Over The
Tee Cup
By DEE CRIBBLE
Let's see so many things
have been happening, 'twould
be bad to leave any out.
First, with re-newed vigor, our
men got busy and replaced the
main bridge over Willow creek.
'Twas a sorry sight, (makes me
shudder to think I'd driven over
the old one when the under
pinning was so "honey-combed.")
But now it's just beautiful,
and with strong new lumber.
"Judge" Carmichael manned his
power saw and cut up numerous
old dead chunks dragged out
of the creek and made them fire
place length. Thanks, Judge!
And Frances Doherty seems not
to tire of firing the brush piles.
Many men (and girls, too)
were hard at work cleaning the
creek of all the small pieces of
wood swept down by the flash
flood. Absolutely had to be done
before another high water.
These last few nice days have
brought out many golfers. Mor
ris Brown and Al Nysted chall
enged John Snyder and my Grib
to a fun match last Thursday
afternoon. After 14 holes, they
were all even,
Say, gal golfers, John will be
here all set to teach on this
Saturday, March 24, at 9:30 a. m.
if you plan on lessons, get your
self down and make your ap
pointment. He plans on giving
them every Saturday for six
weeks.
Sunday many played and,
though we didn't plan anything
special, 'twas fun. I saw Hester
and Oliver Creswick, Harlan and
Arolene Schroeder from Kinzua,
Ed and Bev Gunderson, Vi and
Conley Lanham, Cork and Jim
Norene, Marie and Clint Mc
Juarrie, Jan and Clint Agee, Don
McCloud, Velma Glass, Bob
Johnson, Jim Sutherland, Judge
Carmichael, Morrie Groves, Har
lan McCurdy, Van Marter, Sr.,
Grib and myself.
We still aren't playing num
ber one and two fairways too
soft under foot and new grass
isn't up yet.
Ladies Day should be estab
lished soon so, gals, if you have
any suggestions, call Marie or
me. In the past we've had a good
crew down on Tuesdays from
lone and Lexington and the
lower country. We really wish
you'd come back and play this
year again.
Weather permitting, let's all
get our clubs and play this next
Sunday around 2:00 for a mixer
and get-acquainted two-ba,ll
foresome.
Bye for now.
