PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 1.1W2 PEARL WALSH So I Hear Mental Health Funding WONDER LAKE A sudden awakening! A holiday is approaching and an early deadline is here. It's a worider somebody like you know who didn't remind me. Bet she got her own column written. Dan Jus ten tells me not to worry about putting my straw hat away after Labor Day. Paul Rieger told him he is going to wear his until Christmas or thereabouts. (raid my unprotected scalp would gefrtrighty cold if I went into the winter with a straw bonnet. While I was following the now famous Jackson-Boss foursome in the McHenry Country Club championship match, there was some good golf going on with the likes o' Tim Martin and his 301 for third place. Going around the course last Sunday brought back memories, some of which I related at the retirement party for Greenskeeper A1 Purvey. My earliest recollection is of one of the promoters in establishing the 9- hole course. He gave us young 'uns a ride out to show us the course, but didn't tell us his plan was to have us pick up stones from the hill. The late Andrew Eddy, who was a farmer by trade, was in charge before McHenry lured A1 Purvey away from the Woodstock club. A1 changed things in a hurry. It was summer vacation and I got a job working on the course at the fancy salary of $70 a month. The club bought a tractor called Cleetrack (think that was the spelling) from Joe Hettermann. >• It was a caterpillar type that steered with a bar instead of a wheel. Tricky. It would spin around at the slightest touch of the bar. Mowing the old No. 6 fairway near the Buss home, down to the creek, was a challenge. Roots clogged the mower every few feet. One of the directors thought it was taking too long to mow that fairway so decided^ to ride the mower. The catch was he chose to ride the No. 2 fairway which didn't have a root. r. v « ~~~ The director was wearing a white silk shirt when he took his seat on the mower. . ) It was^clusty /as we went sailing along. He hollered, but I pretended not to hear. - That shirt was a mess. So sorry! I had no experience In the game of golf, but found myself in the first group to tee off when the course was officially opened. With a mighty baseball swing and beginner's luck, that little ball sailed straight and true down the fairway. Picking up my bag which had four clubs, I said to myself "There's nothing to this game." Thirteen strokes later, after going over and back at the green, I changed my mind. Mayor Murphy of beautiful downtown Volo came to town with a few choice comments on the report that Moses Malone signed a 13 million dollar contract to {day basketball. When I told Larry Nimsgern and "Red" Tourville how I regret ever giving up my athletic career, they sort of chuckled. Thai, when I told them I was known as "Flash Walsh", their chuckles turned to laughter. I told those doubting Thomases that I was going to look for somebody to verify my story. They didn't think it possible. < Maybe Sib Whiting would be the one to back up my story. "Zeke" isn't here. Anyhow, I'm afraid he would elaborate on my claim too much. . I'll be rolling along and wishing you a restiul Labor Day.
