Another grand day
greeted the retirees at the
upper course on Tuesday.
Chris Christianson was in
charge of another first for
the season; a flip for
partners after the foursomes were formed. They
didn't give any prizes for
these partnerships but it
made it more interesting.
For instance, I was with
Noland Garrison against
Sammy Martin and Al
Turner, w,hat do y'Jmow,
when it was all totalled up,
we won by a stroke, some
luck had something to do
with it too, I guess.
When it came down to the
nitty-gritty, the prize
winners were, low gross
Joe Bielli with a 44, low net,
it was Emil Kwasney with
a 34. On the bidden holes
for low it was number six
with Bob Whalley and
Peter Huse tied with fives
and for the bidden hole high
it was number eight and
the winners with eights
were Bart Dudley and Bob
Evans.
There were 50 participants out this week and
the last three weeks have
put our average attendance
at right around 40 since we
started proceedings at the
upper course. It would
appear to be getting better
all the time. Now if we '
could just get that rope tow
in operation it would improve things even more.
By the way, a pair of
glasses was found and
turned in to the clubroom
on Monday or early
Tuesday. If anyone has had
that misfortune pick them
up from Munro or Debbie.
Also in the same area, I
picked up a nine iron, trade
name, "Pinseeker," with a
red and black grip. I picked
it up on Monday and
anyone who lost it can
contact me at 382-5205.

This retiree golf is really
something, one gets to play
with some fantastic people.
I have yet to play with
someone whose company I
didn't enjoy. Some will
give you tips, but I never
yet saw one who gets overexasperated with playing
with a duffer.

Some I'll never forget,

Rick W~tkinson was a get pretty garroulous, or
guy I 1 ~ a lot from. He whatever, at time.
John McFarland and
must have bden one patient
guy 'cause I was still Herbie Castle fall into one
learning then, just shows category, they too played a
how hard it can be to teach lot with Lil' Jack. Herbie
some people. I still am in liked to keep score and it
was general knowledge
the learning stage.
Doug Johnson and I hit it among our foursome that
off because we both enjoy · Herb played a lot of good
the exercise and ' the golf with bis pencil. I'll
company it affords and we always remember John
both are particularly fond saying to me after I got the
hole-in-one on number five,
of the 19th bole.
A guy I've gone out with a "It would have been a
lot of times lately is Bart helluva job for Herbie to
Dudley. Bart is a very quiet top that one!"
Noland Garrison fills a
fellow and as they say,
opposites attract, it must special spot in my golfing.
apply here because I can The 80-plus gent, that's bis

age, not bis golf score, is
one guy I've always admired. I like bis style and
just hope I can swing a club
like him when I get into my
IIO's.
Rossland's Slow-Pitch
League will hold its league
finals Friday evening and
Saturday all day at the
Centennial park in Black
Bear. Howie Kam suggests
you come out in hordes to
watch. I will be in Deer
Park, Wash., on a Oag
exchange ceremony for
Branch 14 so will not be
able to catch this one.
And with that I'll say
"Till next week, then!"

With Jack it was never
being at a loss for some
caustic comment. One I'll
always remember was,
''Hey, Pepper, did you ever
milk a cow, you know,
when you had to squat
down when you go to work,
well the same thing applies
here. Bend your damn
knees/'
