HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, April 3, 1958 Over The Tee Cup By Jackie Labhart Hollo again fellow tee totalers. The old pot's perkln' once more, s null ud vour tee bag and have a cup. To coin a trite phrase (with a slight variation); Spring has sprung. The grass has riz'. And the Willow Creek Golf Course is back in biz (ness). As aforementioned, with the coming of spring, the link fever has combined germs with the spring fever virus to induce the yearly disease known as "golf itis". A word to those with weak ened systems be on the lookout for the following symptoms: Stiff sore, aching muscles, (just ask one of our famous golfing grand mothers, Rheumatism Roberta, or better known as dauntless Dou gherty.) A sudden rush in the purchase of new golf balls, (most of the old ones are in the creek). A lack of clerks in the stores, (you'll find them on the course and may negotiate business be tween holes). Suggested preventative for "All Is Not Gold That Glitters" By Phil Blakney Recently our government found It necessary to take action against certain door-to-door salesmen of vita mins and other medicines. In their eagerness to make a sale, these agents were making claims that were untrue. Their prices were found to be excessive. Your health is too Impor tant to entrust to people of no medical or pharmaceu tical knowledge. Physicians and pharmacists consider your welfare more impor tant than immediate prof Its. Be safe. Let your physi cian tell you what to take, and depend on us pharma cists to make certain your vitamins and medicines are of high quality and fairly priced.

PHIL'S PHARMACY 105 N. Main PRESCRIPTION CHEMISTS Quotation by John Hey wood (1197-1577) Copyright 1958 (3W4) "golfitis": Nothing! Absolutely nothing! (If you've had it, you've got it. If you get it. You've had it!) Enuff nonsense; I've put in the cream and sugar, so let's get on to the main ingredients of rny tee cup. Our first ladies day of this sea son was Tuesday, and despite Miss Spring's threatening petti coat of clouds, eleven fearless fe males floundered foolishly far from the fairways. The errant el even were Cork Norene, Shirley Loyd, Kay Robinson, Dee Gribble, Marie McQuarrie, Jan Dowen, Sue Valentine, Hazel Mahoney, Ro berta Doherty, Betty Brown and this would-be writer. Prizes were to be awarded for the day's play, but it was decided half way through the nine holes that we would wait until next week, when there .was more competit ion. (That last statement seems hilariously amusing for none of us would have been competition to anyone; as we all shot in the sixties (which is lousy) except for Dee. But then she is uncons cious most of the time and al ways shoots a good game). One male member of the club was conspicuously present, as he was spraying weeds and the "delicate" aroma of his product drifted obnoxiously over the course. (No wonder Dee was un conscious; Gribble must have dropped a dribble in her bag be fore she left home). After we finished the nefar ious nine holes, we met at the Wishing Well for lunch and a general griping period over the poor game we had all pdayed. Halfway through the meal we were joined by late comers, De lores McDowell and Bonnie Ma toon. Attention skin divers: Take hie-hwav 74 two miles north, turn left at Wishing Well, walk 400 Daces due west to stream of wa ter. At this spot the partee line has it that a lost golf mine lies dormant in the murky depths of Willow Creek. Due to the high water during the past winter, the little white treasures have not been salvaged hy the usual wad ing crew. (But you'd better hurry for Dee found nine unmarked balls Sunday while searching for one of hers.) Speaking of golf balls if Cork continues to drive hers like she has been, the Van guard and Explorer better make room, for the Norene satellite will soon orbit into space. Sunday was a work day for the men. So Shirley, Hazel, Jan, Mar io and Dee decided to take some coffee and doughnuts down to the follows. Well upon arrival, the lure of the links enticed them to Dlav a few holes but I heard there was quite a bit of contusion wnen u sianeu iu nan. (Imagine it rather confusing af ter putting your ball in the cup to find that it had melted). During the winter many im provements were made on the course. Two new fairways were cleared and leveled and in a few months we should have two new holes.

But it seems to make a very good target when vou are approaching from the front, for Bev Gunerson was stan ding in it and almost got bopped twice in the same day.

Of course you may not have any insides left, but you'll still be safe behind).
