T feu lverIi2 Parade winners Tee Cup By MARIE McQL'ARRIE Golf, no doubt, took a back scat to Hcppncr's full fair and rodeo week, but we did have some visitors from out of town who 'Used our course while here. The men had their regular schedule play, Aug. 22. Low gross was won by La Verne Van Marter Sr.; low net, Bob Jepsen; closest to the pin, Dave Campbell; and long drive, Doug Gunderson. Sunday, Aug. 2fi, a former Heppnerite, Howard Gilliam, son of Earl Gilliam, nearly swept the field. He had low gross, closest to the pin and long drive. Ed Hiemstra copped low net and Dennis Martin, least putts. Howard Gilliam must play a lot of golf on those long courses in Spokane, which put him in good shape for Willow Creek. Glad you went down and joined the fellows, Howard. Our next to the last sched uled barbecue for the summer will be held Sunday. The Bob Kellys and Clinton McQuar ries will be the ones to run the play for the day.
