6 - Trail Times - Friday, June 4, 1982

Well, it was sure good to
get out on the golf course
again. 'J.'he back trouble
started to catch up with me
on the sixth hole at the upper
course Tuesday morning, so
I sat out numbers seven and
eight and waited for my
partners at number nine, by
then I was rested enough to
go in with them and haven't
felt any ill effects since.
It was a good day for the
retirees on Tuesday, Ron
Gardiner and Gerry
Thompson masterminded
the event and we had 49
golfers present, three of
them from Colville.
It was low gross, low net
and most honest golfer. Two
of our foursome won balls,
Rich Watkinson for a 44
gtoss and Cleve Cowland for
being the most honest, nine
balls were distributed and
went to low gross winners,
Jim Scott 41, Chuck Dabner
43 and Bud Comba 44 and low
net winners Bernie Ferrey
31, Percy Hamilton 31, Russ
Broughton 31, and Jim
8ames31.

Lou Crowe also came in
with a 31 but he was unlucky
in the draw, so its noo ball
for Lou this week.
Next week's competition
will be run by Rich
Watkinson with an assist
from yours truly. There'll be
hidden holes, longest putts
and all kinds of fun.

Glory night, held last Friday
night at the Rossland High
School, was a big success.
The general consensus of
opinion I got was the music
was a little on the noisy side,
but as the party heated up
people seemed to forget that
and enjoyed themselves
anyway.
The gambling games were
crowded from the time they
opened for business until
they were closed at 11:30,
while the bar kept a full staff
busy mo.,t of the night. The
money earned from this
effort will help to forward
the word out at the Lions'
campground along with
other worthy causes the club

to imagine bow a person can
make such an impression,
but it's there all the time. His
caustic comments when one
missed a shot and the explanation why you did, were

knew every shot and made
