Golf is the sport of the 90’s.
The board of directors looks
forward to the challenge of pro-
viding the membership of the
Skeena Valley Golf and Country
Club, the golfing public of Ter-
race and area, and all new-
comers to the sport with a
season of fun and fellowship for
all ages.

Last season the membership
looked to the future by purchas-
ing adjacent farm land for the
purpose of future expansion.
The challenge for the 1991 board
of directors will be the develop-
ing of ways and means of bring-
ing future development to Teali-
ty. The first phase will come to

fruition this year with the open-
ing of a temporary driving
range.

As announced earlier, Bruce
Carruthers is now the manager
of the Skeena Valley Golf and

‘Country Club. Bruce’s expertise

in business management and the
food and beverage industry will
be a valuable asset to the club
and its membership.

The 1991 board of directors
salute Lynn Cooper, Marylin
Davies, Al McAlpine, Dick Graf
and Dale Schuweiler, whose ex-
ecutive terms of office expired
last year. Their dedication and
time has been an inspiration for
the newly elected executive to
carry on for the betterment of
the club and the game of golf.
