A golf ball drop fundraiser Saturday at Banks Lake Golf Course netted the course $1,050, and provided prize money for three whose numbered balls fell closest to the pin. The 300 golf balls were dropped from a truck with a bucket from about 15 feet. The three closest balls were determined after Birdie Hensley measured the distances of the winning balls. First-place money of $225 went to Sally McDowell, of Elmer City; second place of $150 to Dyana Crummet, of Soap Lake; and third place to Hensley, of Electric City, who won $75.
