Tips from the Pro-
5 i
Joe "Da Pro"
It's almost summer but there is
still a little chill in the air. Remember
to warm up bef ore taking the 1 st tee.
If you have the opportunity to hit
balls before your round, start with
your short irons at 20-30 percent
power to establish a good rhythm
and gradually work your way up to
the driver. If you arc late on the tee,
chip and putt to get into a smioth
swing. This will help create a rtorc
relaxed tempo when you start jour
game. According to most HawaMans
and Indians, we chip and putt alot
before we tee off.
And don't forget, the Thursday
evening league started April 9, and
eveyone is invited to come on out
and enjoy.
Thursday's League results: The
game w as, "Play your best golf Low
Gross and Low Net."
Gross Division: Louie Pitt and
Willie Stacona fired a smooth 37 and
tied for first place winning $40 each
in merchandise at the Pro Shop. Sec
ond place was two strokes behind
with a 39 posted by Keiki Iokeapa
Rauschcnburg his putter was really
cooking for $20. Our third place fin
ish was 42 posted by William "Hobo"
Patt a familar name on the leader
board, He won back his entry.
In the Net Division an excellent
round turn-in by Madeline
Queahpama rattled all the boys with
a 39 for her season opener and a clear
first place with a 29 Net score for
$40. Great job Madeline! I think Les
is still on the course because Madeline
left all the guys behind. She was in
the "Zone." Second place with a 30
was our one and only of only 1 1,
Verna Conner. Bringing up a 3 1 for
his ST win BobCoshiano with $20 to
reinvest in lessons or more golf balls.
Congratulations Bob. The fourth
place honors went to Big Les Billy.
Les has been improving in the past
season and we expect to sec more of
him this year on the leader board.
April 1 6, Team Best Ball Format,
first place team with a runaway score
of 28 consisting of Verna "Too Many
Strokes" Conner and Steve "Pin
Placement" Kricgcr for $40 each.

Lady Vols win White Swan tourney April 3-5
By Ronnie Suppah
The Warm Springs Lady Vols
basketball team participated in the
Springfest Basketball tournament
held at White Swan, Washington on
April 3-5, 1998. There were six teams
which were: Yakama Hoop Masters,
White Swan Cougars, Wapato
Washington, Lacy, Washington,
Lapwai Idaho and Warm Springs.
The Lapwai team won their class
division state; and the White Swan
team participated in the play offs.
The competition is great for the girls,
and they can continue to grow and
excel from participating in this caliper
of games. The girls that traveled over
were Taralee Suppah, Deece Suppah,
Reina Estimo, Amy Suppah, Billie
Suppah, Cece Polk, Blanche Mitchell
and Shamona Charley.
They played and defeated the
Yakama Hoop Masters, 59-33; then
the Lapwai, Idaho team, 8 1 -73 ; then
awaited the backdoor bracket
winners. Lapwai defeated the
Yakama Hoop Masters to advance to
the championship game. Lapwai gave
the Lady Vols a real tough go, but
were a little tired which eventually
paid off for us. The final score of the
championship game was 64-60. The
team has lost two of its starters, but
the younger girls are stepping up and
doing a great job. It'll take another
tournament to tell, but, they're all in
great shape.
The team won nice jackets for
championship; had two all-stars,
Deece Suppah and Reina Estimo,
and the Most Valuable Player (MVP),
Taralee Suppah. They all contributed
to the effort and all deserve
recognition. I did experiment around
with the starting lineup each game
and couldn't really see where I lost
anything from one to the other. The
team rotation and acceptance of one
another has been significant as
comoared to where they were. I
appreciate the sportsmanship, the
cool, and the team effort that these
girls exercise at all of their games.
Once again, I'd like to thank all of
the sponsors. Without you we
couldn't afford to attend these games.
Next up: The Baby Vols (10-12 year
olds) will be heading for Bonanza,
Oregon for a tournament on April
10-1 1, 1998; and the Lady Vols will
be heading for Ft. Hall, Idaho on
April 17-19, 1998.
I want to mention and thank,
Charlie Minthorn and Joe Ball of
Mission Oregon; and Patsy Tallman
of White Swan, Washington for their
hospitality and generosity of not only
their homes but their food. It takes
exceptional human beings such as
these to help the visitors and
especially the youth of our Indian
Nations. May the creator bless you
and answer your prayers.
