DIVOT DOLLS M.C.C. £ By "Liz" Nolan Letty B. made the comment that we have been unduly fortunate in having gloriously beautiful weather on Tuesdays all this summer and right she ivas Tuesday, Aug. 31st, was tio exception as the 18-holers went into their final round for •Club and Class Cnampionship. > With Judy Smithson advancing !into the final round with a 10- * stroke lead on the other gals it -was almost a foregone con- -clusion that she would emerge ;the champ. And that she did. ; Although it was no 84 that she •shot (as in last week's round) ^she put together three rounds 'over the three-week period that > brought her low gross over the yfield to be crowned this year's £Club Champion. Statistics show <that Judy had 98-84-101 for a total of 283. Congratulations, Judy, and much good luck in the future. Lots of girls will be gunning for you next year, no doubt. Low net in Class A' was won by Laverne Harpling who carded net scores over the three weeks of 71-80-78 for a net total of 229. With a par for the women of 77 on the course that's pretty nice and con­ sistent handicap shooting. In Class B our up-and-coming lass with the sometimes Irish brogue, Nancy Wilkins, took the lead the first week and held on to it throughout the tour­ nament to capture that honor. She carded 102-107-106. Nancy has come a long way now that she has given up teaching and is devoting much of her time to becoming an amateur golfer in a professional way. With husband Ron as a former golf coach that's got to be a plus. Class B low net was won by Mabel Smith who shot nets of 73-74-80. That's some more nice handicap shooting. In Class C Fran Weyland earned the championship by having rounds of 125-125-118 for a total of 368. She was followed by Marcella Wakitsch who had SOLVE ROOF PROBLEMS L £t P COATINGS Notice Sports Pictures Since previous notices (starting last fall) have not Ik'Cii noted, this will be run from time to time.

DIVISION OF RENT-A-SOFT INC. SERVING NORTH & NORTHWEST SUBURBS EARL WALSH SPORTS EDITOR 1 - you can bet they have a dif­ ferent name for the day. It is the time of year when summer vactions come to an end. It will also be the end of everything for some five or six hundred people involved in accidents over the long holiday weekend. That isn't a happy thought, but statistics are always meant for the other guy. We keep watching the progress of the Kansas City Royals and think Coach Chuck Hiller will have to keep lighting a fire under them. Those Oakland A's are still snortin' fire. Driving different streets in McHenry gives one a chance to see the dangers little children and those on bicycles are faced with as they play. If drivers will slow down and those kids have active guardian angels, everything will be just fine. Thought this column would lay off mention of friends who pass away. It seems we can't. There was Ethel Low, a good friend and one with many friends. So many people miss her. And there was Ed "Junior" Tonyan, a boy we saw grow to manhood. He came to our office to see us once in a while. Our last visit is one we won't forget. We liked Junior and felt sad that he was called away so young. Virginia Looze, wife of our long time friend John, was also taken from our midst this week. What do you do? What do you say when a wife and mother is taken? In football, they say punt. In life we say pray. Now we learn of the death of Lori Wilhelm's mother, a fine woman. We thought of her as a queen among women. We didn't follow the golfers around the course in the Club Handicap Championship. You can read in John Busscher's report that Ted Spengel repeated as the champ. Congratulations, Ted. You probably eat the right kind of steaks. PICKUP -- Education is learning a lot about how little we know. By John Busscher What started out as a close final round ened in a rout as Art Jackson repeated as club champion by an 8 stroke margin. Art shot a final round of 72 for a 72 hole total of 294. In second place with a fine round of 73 and a total of 302 was Jim Packee, followed by Ed Buss with a four round total of 303. Paul Overton with a final round 75 and Tim Martin tied for fourth with 306. Tim had a bad first hole but never gave up and played great golf after the bad start. In the club Handicap Championship, Ted Spengel also repeated as he shot a final round gross of 75 to end up with a net score of 270 for the 72 holes. There were some anxious moments for Ted as Mel Prust made a charge on the final day ending up with a net 63 for a total score of 273. Bill Funk with a net of 66 in the final round and a total score of 275 was third, followed by Ray Rode with 276. Congratulations to our champions, two men of whom we can be rightfully proud, both as champion golfers and fine gentlemen. The Labor Day Tournament will be played at the club on Sunday, Sept. 5 and Monday, Sept. 6. Twenty nine teams are entered in the event, anyone of which can win. Should be a great week-end.

SEPTEMBER 3. 1976 Some weeks there is too much copy for the sports section. Some weeks it seems like a famine to get enough. Sometimes, when pages are made up, they have to hold a story or two for the next issue. Sometimes they hold the wrong story. But, that's show business and you learn to ride with the punche. Unless it is a situation where the pieces won't fall together in making up a page, copy that is in the earliest gets preference. Some copy comes in nicely typed and so well written that it takes very little editing. And typesetters find it easier and faster to set. Some contributors still insist on writing on both sides of lfte sheet of paper. If you are a regular contributor, we will furnish you with copy paper. In spite of several warnings, some still try to slip in "Thank You" notes, admission prices and such items that are ad­ vertising. It's a good try if you can make it. Some write a memo with a story (usually a notice) telling us to run the same thing twice. Guess we have gone ihto that before. LADIES CLUB CHAMPION-Judy Smithson watches the flight of the ball (at top left) as she pitches onto the sixth green in the final round of the McHenry Country Club Ladies Championship tourney Tuesday. Judy two-putted for par on the hole and continued her fine play to capture the title. (STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD) Nobody tells us anything. Just learned that we can put in such items as fees at the start of the school year. Just once. It is considered a help to parents. Local sports news gets preference. Sometimes reports come in that don't have any local names. That's no good for a little old country newspaper. low nets of 80-73-68. The final round had to be exciting for both gals since they each shot better than their average. jNice going, gals! Being out of the running early in the tournament, Liz Nolan finally relaxed on the back nine and put several good holes together, including a one-putt birdie 4 on the dog-leg no. 12. Other birdies shot for the day included one on no. 14 by Jean Remke and one on no. 15 by Judy Smithson. Incidently, Judy earned the nickname of "Sandy" this week. She must have been in ten sandtraps. Chip-ins were registered by three of the gals. Floss O'Connell chipped in on no. 9 for a deuce while Nancy Wilkins chipped in on no. 7 for a no-putter as did Jean Remke on no. 6. Overlooked from last week's statistics were a chip-on no. 17 by Fran Weyland and birdies on no. 14 by Floss O'Connell and Alvina Yopp. While the 18-holers were battling it out for the various championships, the Nifty Niners played a two-woman team alternate shot deal. First place was won by the team of Pat Sullivan and Debbie Johnson, while the term of Kitty Ballsteadt and Merrilee Steinbach came in second. Still Aside from those problems, we don't have a worry in the world. Believe that and we'll tell you another one. The annual "Soap Bowl" football game will be played Friday night at McCracken Field. Tuesday issue told the story. This is just a reminder. Tom Burke says, "Bring back Jimmie Dykes and Luke Appling". Wish we could. Labor Day, so called because nobody works on that day, is creeping up fast. For those who have to work - working as teams, prizes for low putts went to Mil Hansen and Marie Barton, followed by Kitty B. and Merrilee. Using a reverse procedure, awards for most putts went to Martha McCrary and Carmen Fields. And, to prove that life's little frustrations can bring their own reward, Mil Hansen received recognition for going in the water the most times, It was a fun day and the sunshine was on most of the gals' faces as well as in the sky. Happy golfing!
