The course if well wooded. Arnie Palmers here and will try and get back onto the victory trail. He doesnt need golf fcr his financial needs. But he needs a win to prove to himself and his army that hes still the champion. against Seattle and Phoenix, this season than they have against anyone else in the league. The Totems and Road- runners are the only two WHL, teams agamst which Salt. Lake holds a .500 winning perin centage. Salt Lake is six games against Seattle and in seven games with the Roadrunners. Bodnar was unhappy with Ins defence in Wednesdays, loss at Portland. Charron (Eagle goalie Rick Charron) had to tend goal and play defense, too. Bodnar said. It was as if w e didnt have any defensemen out there to help him most of the time. fund-raisin- Johnny Miller is paired with Palmer in the firrt two rounds.

Its one of the very special charity projects. Casper, in way of appreciation, offered to play schooling events anywhere in the United Spates. That was a gracious thing they claim that this alone will make a $50,000 contribution. Then they took Bill to the Hospital where he saw what the City of Hope was doing. At the banquet, Bill, during his short speech, said that five exhibitions were not enough. He suggested eight or 10. Thats quite a gift in anyones charity.

Mikes getting a lot of help with his game and lies expected to break through pretty soon. Until then hell have to face the weekly qualand thats a tough way to take it. ifying forces You have to pay your way to the event, and qualify witn many others for the limited spots. If you fail you go home. It costs just as much to fail with daily bread, broth and as it does to win costs. the transportation Young golfers surely must consider these things. It isnt always the fat weekly payoff. Everyone goes up and down over the bumps. Some days are bleak others are bleaker. And some are downright bright.
