There was nothing espec lally planned, but all were try ing their luck on the links. New members, "first time" golfers, and those that hncln t hit a gou bull since last fall, made a gixHlly mixture of players en joying the course from morning until almost dark. Many were just trying to "iron out" the wrinkles lor the new season and in the process found many muscles that hadn t been used a!l winter. This happens to all golfers that are summer golfers, so it seems. The fairways and greens are in excellent condition for so early In the year. Our thanks to all those who so diligently worked to make the course a green paradise on which to play. A special thanks to Lowell Gribble for taking his time to spray broadleaf killer and for getting all those "beautiful little dandelions." They are just curl ing up their toes In disgust and making room for the grass to grow more plush. "Thanks, Grib." A letter was sent to all mem bers of Willow Creek Country Club by President Ed Schaffitz this last week. Read it care fully. Included was a list of ail the activity committees and the persons he chose to fulfill these special duties. Why not put this list in a conspicuous place so you may refer to it often and see just who Is who and what "who does" and what your spec lal work is. This is a very effic ient working group, so let's all get behind the president and do our duties willingly and happily to make this a smoothly run fun year. Regularly planned play for Sundays will soon be the order and these are always fun in which to participate. Also included in rres. scnai- fitz' letter was a list of the Ladies' Days and Playd ays. Keep this list handy, lady golf ers, then you will know when it is your turn to preside over the Tuesday's play, plan what is going to be done for that day and also have the club house clean for your designated date. If we all take our turn, our activities should run ime clockwork all summer. Here's to a "Wonderful World of Golf" at our Willow CreeK Country Club for the summer of 1969.
