Cooney Rules Over Divot Dolls To no one's surpirse, the blonde bomber, Carol Cooney, emerged the Club champion again in the three- week tournament which concluded Tuesday the twenty-sixth. Going into the final round with a 9-shot \e*d, Carol shot a nice, steady 88 for a gross total of 271. Second low gross in flight A was shot by Virginia Turner who totaled 291 for the 54-hole event. Capturing Low Net in the same flight was Nancy Wilkins who netted 312J. In Class BBvie Castle held her lead and totaled 331 to capture Low Gross cham­ pionship in that flight. For Low Net championship in the same flight a tie of 243 each was shot by Carolyn Harger and Anna Johnson. An 18- hole playoff will take place by the 30th of the month to determine the winner for this coveted place. In Class C, a gross 364 gave Trish Sayler a 4-shot lead to determine her the winner for Low Gross. Dorothy Woods, netting 242, took Low Net championship in the same flight. And, in Class D the name Sayler popped up again as Rita Sayler (mamma-in- law) grossed 394 to win Low Gross championship. A close race found Marcy Wakitsch one stroke off the mark which netted her 242 for Low Net championship. In the same flight Betty Wayman netted 252 for second Low Net. Running concurrently with the final round of Club and Class championship was the Grandmother's tournament. Shooting a net 74 Betty Mohan took that in Class A. In Class B it was Carolyn Harger, in Class C - Fran D - the Weyland and in Class Marcy Wakitsch. With the exception of play-off in Class B the major tournaments of the season have been concluded and from here through the month of September the emphasis will be on the lighter side of golf. Next week will be an exchange day and the McHenry gals will host some of the lovely ladies of Woodstock. Under the weekly statistics Carol Cooney grossed 88, Betty Mohan low netted 74 and Carol C. low putted with 27-all in Class A. In Class B, Anna Johnson took both low gross of 107 and low net of 76 while Betty Smith took low putts of 27. From the looks of things, the greens must have been in just the right condition. In Class C, low gross of the day was shot by Dorothy Woods with 114. Dorothy also low netted with 72. It was Dorothy's day as she tied with Trish Sayler for low putts of 31. Class D's low gross was 127, shot by Kitty Evans, while low net was 75, shot by Betty Wayman. Betty tied with Marcy Wakitsch for low putts of 34. Those nice little extras that help the day found several chip-ins and birdies being recorded. Espar Oja chipped in on No. 5, Ethel Koehler on No. 10 and No. 16 and Liz Nolan on No. 16. Liz also birdied No. 16 and No. 18 while Nell Fidler birdied No. 11, Alvina Yopp birdied No. 15 and Carol Cooney and Virginia Turner birdied No. 14. The not-so-nice oc­ currences found Kitty Evans undisputed. Sandy of the week - she delcared she was strictly a beach beauty for the day since she found so many of die traps. A toss-up for the Poplar Leaf Cluster- Tree Top award is between Freida Miller and Shirely Smith. Freida claims to have hit every tree on No. 7 while Shirley was doing the same on the second fairway. Shirley's skills seem more precise. She was able to catch the big oak in the middle of the fairway, run her ball straight up the trunk, clear to the top and back down. Some equitable arrangement will be made to declare the winner. Elsewhere on the course Floss Miller was having her problems with an un­ cooperative skirt zipper. She solved the dilemma tem­ porarily by borrowing Gloria O.'s birdie pin. Those pins aren't awarded for nothing. Gutsy golf was displayed by Georgette Lewis when her drive on 8 landed in the creek. Undismayed, and reluctant to take a penalty shot, she played from the water. The sun's drying power took care of whatever temporary moisture bathed her garments. Under the Nifty Niners Carefree Golf, Flight A found Carole Barnicle in first place with Shirley Smith in second. Carole also had low putts. In Flight B, it was Mary Kenton in first and Millie Wignall in second. Mary also had low putts. Though not senational, most of the golf was respectable and the gals are looking forward to another week and Happy Golfing! Liz PAGE 7 • PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY.

The best description of his golfing genius came from Chi Chi Rodriquez, who ex­ plained: "He's become a legend in his spare time." Almost forty now, Nicklaus needs only one more major win to become the top major tournament winner of all time. Ironically, only in recent years has the Golden Bear become the idol of Ihe fans. In his early years he was overshadowed by the wide popularity of Arnold Palmer. No more; the golfing world now knows he's the greatest in history, the champion of champions. Watching him play is watching history in the making. * By Pele Frttchie WASHINGTON, D. C. « His win at Rochester--the 1980 P.G.A.-is final confir­ mation Jack Nicklaus is the greatest golfer in the history of the game. And that's good for sports in general, because Nicklaus is about as close to the all-American athletic hero as one gets. Rare among the pros, he never leaves his family for more than two weeks at a time. He's nevertheless won 19 major tournaments (five PGA's) and has now tied Walter Hagen's record. He's done this while not playing as often as other pros-enter- •o SLAPPIN' FIVE-are teammates Twig Miller and Jim Yaworskl after Miller hit a second- inning homer in the first game off the final series ffor the Men's 16" title between Foxhole Tap and 3-D Bowl. Miller hit a line shot past 3-D right fielder Leo Sullivan and rounded the bases easily for the round-tripper. Both Miller and Yaworsld finished in the top 20 hitters in the league. Awaiting to congratulate Miller is Rich Meyers, who also finished in the top 20 hitters.

His daughter Patty and her husband Dick Loser were also welcome callers whom we could be pleased to open our door for at any time. I'll be sporting a very fine cane, ebony and ivory, which "Shorty" brought from Africa. It's a beauty. Have some very interesting items to peruse. It was a happy surpirse to have Evelyn Karls Murphy and her daughter Mary Lynn walk up to our door. Evelyn resides a block from her aunt and uncle, the Floyd Colemans, in Florida and they share the Plaindealer. Evelyn's parents ran the famous Karls Cafe on Riverside Drive, a spot remembered by hundreds of McHenry High graduates. It was a fun place where young folk scould afford a ham­ burger and -- When there was an out of town basket­ ball game, they stayed open late to accommodate the crowd.

He will soon be heading back to his Florida home. He just came up north to relax and reduce. Had a recent short visit with Howard and Harold Phalins. How those men can keep those curly heads of hair is a mystery to a baldy. Somebody asked, "How old is Howard?" I dunno. Figure it out. He graduated from old McHenry High with the class of 1921. His classmates were: Adele Heimer, Marguerite Overton, Rosina Freund, Teresa Conway (Cairns), Lelah Bacon and Andrew Hawley. Small class. Quality. If I were presenting a most courteour drier award, it would go this week to the driver of a car bearing Illinois license number DJ 5103. Have no idea who the driver is. Richard, whom many regarded as baseball's best pitcher, should make all detractors stop and take inventory of their own shortcomings. Sports writers, broad­ casters and many others thought J.R. was faking injury until a stroke put him in a hospital. They didn't just think it, they shot off their mouths. Reminds me of the fellow who had the epitaph carved on his gravestone, "I told you I was side", "Apologies are in order to paralized J.R.
