Lowell Cribble organized a two-ball foursome with a "shot gun" start. We were told to keep track of score and number of putts used on each hole. Three partners. Helen Schaffitz and Lowell Gribble; Beverly Guilder son and Ed Hiemstra, and Ha- zel Mahoney and Ed Schaffitz tied for low gross, all with a 38. A contest of the gals was held on the putting green to decide the winners. Beverly had the least putts, making her and Ed winners for the evening. Marie Mcyuarrie and Hoot Leslie of Hardman received the consola tion balls. Some who couldn't make it for golfing, came later for the scrumptious meal and friendly btmosnhere. We are glad to wel come back from a vacationing summer, Marylee and Ed Hiem stra. Ed is our new vice-president, having been elected to the office in his absence. He didn't seem to mind, as he just smiled and accepted the position. He is filling the place of Dick Car penter, now of Brownsville. Many youngsters of the golfers attended the barbecue, making this a family affair in the new American way of life. We are happy to see the "kids" there playing and enjoying the dinner with their families. Doug Gun derson, in a cast and sitting in his wheelchair, has been a faith ful onlooker at most of our bar becues, since his operation in Portland in June. It is nice to have you there, Doug, watching the activities, even though you would rather be golfing. Won't be long until you are back swinging that club so well. Last Tuesday was a "great day in the morning" for golf. Least putts on No. 4 green was chosen for the awarding of the golf ball. Four gals had to chip off for the coveted prize. This was done very legally, one per son chipping at a time and the others with their backs turned so they couldn't see how close to the pin the "chipper" placed his ball. No. 4 green is a dilly for making a ball "sit", so it was quite a challenge. Beverly Gunderson came closest and earned the title of the winner for the day. The golf course was well oc cupied Sunday, with the men playing in the morning and a two-ball foursome in the after noon. Ladies' Day will start at 9:00 beginning Tuesday. August 22, Maybe more gals will like this time set one-half hour later. Don t forget. Let's all support the Morrow County Fair and Rodeo this week. Golfing can come in when you are tired of sitting and have a couple or hours to kill. You can then stretch your legs and get in your walking and swinging. Ride 'Em Cowboys! GAZETTE-TIMES Thursday.
