Leisure Hour Golf Tourney
TEE TIM E IN THE
NORTHWEST
The Rippling River Resort was the
site for the 41st Annual Leisure Hour
G o lf Club Tournament and the field
was full. There were 156 golfers en­
tered in the tournament and the stores
indicated that most o f those 156 came
to play. The weather was perfect for
three days o f golf and relaxation.
Players from as far away as Hous­
ton, Texas, Denver, Colorado, and
Phoenix. Arizona, came for the fun
and competition. When the dust
cleared and everything was settled it
ws Portland and Seattle that captured
the gold. The great northwest proved
that many o f the best golfers in the
Western States Golfing Association
are from this part o f the country.
C alifornia was well represented
but could only capture a small
amount o f the loot that Leisure Hour
made available. In the Championship
flight, where the best o f the best ga­
ther, it was once again Ashley Smith
from the Bay Area G olf Club who
spurned the challenge o f the young
lions.
Ashley is a scratch golfer that
roams the wst coast with a gentle­
manly gait taking tournament after
tournament with masterful case. A
fitting tribute was once again be­
stowed upon this gentleman’s shoul­
ders as l eisure Hour honored Ashley
with their Eli Harris Award.
W illie Harris, proprietor o f the
Sportsmans Barber Shop, House o f
Sounds, and House Unlimited, is the
sponsor o f this great trophy. The per­
petual trophy is in memory o f the
late Eli Harris who died while serving
in the capacity o f President o f Leisure
Hour G o lf Club. The award began in
1969 and this year was the sixth time
that Ashley Smith lias won the honor.
That translates into six wins in the
championship division. The names o f
the previous winners are all inscribed
on the face o f the trophy and it reads
like a personal tribute to Ashley Smith.
Ashley spotted Robert Clark of
Leisure Hour six shots, and he spot­
ted Sam Jennings o f Seattle five and
still walked o ff with the gold. C lark
won the first low net award and Jen­
nings was second low net.
Portland's Kevin Newborne won
the Junior division and added to his
trophy case. Paul Kelly placed second
and brother Byron made it a clean
sweep for, Portland in the Junior
Division.

LEE ELDER W IN S PGA
SENIOR TO U R N A M E N T
PGA WESTERN OPEN
Scott Verplank became the first
amateur to win a Professional Golfers
Association tournament since 1954,
but the money went to brother Jim
Thorpe.
Verplank's
sudden-death
putt
dropped Thorpe to second but
Thorpe took home the $90,000 first
prize money because o f Verplank’s
amateur status.
Thorpe three-putted the second
playoff hole on the Butler National
It was the second time this season
that Lee Elder was forced into a
sudden-death playoff for a win and
also the second time he won with a
birdie putt on the first playoff hole.
The win was worth $30,000 at the
PGA Seniors Classic at Concord,
Mass. Elder is a former Western
Slates Golfing Association player and
will be playing in Salem later this
month to raise money for the Black
Colleges Committee Inc. See ad on
