Week 6 – June 1,
2016
Position Round
Position
Round 1 is complete and looks like I was right on some of my predictions,
close on a couple, and way off on a few.
My predictions:
A
Division - Team Schumacher being crushed badly by Team Flynn – I was correct
on this one (the odds were in my favor); Team Leirey splitting with Team Donlin
– I was wrong on this as Team Leirey crushed Team Donlin (I didn’t know Mike
wasn’t going to be there).
B
Division – Team Halpin crushing Team Kiffmeyer – I was correct on this but
had my doubts when Team Kiff brought in 4 subs; Team Harms barely beating Team Buescher – I was close but
Team Harms crushed Team Buescher.
C
Division – Team Kientz falling to Team Zachritz – I was correct on this
one (again the odds were in my favor); Team Freeman crushing Team Bramlage
– way wrong on this, it was the opposite (must have been the fish).
D
Division – Team Patmann squeaking out a win vs. Team Breen – I was close
but no squeaking, it was more like a crushing, Team Anderson falling to Team
Pfeiffer – I was way wrong on this, guess the fork motivated Team Anderson
(or lack of their fearless leader and their A player).
With
Team Schumacher and Team Kientz both suffering their 1st loss of the
season, could it be they came out of the gate too strong and burned themselves
out? One third around the track and we
will have to see if they can make it in the long stretch.
Status
of the almighty Fork: Team Anderson –
week 5. On notice Team Buescher &
Team Pfeiffer.
This week we had 14 subs: Ken Holloway (for Team Flynn); Steve Ruehl
(for Team Donlin); Larry Oliver, Dave Vincent, Melody Oswalt, and Izzy Jewell
(for Team Kiffmeyer); Jeff Witt (for Team Buescher); Bill Holocher and Greg Arkle
(for Team Harms); Mike Schwarberg (for Team Kientz); Chet Wiggins (for Team
Zachritz); Bonnie Harrison (for Team Freeman); Jeff Barnhorst and Terry Buelow
(for Team Anderson).
Good rounds this week: Front 9 – Ken Holloway – 37, Ray Vaughn – 38,
Larry Oliver – 38, Greg Arkle – 39, Bill Holocher – 39, and Jeff Witt - 39; Back
9 – Erich Kientz - 40.
Another reminder about Skins/Greenies/Long
Putt, please, please, please, last group in bring in the markers, even if you
are not in the games. Also last groups
out could you be courteous enough to put away all the spreadsheets and cash box
in the briefcase and put the briefcase behind the office counter.
Course management was not on us
about speed of play this week; however I did notice that groups are not in the
tee box area ahead of tee time, causing delays in teeing off. A lot of times we can get off early if
everyone is there and not be hunting around the clubhouse for players.
This really happened at the
clubhouse: The bartender had problems
tapping a keg and asked Mr. Ed Miller and myself if we
could help and if we could fix it we would get a pitcher of beer. So off we went and Mr. Ed Miller (years ago I
supervised him as his manager) supervised me on tapping the keg. Mr. Ed Miller was in heaven as he supervised
me and then drank all the beer.
Sometimes pays to stick around the clubhouse.
For
those of you wondering where is Mr. Ed Kiffmeyer. He is having hip problems and is scheduled
for surgery later this month. Here is
wishing him speedy recovery and get well soon, his team really needs him, and
we miss him at the clubhouse.
Heard around the clubhouse: Not for sure how it goes so you will have to ask the
person, in person: Something about Mr.
Mike Schwarberg aka Dancing with Dogs.
Then
there is Mr. Izzy Jewell and something about boots and taking care of Air Force
Bomber Alert Officers.
Chuckle for the week: Hoping to get some input from Mr. Wis-dumb or the prez. So here is something I found
on-line:
The schoolteacher
was taking her first golfing lesson.
"Is the word spelt p-u-t or p-u-t-t?'' she asked the instructor.
"P-u-t-t is correct,'' he replied.
"Put means to place a thing where you want it. Putt means merely a vain
attempt to do the same thing."
