This space provided through courtesy of Columbia Dasin Elocfric Co-op By MARIE McQUARRIE By looking at the temperature of the last few days, golfing time is almost here, and, appropriately, the Annual Golf Meeting of Willow Creek was held February 13 in the meeting room of the Columbia Basin Electric Coop. New officers were elected as follows, President, Bob Jepsen; Vice-President, Dennis Martin; Sec. -Treasurer, Carol Kerr. Board members are the above officers, plus Ed Hiemstra, Mnze Mahoney, Norm Rickert and Clinton McQuarrie. New ideas were brought up for discussion. One new idea was to have Ladies' Play on a certain evening, which would enable those ladies who work, to have a chance to get their golfing in along with the other ladies. An evening play for men during the week was also suggested. Seems like too many people are too busy working, but this would make it possible for them to have a relaxing time on the links. A breakfast for men members and a guest was proposed for April. Another suggestion was a "New Deal" and was voted on to carry through. This is the "New Deal" - if you are one that would like to play golf, but never have tried it and would like to experiment to see if you like the game - here is your "New Deal". You may have a temporary membership for 30 days for $5.00. If you want to join Willow Creek Country Club after that time, the $5.00 will apply on your membership dues. Sounds like a "Real Deal" doesn't it? It was voted on and passed that Out of County Guests may play all day for $3.00. You don't find that kind of fees on many golf courses. a schedule for barbecue dates and names of members to host same will be set up and sent to all members, the same as has been arranged in former years. There will be a meeting later this spring for the Ladies Organization to discuss problems pertaining to their organization. It is hoped the evening play will enable more gals to participate. Men's Sunday morning schedule will be made by Dennis Martin and Ed Hiems tra. Men's Summer Tourna ment will be held again this year. The men golfers are to be congratulated on the excellent tourn-out they had every Sun day in the summer of 1972. Their Sunday play was run very efficiently and proved to be a very successful season for them. The gal golfers were pleased to learn how much money was earned by their "Penny a Putt" fund. The men realized how many times they used the little club "The Putter". A very interesting tovie "1971 Masters' Tourni....ent" was shown. The interest in the movie was expressed by the moans and groans from the audience when a putt was missed, and by the sighs, when made. Awards for the summer of 1972 were given. Ray Massey won the Club Championship Award of the Elimination Tournament. For the "All Summer Tournament", C.C. Carmichael was the winner of Low Gross and Low Net. Refreshments were served following the meeting and movie. You will say "Is this neces sary?", but 1973 dues are due. The sooner you get them in - the more you feel you belong. lone Ties For League Championship lone defeated Riverside soundly Friday night, 76-56, to assure themselves a berth in the Regional basketball tourna ment.
