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.
Awards for the day were: Low
gross Larry York, 76, and Low
ell Gribble, 67; low net Jim
Harper, 57, Ray Massey, 54. Vane
Hiatt and Joe Balfe won the
long drive. Closest to the pin
honors were received by Dwayne
Huddleston and C. C. Carmich
ael. Wnmon onlfAr uhn won nriz-
es were: low gross -Gayle York,
43. and Vi Lannam, ii; low nei
Lois Hicks, 32, and Mary Lou
Kelly, 31. Closest to the pin and
long drive were won by the
same gals from each club. Cora
Jean Cartwright and Vi Lanham
received a golf ball for each
event, for their accuracy and
hard pull with that left arm.
A "sole survivor" round was
played after dinner by the men
from both clubs. Eddie Gunder
son won first and Mr. York, Sr.,
second.
Thoughts during last week of
rescinding our invitation to Mc
Nary were prevalent because of
the shape of the course and the
water situation, but Lowell Grib
ble perservered with his plans.
Glad you did, Grib, as it was
a very successful day. Just
what can he done when
someone goes ahead with plans
and others neip to pui it over,
r.act Tnesdav there were sev-
pn wnmen out for Ladies' Dav.
Laura Richards and Vi Lanham
were again planners and clean-er-uppers
for the day. There was
a n prrnr in last week's column
as Laura Richards was co-hostess
with Vi, instead of Ann Mar
tin. Please excuse, Laura. A ball
was given to Helen Schaffitz for
being the most consistent putter.
A barbecue held Saturday
evening was fun and filling. The
temperature was cooi Dy ine
eating hour and everyone had
a good time visiting.
A COMING DATE TO RE
MlTMRFIR Hennner polfers. both
men and women will travel to
McNary on Sunday, July il. It
will be interesting to play on
their improved front nine and
their new back nine. Arrival
time is 8:30. "Fore".
