Retirees Day at the
upper course on Tuesday
was the best we have had
all season from the stan~
point of players and overall weather. It was a real
nice day and there were 57
elderly gentlemen out on
the course, 15 foursomes,
some threesomes and there
were some holdups. But

Castlegar to have a visit
with the retirees out there
and see what we can do

Clubs will also be
represented. It should
make for a very pleasant
day.
Before I drop the subject,
don't forget that special

Debbie are all set to make
it a very memorable day
for all of us.
