IRS Wednesday Golf League Newsletter
Week 1 – April 29, 2015
Beautiful weather for the start of
the season.
Only can hope every week would be like this one. Everyone did good on
using the right averages for front and back.
Checking all the recap sheets everything looked good. Thanks to all.
Competition looked like it was
heating up. Big match was defending
champs Team Anderson (Bruce Jenner Team shirts) vs
Scramble winners Team Freeman. Results:
Team Anderson had no mercy, must be the shirts.
There were 8 birdies overall, 6 on
the front nine and 2 on the back nine.
Back nine was tough and play was slow this week. Please remember to play ready golf and keep
the pace moving. The woods ate 3 of my
balls, and from the stats on the back I must not have been the only one.
Good rounds on the front was
Mike Donlin – 36, Steve Ruehl – 37, Jim Bramlage – 38, Jeff Witt – 38, and Ray
Vaughn – 38. Back nine was Bill Holocher
– 39.
Treasurer Chuck Reckers reports that
only two players still need to pay. One on Team Anderson and one on Team Donlin. Chuck
thanks everyone who is paid and a special thanks to those who have paid the
whole season.
Here is something I received via
e-mail from Mr. Bill Clark over the winter and thought would be nice to share:
Senators
in Hell?
While walking down
the street one day a Corrupt Senator (that may be redundant) was tragically hit
by a car and died.
His soul arrives in
heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
"Welcome to
heaven," says St.. Peter..
"Before you settle in, it seems there is a
problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so
we're not sure what to do with you.."
"No problem,
just let me in," says the Senator.
"Well, I'd
like to, but I have orders from the higher ups. What we'll do is have
you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to
spend eternity."
"Really?, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says
the Senator.
"I'm sorry,
but we have our rules."
And with that, St.
Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.
The doors open and
he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course.
In the distance is
a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians
who had worked with him.
Everyone is very
happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand,
and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense
of the people.
They played a
friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and the
finest wines and champagne.
Also present is the
devil, who really is a very friendly guy who is having a good time dancing and
telling jokes.
They are all having
such a good time that before the Senator realizes it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives him
a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises.
The elevator goes
up, up, up and the door reopens in heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him,
"Now it's time to visit heaven...”
So, 24 hours passed
with the Senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud,
playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it,
the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.
"Well, then,
you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your
eternity."
The Senator
reflects for a minute, then he answers: "Well, I would never have said it
before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in
hell."
So St. Peter escorts
him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell...
Now the doors of
the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste
and garbage.
He sees all his
friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as
more trash falls to the ground.
The devil comes
over to him and puts his arm around his shoulders.
"I don't
understand," stammers the Senator. "Yesterday I was here and there
was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank
champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full
of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?"
The devil smiles at
him and says,
"Yesterday
we were campaigning,
Today, you voted.."
