Over The Tee Cup By MARIE McQUARRIE irt ih anlf ronrse does look a little rough dusty when dry in spots and muddy when wet, but it proved very playable and enjoyable Sunday when our guests were irom me jviciwy Goli Club, iney nave a nice ao hole course in McNary now, with the back nine completed this year. But they evidently like our smaller, trickier course, as there were 14 men and 9 women here by 8:30 a.m. for coffee and rolls and an early tee-off. Many times it was said by them that Wil low Creek Country Club was in good shape for "de trouble we' ve seen." Since our water supply in the club house is precarious, Winn Crist came to our rescue and cnrt-aH rtalir-imic snaphptti and cole slaw for our dinner. Garlic biead and dessert were furnish ed by the club. Thanks, Winn, for pulling us out of this diffi culty. This was greatly appreci ated, especially by the women.
