Saturday, Sept. 1 there was a lot
on the line as 16 right-hand golfers
waged a battle for 12 months of
bragging rights with a like number
of lefties.
It appeared on paper that Team
Left was stronger but when the
battle of drives and putts was
finished after 18 holes it was Team
Right that came out on top
winning 14 1/2 points to nine and
a half points.
Sadly Team Left had to
surrender the Lefty Righty Ryder
Cup which they had held for three
years.
In the absence of of righty
captain, golf operations manager
Dave Meriam presented the lefty
righty cup to Bill Johnston, a
member of Team Right.
Other members of the
winning team were Ed Daer,
Keith Cameron, Don Edgar,
Kent McPherson, Bill Robin-
son, Doug Neil, Dan Mc-
Burney, Doug Vander-
Woude, Gerry Edwards, Dennis
Knox, Bill Kerr, Carl Good, Jim
Ross, Paul Elgie and Wayne
Gordon.
