSGA s members
First, since we are a handicapping organization, we want and deserve the
recognition given to the other associations under the umbrella of the United
States Golt Association (USGA1 We do not wish to join forces with Northern or
Southern California Golfing Association. Publinks. or any other handicapping
association we just want to be known and recognized as a bonafide han
dicapping organization throughout the Unfed States
Secondly minority goiters have always had a difficult time in getting the
most for their money WSGA is no different Although we have as an
association, gotten many golf course and hotel owners started with a Dang
we have seen these same owners price us out of their hotels and oft their golf
course What are we going to do about this situation'’ Are we going to sit back
and ollow this to take place’’ No we are not going to go another 31 years and
not have something of our own We should consider starting an investment unit
this unit would enable us to build our own golfing and housing complex second
to none We must do it now. we have waited 30 years too long
Presidents you must keep your members motivated and excited about your
dub and the association if you continually support the philosophy of WSGA and
its program your members will follow your lead
Area Vice Presidents you must monitor each one of your clubs It is your
responsibility to keep them moving and growing in order to do this you must
meet them on a regular basis become involved in the planning of their tour
naments and help them to meet deadlines
I feel more involvement throughout WSGA by the tournament chairperson or
his/her committee members would enhance the running of sanctioned tour
naments according to WSGA guidelines This couia eliminate many of the com
plaints
Committee chairperson, enlarge your committees to include members from
each of the areas of WSGA We need solidarity before we undertake any major
project We recognize members outside the State of California
A quarterly publication is another dream of the founders We must have a
communication vehicle to disperse information to members of the association on
a regular basis in order to do this the Publicity Committee has been renamed
the Editorial Committee Each club president must be committed to making this
a viable committee
thank you for your continued support and cooperation during the pas’ two
yea's i only hope I can serve you better in 1985/86
