Week 5 – May 24, 2017

Managed to dodge the rain but not by much.  Last teams got a little wet thanks in part to some very slow play by some of the earlier teams. 

This week we had 8 subs:  Sherry Anderson (1)(for Team Harms), Cindy Ellsworth (5)(for Team Freeman), Jeff Barnhorst (2)(for Team Anderson), Johnny Lloyd (2)(for Team Kientz), Dan Varndell (1)(for Team Breen), Matt McRoberts (2)(for Team Buescher) , Jack Snowden (2)(for Team Buescher), and Bob Kendrach (1)(for Team Halpin).

Good rounds this week were: 

Front – Jay Ackerman – 37; Bill Zachritz – 38

Back – Jimmy Smith – 39; Kevin Bachmann – 39.

 

Team Kientz finally lost their 1st match, four teams have a 4-0 record.  Only 50% of the teams won their match this week.  That is starting to show a trend.

Only one player, Jimmy Smith, with a 5 win no loss record, he also holds the average point lead. Jay Ackerman has the Birdie lead with 3.  Birdie’s have been scarce.

Finally this week Jim Bramlage got it right.  Yeah!!!

Also getting it partially right on filling out the recaps was Team Schumacher.  At least they used the correct recap for which side they were on.

Not getting it right was someone/s not putting the correct amount in the Skins/Greenies/Long Putt pot.  The pot was short $4 this week.

League Secretary prediction of position round results:

A Division:  Team Schumacher (using wrong side recap) getting forked with Team Bramlage (miss calculating handicap) winning.  Team Kiffmeyer squeaking by on Team Patmann as Mr. Z can’t quite do it.

B Division:  Team Kientz dropping their second game as Team Flynn takes them down.  Team Pfeiffer vs. Team Buescher will be too close to call, probably come out as a tie.

C Division:  Team Anderson will definitely fall to Team Harms in the biggest upset this year.  Team Vaughn will finally find their way and send Team Freeman to the cellar.

D Division:  Team Halpin vs. Team Slye has the secretary on edge.  But I will put my wager on Team Halpin in what will be a close match.  Team Leirey vs. Team Breen should be a close match also with Team Leirey falling to Team Breen.

From League President Tom Schumacher:  No show at the starting gate.

Heard in the Clubhouse:

 

Mr. Tom Nienaber commenting that he never sees anything on e-mail.  Must be because he is the only human on earth without a computer or e-mail account.  At least he doesn’t have to deal with a lot of Spam.

 

Mr. Frank Leirey commenting on his golf wardrobe ($18 golf attire).  Recommends we all go down to Florida and do our shopping at Goodwill.  Hopefully he will let us all stay at his condo down there.  Other comments from Frank are not printable or repeatable.

 

From Mr. Bill Zachritz, “always read the fine print.”

 

The skin on #14 forward tee box.  Sorry he wasn’t in the games.  Snake

Skins—Greenies—Long Putt

Most of the regulars and subs in the league know about Skins, Greenies, and Long Putt. For those that do not, each week there will be a sheet and a box on one of the tables in the clubhouse.  The sheet will have the names of all the regulars and blank lines at the bottom for subs to write in their names. $3.00 entry fee for Skins; $1.00 entry fee for Greenies and $1.00 entry fee for Long Putt.  Place a check mark for each category for which you are participating.  If the Briefcase is not out notate on your scorecard your intent to play and pay when you complete your match.  First teams out please take the markers, last teams in please bring markers in.
