• • • • • • ,.o.o~ .................................................. Journa photo by Em ly danson Shelton's Brian Nault works on passing the ball during rugby practice on June 27. Rugby Continued from page C-1 and high school rugby players and programs in the state tries to invite more elite teams to tourna- ments. "Nick and I have talked about doing a tourna- ment next summer with some amateur teams." Duchene said. "It would bring a lot of business (to the community) so I feel it would be good for the town as a whole." The seasons for the U19 boys' and girls' teams and the U16 boys' team are scheduled to start this weekend. On Saturday, the teams will compete in the RugbyWA Summer 7s Qualifying Event No. 1 tournament held at Prairie Elementary School in Yelm. "The teams will have a tournament every week- end in July and the first weekend in August." Duch- ene said. "They're playing for points at the tourna- merits and whoever has the most points at the end of the season wins." He said he expects the girls' team to have a strong season, adding that they have a good skills set. He said he thinks the boys' U16 will play fine this summer. "They have a lot of newbies but they played in the 15s season," Duchene said.

The second is the Military Appreciation Day Tournament scheduled for July 28. "I also run a glow ball tournament twice a year, one was on May 12 and the next is scheduled for Oct. 6." Brown said During glow ball ~ourna- ments, the special glowing golf balls are used and play- ers carry flashlights with them around the course. Some private carts also have lights on them. The course has a 69.4 rating with a slope of 115 for men and a 71.5 rating and a slope of 119 for women. "Courses used to be rated by distance and par." Brown said. "Now. they have teams from the Washington State Golfing Association play courses and rate them based on landing area, land- ing size. hazards, the size and slope of greens and dis- tance." Though golf is often con- sidered to be an expensive sport. Brown said the eco- nomic downturn has not affected the membership of the club. which has been about the same for the last five years. "The thing that's hurt us the most is the weather," he said. "The last three years, it's been a wet, chilly spring and continued into the sum- mer. People don't like to play in that." Brown said his favorite hole on the course is No. 2. "It's a beautiful looking hole from the tee and takes three good shots from the tee to. make a birdie," he said. "On hol~ No. 8, you can see the lake from the tee boxes." Brown said a lot of the fairways from the tees are beautiful and attributed this to the work of the new grounds superintendent Ja- son gowerton. "The mowing patterns he's been using are attrac- tive," Brown said. To bring in more busi- ness, Lake Limerick Golf Course is offering a summer special. "For $25, golfers get 18-holes, a cart and lunch," PGA head professional Bob- by Brown said. "This has drawn players from Olym- pia, Tumwater and Gig Har- bor." Brown said this special, along with the condition of the 50-acre, nine-hole course and the challenge of the course are what bring golfers to Lake Limerick.
