This week's retiree action
at the upper course was
threatened by heavy cloud
and rain in the early going
but eventually the sky
cleared and we had blue
skies until the completion of
our round. However the
rains came again after we
finished and dampened the
last holes of our visitors
from across the line.

When we teed off the count
of golfers on the course was
just under 30. Eight golfers
from the Colville club came
along and boosted our
numbers. They were caught
in a couple of heavy showers
before they made it into the
club house. Yet the weather
didn't scare them; they had
lunch and took off for
another nine.

Ball winners in the low net
and hidden hole competition
were veteran Trail golfer
Tommy Harrison with a
sparkling 33, Ron Gardner
and Phil Bateman at 34, Bill
Chartres with a 35 and on a
draw among six players, Al
Turner. One of our visitors
from Colville, Neil Garison,
was at 36. The hidden hole
failed to show the required

number of strokes to win a
ball.
Talking to one of our
visitors I learned that the
Colville course is looking
real sharp and they also
have a new pro in charge at
the popular Elles course just
outside Colville.

The two Rossland teams
which went up to Kamloops
for the Sl~Pitch tourney last
weekend didn't win any of
the silverware but from all
reports a good time was
enjoyed by all who travelled
up there.
The Legion Royals won
two games in "A" and were
beaten in the semi-finals for
a 2-1 record while the SuperScrap team lost one in "A",
won one in "B" and then
were knocked from competition with their ·second
