GOLF ANYONE?

     Some time back, the Kornerman reported the passing of Jack Teagarden, BHS-67, of Grand Junction. Jack was a great baseball catcher on a state championship Toreador team.
     Now, we have received word that a son of Jack's, Kevin Teagarden, has purchased the Lakeside Golf Course, which is located just north of Highway 30, between Grand Junction and Jefferson, near Spring Lake.
     Jack's widow, Fran Teagarden, commented, "it is the course Kevin grew up playing and Jack played there every minute he could for many years. It was always a dream of Kevin's to own that course and now its happened."
     On Sunday, August 4, Kevin, on his course, will be hosting the first annual Jack Teagarden Memorial Golf Tournament.
     Lots of former Toreadors and other friends of the Teagarden family are urged to attend.
     Kevin has a facebook page, Lakeside National Golf Club, that has additional information about the course and the upcoming tournament with more details to come.

     For quite a period of time, there have been rumors of a "possible" coffee shop of some kind to be located in that little strip mall on Marshall Street where Intensitee is also located.
     Just noticed there's a new sign above one of those buildings (maybe where Godfathers was located at one time) that reads, "Jo Jo's Coffee Depot."
