"Pleasant Grove, the Most Beautifully Situated City in Utah County" VOL. LIXX, No. 1 3 PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH 84062, THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1973 SINGLE COPY 10c Mayor Thanks P.G. People for Encouragement March 20, 1973 I bring you greetings from Loma Linda, the friendliest, most compassionate city I have ever been in. The care and attention that Beth and I have received is positively un-matched in our lives. It is quite a change for me to be flat on my back in bed, able only to wiggle my nose and my toes. But, I hope to have all my facilities return-ed. Each day to see a new fing-er moved at my command is a great accomplishment. Since lying here I have dis-covered what hell is. My inter-pretation is that it is like hav-ing an itch on your nose or an itch anywhere and having no way in the world to scratch it. We have had so many friends drop in from all parts of Southern California, as well as family and friends from Utah. You have no idea what a thrill it is to open your eyes and see a friendly face from home. , We would like to extend an invitation to all of you who are traveling to and from the Los Angeles area to make the hospital a stop-of- f spot, if only for a minute. We have received so many wonderful cards, letters, and telephone calls giving us en-couragement. These are so ap-preciated, even though they cannot be answered individ-- , ually. So, we are taking this opportunity to answer them collectively. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers in our behalf. Sincerely, Jack. E. Cook A note from the hospital says that Jack and Beth were not able to sign this letter because of their injuries. READY TO GO Doug Vilven, assistant pro, prepares to drive off No. 11, as Michael Vicchrilli, Mayor Malcolm H. Beck, Parley Varney, and golf pro Jimmy Thompson, from left watch. The new course is virtually complete and play will start soon after the first of May providing the weather , lets up and the course can be polished up ready to go. in-Ci- ty GoEf Course 'GioBEagigirig' to All shot," he added. The course has been designed to appeal to all golfers, from the duffer to the pro with spec-ci- al features designed especial-ly for the abilities of the ladies. Each of the 18 holes is laid out to emphasize the favorable location and terrain with ex-isting trees retai isd where pos-sible to give the course a "fin-ished" lock. Son.; trees will bo replaced later with evergreens. Tees one, ten and six are available as alternate starting tees, design that will be espe-iall- y advantageous during tour-nament play. Golfers may choose to play five, nine or the full 18 holes due to the course layout. The course is a stand-ard rotation, par 72, with dog-legs implemented where they add to the plan. Water hazards are designed to accomodate the professional as, well as the amateur golfer. Mr. Thompson said that he felt the No. 11 hole will be one of the "most talked about par holes in the west," due to the layout and design, and that it "is as difficult for the good player as the average player." Both the amateur and the professional golfer will find the new Tri City Golf Course a challenge according to Jimmy Thompson, golf pro at the new course. The favility will open for play on the first Saturday in May with all eighteen holes and the driving range "ready" for the season play. A temporary pro chop will also be oen at that time. The course was cited as "one of the finest courses I have seen," by Mr. Thompson, who said it is "going to be a little more difficult and a little toug-her to plan than the average municipal coure." "I don't look for too many low scores to be The No. 13 hole will also fool some people," he said. Members of the golf course committee noted that a total of 12 springs are located on the property. Flow from these will be used in filling the lakes on the course and will supply water for the automatic sprink-ling system A total of five lakes are found on the course with the central lake to be used for ir-rigation purposes and the other four utilized for storage reser-voirs. Holding basins on the north lakes have been sealed with clay, and the south lake has a perforated pipe column which will filter out alage. The golf course is planted in a Kentucky Bluegrass hybrid, it was noted, with a mix used on the tees, using both blues and a polycross. Mr. Thompson said it takes "about five years for any golf course to mature" but said he believed this course will be ready for "top" play in a cou-ple of years." The opening of the course in May will make completion of the first phase of the tri cities recerational facility and the proof that three cities can work togther to bring about a major project. Ground was broke for the facility on May 3, 1971 with leaders from American Fork, Pleasant Grove and Lehi parti-cipating in the ceremonies. A non-partisa- n committe of the 3 communities has super-vised the work with Malcolm H. Beck of American Fork ser-ving as chairman. Other com-mittee members are John Rob-erts and John Hansen, Ameri-can Fork; Clifford Hanes and Parley Varney, Pleasant Grove; and Morgan Evans, Earl South-wic- k and Dr. Kent Davis of Lehi. Joe Williams was architect of the course and Bud String-ha-m is suDervisine the constru-- ction. Construction for the pro-ject have been Thomas Peck and Sons, Lehi and Dave and Don Devey, Alpine. The golf course is one phase of the multi-us- e facility which includes bridal paths, facilities for riding club activities, and an arboretum and nature walk for use of botany and science students from schools in the three communities. The golf course driving range is found in the center of the race track. Mr. Thompson said he was delighted with the multi use of the area and feels it is a "great family recreation project." We need more "places where the family can play together from early in life to late in life," he said. Mayor Beck said Doug Vil-ven, a Salt Lake native and Ut-ah State University graduate, has been named assistant pro at the course. He has served with Mr. Thompson at the Loa Coyotes Club in California. Meeting Held by PI.

In the breakdown, Lindon City will get $600 and Pleas-ant Grove $1,266 from the total of $20,000 to be distributed. Elder Marion Hanks Speaks to Two P.G. Conferences Members of the Pleasant Grove Stake and visitors to the conference heard Elder Marion D. Hanks, Assistant to the Twelve, tell of the need for church membrs to practice brotherhood in their relation-ship with neighbors and assoc-iates. He decried the practice of professed followers of Christ who maintain an attitude of superiority toward those of other religions. There is noth-ing in our religion that would make us antagonistic toward another person, whatever his beliefs, Elder Hanks everred. It is important to understand that our relationship with all men should be that of love. We are not perfect enough to stand in any sequestered spot of superiority. Elder Hanks cited two basic evils which God told Jeremiah have caused people to fall. They have forsaken God the living fountain of water and have hewed themselves out broken cisterns that will hold no water. Gou, speaking thru His prophets, has testified that He lives, and that He will give revelation through His pro-phets for this time as He did of old. We should share this message with gratitude for it has been given for all men who will accept. Elder Hanks gave several examples to illustrate true brotherhood in action. In his remarks, President Leon Walker stated that we must have unity to be known as the Church of Christ. He gave special recognition to Stake Elders Quorum Presiden-cies, Presidents of the 44th Quorum of Seventy, group leaders of the High Priests Quorum and the twenty-fou- r servicemen and forty - eight missionaries serving from the stake. There is no greater re-sponsibility than to teach children to walk uprightly, he said. Other speakers who carried out the theme, Strengthen the Home, were Sara Haynie, Michael Palmer, Don Holda-wa- y, Diane Giles, Steve Rob-bin- s, and Alan Marchbanks. Music for the sessions was furnished by the Lindon Ward Choir, directed by Marion Wolgren accompanied by Laur-el Chidester and by the Eighth Ward Choir, directed by Ches-ter Stone and accompanied by Donna Randall.
