September 11 was visitation day f91" the Trail~ Rossland retirees to wander over to visit Christina
• Lake and play on their enlarged course. There
~ were also golfers from Nelson and Castlegar and
, with the boat club there was 127 of ua on the tee for
:_. a 9 a.m. start. In most cases they tried to mix the
I foursomes so that there were players from each: club on each foursome.
,
After nine holes we came in for lunch and some
refreslunent and the prizes were banded out. Three
sets went to the first, second and third place teams
in low gross and were as follows: Frank Stewart,
Christina Lake, Walt Gerrand, Trail, Harry
Haines, Castlegar and Archie McCannell, Trail.
Second place went to Tom Hayes, Christina Lake,
John Dalzieh, Castlegar, Bert Lamb, Castlegar,
and Jack Buchanan, Trail-Rossland. Third place
was won by Les Christiansen, Christina Lake,
Harry Pepper, Trail-Rossland, John Ekroos,
Castlegar and Walter Laurie of Nelson.
Individual winners in low gross were Don
Krug, Trail-Ros91and, Chess Edwards, Christina
Lake, H. McFarland, Christina Lake, Joe BieW,
Trail-Rossland, Frank Holdsworth, Castlegar, and
Al Faunt, Trail-Rossland. In low net the winners
were Cec Olmsted, Trail-Rossland, Jack Gellatly,
Trail-Rossland, George Jeffrey, Christina Lake,
Joe Dunn, Castlegar, Harold Bate, Castlegar, and
Ab Culley also of the Castlegar club.
That wasn't the end though as they kept calling
names as
as there were prizes left, seemed
like everyone got some kind of a prize. Bert
Markland, formerly of Ross1and and Al Ba1dry
were in charge and ran a fine show. I've always
liked the course at Christina Lake and now the
: extra nine holes makes it more attractive, the back
11
• nine is great
Bart Dudley, Carl <>sing and I bad Mau
Mattson with ua for the second nine and then left
for home, stopping at the Time and Place on the
way we ran into a guy who was probably one of
Rossland's top athletes of bis day. Skiing, curling,
golfing and what have you, Chess Edwards excelled at them all. Today at age 77, be is still in
, pretty good shape.
This week our retirees golf at the upper course
was washed out by heavy rains so we shall have to
get back at it next week, weather permitting. I bad
a glimpse of Mt Roberts around 10 a.m. and there
was a llUle showing of the white stuff on the upper
slopes, so we are getting to that time of the year.
We bad a nice summer, just let's hope it's not
over yet. With the leaves the way they are this year
we can see a lot more golf before curling starts.
On Sunday we bad our bocce club windup in the
Legion basement room and played a four-game
format with games every hour with a 10 a.m. start.
Our group, #10 on the list, played again at 12, two
and four while the other group bad games at 11,
one, three, and five. Between games we watched
football on television and bad a gab session and
some cribbage games.
When it was all over we sat down to a really
grand meal prepared by the ladies of the auiliary.
It was delightful. Afterwards the minutes of doings
during the season were read and as Joe and
Dorothy Gyte and Thelma Cowland wanted to take
a rest from executive work, a new slate was
elected. Hazel Pengelly is- our new president, and
Bob Glover is vice-president with Mary Brown
coming in as secretary-treasurer.
Now with the date at the 16th of September, I
guess the ice will be going in at the rink anytime
now, looking forward to another big curling season
