IRS Wednesday Golf League Newsletter

Week 1 – April 26, 2017

First week turned out to be a good start for the season.  Weather was perfect. 

 

Treasurer Chuck Reckers reports that 49 regulars are current on dues/green fees.  There are still 15 outstanding,  please bring your payment on May 3.

Special note on this: this is the 1st year in recorded history that Mr. Bramlage remembered to bring a check the 1st week.  Must be the new shoulder.

 

Welcome to new regulars:

Team 16 Slye - new members Mark Slye, Kevin Bachmann, Lori Johnson, and Jeff Elsbernd.

Team 10 Buescher – new member Tom Mullett.

Team 9 Patmann – new member Ken Thoerner.

Team 8 Leirey – new member Melody Oswalt and Boyd Marley.

Team 2 Kientz – new member Mike Schwarberg.

 

Welcome to new sub Cindy Ellsworth.

 

Subs this week were: John Kaufhold (for Team Pfeiffer), Cindy Ellsworth (for Team Buescher), Izzy Jewell (for Team Kiffmeyer), Bonnie Harrison (for Team Anderson), Steve Ruehl (for Team Vaughn).

 

We had 3 no shows this week, two regulars and one sub were no shows. 

 

Really good rounds this week was Steve Ruehl with a 35 and Kevin Bachmann with a 38.  Both were on the back nine.

 

Still too early to fork Team Schumacher, defending League Champs Team Bramlage did well also.  However Team Patmann (without Mr. Z) almost got knocked out of A Division by Team Flynn and Team Harms was requesting the Fork already.  The competition has started.

 

Condolences to the family of Alan Berger.  Alan was a long time member of the league.  Alan passed away on April 8 after his struggle with ALS.  There is a memorial service for Alan on May 6, 1 p.m.- 2:30 p.m.at First Church of Christ, 6080 Camp Ernst Rd., Burlington, KY.

Question of the Weak:

Where is and/or what happened to League President Schu?

 

And some gee wizdumbs from Mr. Feldman (or is that things to ponder):

1. Ever wonder about those people who spend $2.00 a piece on those little bottles of Evian water? 
Try spelling Evian backwards : NAIVE

2. Isn't making a smoking section in a restaurant like making a peeing section in a swimming pool?  (My sentiments exactly!)

3.  OK .... so if the Jacksonville Jaguars are known as the 'Jags' and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are known  as the 'Bucs,'

 what does that make the Tennessee  Titans?

4.  If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea does that mean that one enjoys it? 

5.  There are three religious truths: 
  a. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah. 
  b. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian faith. 
  c. Baptists do not recognize each other in the liquor store or Hooters.

6.   If people from  Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland  called Holes? 

7.  If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?

8.   Why do croutons come in airtight packages? Aren't they just stale bread to begin with?

9  Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who drives a race car is not called a racist? 

10. Why isn't the number 11 pronounced onety one?

11.   If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted,

 cowboys deranged,  models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?

12.  If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP?

13.   Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks?  

14.   What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of  bald men?

15.   I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me.. they're

 cramming for their final exam.

16. I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks, so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use? 

Toothpicks?

17.   Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do, write to them?
Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen can look for them while they deliver the mail?

18.  If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for? 

19.   You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive. 
21.   Ever wonder what the speed of lightning would be if it didn't zigzag?

22.   If a cow laughed, would she spew milk out of her nose?

23.   Whatever happened to Preparations A through G?

24. At income tax time, did you ever notice: When you put the two words 'The' and 'IRS' together it spells  ... 'THEIRS'?
