IRS Wednesday Golf League Newsletter

Week 6 – May 31, 2017

 

Excellent weather as Position Round #1 was completed. 

This week we had 6 subs:  Mary Jo Leirey (3)(for Team Freeman), Steve Ruehl (3)(for Team Bramlage), Izzy Jewell (2)(for Team Kiffmeyer), Dave Spaeth (3)(for Team Breen), Matt McRoberts (3)(for Team Buescher), and Cindy Ellsworth (6)(for Team Pfeiffer).

Good rounds this week were: 

Front – Ray Vaughn – 37, Steve Ruehl – 37, and Bill Zachritz – 38.

Back – Kevin Bachmann – 36.

 

League Secretary outcome of predictions of position round:

A Division: 

Team Schumacher (using wrong side recap) getting forked with Team Bramlage (miss calculating handicap) winning. 

·        I was right on the win going to Team Bramlage.  Surprisingly the correct recap sheet was used and Mr. Bramlage calculated the handicap correctly.  Team Schumacher gets the Fork.

Team Kiffmeyer squeaking by on Team Patmann as Mr. Z can’t quite do it.

·        I was way off on this one as Mr. Z somehow pulled in another win as Team Patmann defeated Team Kiffmeyer.  Note:  Mr. Z was upset that Mr. Ackerman wasn’t there.

B Division: 

Team Kientz dropping their second game as Team Flynn takes them down. 

·        I hit it right on this prediction as Team Kientz was amply defeated by Team Flynn.

Team Pfeiffer vs. Team Buescher will be too close to call, probably come out as a tie.

·        I was close on this as the individual match and medal points were close and the match was decided by Team medal and the win going to Team Buescher.

C Division: 

Team Anderson will definitely fall to Team Harms in the biggest upset this year. 

·        Slightly wrong on this prediction as Team Medal points were split and Team Anderson barely squeaked out a win over Team Harms.  Must have been the Shirts.

Team Vaughn will finally find their way and send Team Freeman to the cellar.

·        Called this one right as Team Vaughn sent Team Freeman to the bottom.

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. 

·        Another correct call as Team Halpin pulled out a win over Team Slye.  Thank you teammates.

Team Leirey vs. Team Breen should be a close match also with Team Leirey falling to Team Breen.

·        Close match but I was wrong on the outcome as Team Leirey was able to take medal and squeak out the win over Team Breen.

Status of the Almighty Fork:  End of May and the Fork is sharpened and has claimed it’s first victim.  Officially Forked is Team Schumacher (no foreseeable future).  On the Fork warning list is Team Freeman.

From League President Tom Schumacher:  Missed another post time.

Heard in the Clubhouse:

Mr. Frank Leirey commenting on his balls.  Someone in the gallery commenting on the color.  Mrs. MaryJo Leirey’s comments not printable.

 

From Mr. Bill Zachritz:  “What’s the deal with Jay Ackerman, he ducked out on me.”

To Mr. Bill Zachritz:  Take that to the complaint committee, you should have read the fine print.

 

From the League Rules: 

Article X.  Forfeiture of Points Due to No-Show Players:  Team with less than three (3) players will forfeit team medal, if both teams have less than three (3) players they both forfeit team medal and play for only 72 of the 90 points. (However there is a statement in the old rules that each of the teams would split the eighteen (18) forfeiture points, this makes the above statement erroneous.)  Four (4) team medal points will be awarded to a player who has no opponent.  This rule is only in effect when there is one no-show player out of the eight scheduled players.  The remaining fourteen (14) medal points, which are scored below the individual subtotal line on the score sheets, will be contested by the three matches played, as in a regular match.  The effect of this rule awards a player who has no opponents twenty two (22) points, nine (9) match points, nine (9) individual points and four (4) team medal points.

 

Article XV.  Team Match Scoring:  Each team will consist of four individual matches of eighteen (18) points and team medal of eighteen (18) points, totaling 90 points.  The individual matches consist of nine (9) points per hole match play and nine (9) points medal play (total strokes).  The handicap will be calculated at 90%.  The team medal contest is determined by stroke difference between the teams of each individual medal contest.

Complaint Committee:  Mr. Bill Zachritz, Mr. Z, Mr. Bill Z., Zac, and Mr. Zachritz: Your 1st week loss remains unchanged.  Remember as the complaint committee you cannot resolve a single or multiple complaint.  All statements from you will be treated as a complaint and will not ever be resolved as that is your duty to commit to non-resolution of all complaints. Remember as you are a non-resolver to an unelected position you should not commit to change anything and only take on additional complaints, that you do not pass on (or out if you have too many beers).  P.S. – You are probably the only person reading this too. So may the power of the non-force be with you. P.S. of the P.S. – the MVP is only 13 weeks away.
