HEPPNER (ORE.) GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, April 18, 1974 Page 3 ' ft X r " I f k Ml V : fjf ' r J1 These two children are fascinated by the first visit of the Laster Bunny to Heppner. Mr. B. was on hand to greet youngsters at the annual egg hunt at Heppner City Park. It's time to "swing" into spring at the Willow Creek Country Club, and everything is shipshape, thanks to the efinrt and elbow grease of some members. Eight hardy men braved ram and wind Saturday to give the course a face lift. There is no longer a tree to shoot for on the No. 1 hole, and there is a backstop on No. 3. Two new ballwashers will be a welcome addition to many golfers; of course, some of us know that the creek does an excellent cleaning job! Thanks, men, for a clean course, and we're thankful that the injuries sustained were minor. April 9 was cleaning day at the clubhouse, with seven ambitious ladies on the scene to sweep cobwebs and turn rugs. Most of us slipped away at noon, but Marie McQuarrie and Hazel Mahoney stayed on until late afternoon scrubbing and polishing the kitchen. Their job was made a little easier by the new hot water healer hooked up that day. The finishing touch is a ww coat of paint on the clubhouse, which is being completed as Over The Tee Cup you read this. Truly, golf is a clean sport! Sunday, April 21, is the kick-off breakfast. Good food at $1.75 a plate will be served from 7 to 9 a.m., and free golf for everyone will be offered all day. This is a good opportunity to give golfing a try, if you haven't before; and the men of the club flip a great pancake. Tuesday morning play for the ladies is underway. Tee-off time is 9:30, followed by a sack lunch the first Tuesday of each month. We play for fun, so we hope all lady golfers will join us, no matter what their score. Please keep your eyes on our high school golf team. These kids coached by Tom Shear are playing some fine golf. You'll definitely be reading more about them. Finally, a Golden Tee to Marie McQuarrie, our Tee Cupper of past years, who is taking a break from her journalistic duties this year. Thanks, Marie, for many informative and enjoyable columns.
