I drew Sue Valentine's name and with hpr score of 57 and my 51, we were the lowest and won the new golf balls. Also, Polly DO hertv. Delores McDowell and I played off our tie for the lowest number of putts and l lucKuy won. (And I do mean lucky, for I chipped in on the last hole and didn't have to take any putts on that hole). Dauntless Cork Norene, after landing in a soeey, murky, mud dy mess, decided to try to blast her wav out and up over the bank instead of taking a penalty.. Well she waded in practically up to her ankles, poised ana strucK did girl golfer Cork Norene get out of the tules or did ner utile whitp oDDonent win the first round? Join me next week.
