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).

"All Is Not Gold

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.

"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. Also a drive protect
or was built on one of the tee
offs which is supposed to protect
