Skip Koprivica was in town Saturday to honor Jack Crowley as the clubhouse at the Highland View Golf Course was officially dedicated in honor of the long-time pro.

While Crowley was a golfing hero at the Muni, Koprivica was the same at the Missoula Country Club. In January of 2014, Koprivica retired after 34 years as club pro of the terrific course.

After the ceremony, Skip sat down on the porch of the new clubhouse for this fun conversation.

Listen in as Skip talks about growing up in Butte and playing golf at the Muni. Listen as he talks about working and learning under Highland View pro John Pochervina. Skip and his wife Sue had a plaque made to honor “Porchy.” That plaque now hangs on the wall of the Muni pro shop.

Listen in as Skip talks about his brothers Gary and Keith and working at his father’s gas station on Park Street. Listen in as he talks about getting into the golf business and the many terrific people — some of them famous — that he met along the way.

Listen as Skip shares some fond memories of Jack Crowley.
