Over The Tee Cup By DEE CRIBBLE On Tuesday 14 "fun in the sun" lovin' gals played an in teresting nine holes of golf. We had as guest players Cora Mae Ferguson and her daughter, Mary Lou Kelley, who are here on vacation from sunny Califor nia. We had water holes where there shouldn't me, a good many trouble spots and several were determined to play in the "rough." In spite of all the troubles, Mary Lou won a golf ball for most putts, and that took some doing, as all had 15 putts or more. Helen Schaffitz and I tied for low, and that durn ol' coin had two heads 'cause I lost again. Lessons are beginning to pay off, as all our regular players are now playing in the low 40's. Poor Kay Robinson. Hear she got a "birdie," feathers and all. Also Creston was trying to play snake charmer, but he lost his charm in short order. Always thought I'd not care if I hit one far enough to lose it, but I do. Coffee and doughnuts were en joyed by Mary Lou, Cora Mae, Marie McQuarrie, Jan Agee, Helen S., Bebe Munkers, Donna McCurdy, Hester Creswick, Kav R., Corkie Norene, Joyce Ward, JNadine O Bnen, LaFyrne Pratt and myself. Sunday there were many golf ers on the course, but feel sure none enjoyed the game more than Hester she had her first 38 and it's a grand feeling. Passing thought on the hum ble game of golf: "Golf is a lot of walking, broken up by dissa pointment and bad arithmetic." Don't forget we travel to Kin zua Sunday, June 24.
