IRS Wednesday Golf League Newsletter
Week 7 – June 8,
2016
Congratulations
to Charlie Patmann for his Hole-in-One on #5 par 3. Course management was spreading the word
around the course letting everyone know.
Then with that congratulations go to Mike Breen who got an Eagle on the
par 4 #3. Mike was in the Skins game and
won the Eagle Pot. Talking with Mike, this was his first Eagle, as he has only
been playing for about 4 years.
It
was good seeing Mr. Ed Kiffmeyer at the clubhouse. Glad he could make it and hope he gets out
again before his surgery. His team
really needs his support.
This week we had 15 subs: Larry Oliver & Izzy Jewell (for Team
Kiffmeyer), Jo Diehl (for Team Patmann), Jeff Witt (for Team Buescher), Greg
Arkle, Shari Anderson, and new sub Jennifer Petit (for Team Harms), Bob
Kendrach (for Team Halpin), Chet Wiggins & Will Freeman (for Team Zachritz),
Dave Martin (for Team Flynn), Mike Schwarberg (for Team Kientz), Steve Ruehl
& Dave Vincent (for Team Donlin), and Melody Oswalt (for Team Leirey).
Good rounds this week: Front 9 – Greg Arkle – 38; Back 9 – Tom
Schumacher – 38.
A Division saw defending Champs Team
Schumacher losing more steam. It looks
like they may have come out of the gate to fast as the division is tightening
up on the top 3. Except for Team Donlin,
but then maybe they are waiting for the home stretch to make their move.
B Division has my team, Team Halpin,
still in the lead. We suffered our worse
loss of the season but then that was against Team Breen and Mike Breen’s
Eagle. Team Breen scored more points
against us then I think they scored all last year. Hope that doesn’t take the wind out of our
sail. Team Harms pulled out another good
win and is moving closer up. Team
Kiffmeyer (without Ed) is struggling along and Team Buescher is ever falling
further back and may get the Fork by next week.
C Division has Team Zachritz and
Team Kientz only 10.5 points apart. Team
Bramlage is barely holding on and Team Freeman is falling ever so gradually.
D Division has Team Patmann with a
commanding lead thanks to Charlie Patmann’s
Hole-in-One. Team Breen after their big
win is moving up and closing in. Talk
has it they will bring in Dave Spaeth next week, so watch out for them. Team Anderson (the Shirts) even with a win
fell to third. Team Pfeiffer took
another loss and have moved themselves to the top of
the upside down list and are officially forked.
Status
of the almighty Fork (and we are not even half way yet): Team Anderson – week 5. Team Pfeiffer – week 7.
On final notice - Team Buescher since they still might have a chance (???).
Again another reminder to be on or
very near the tee box ahead of your tee time so as to not delay teeing
off. Course management is still getting
on us about slow play. Remember there is
a league behind us.
Heard around the
clubhouse:
The
Breen twins (no they are not twins) were talking and Mr. Pat Breen started
talking about 1963 when the league first started. Seems Pat has seen a lot at the course, and
then it was a different building, but then next week will have Dave Spaeth (Pops)
there to continue the conversation.
Then
Mr. Mike Breen was explaining how he managed his Eagle. With a long way into #3 he was at first going
to use a soft 4 iron then changed his mind to a strong 5 iron. He used a baseball swing, hit it well, but
didn’t get to see the ball go in the hole.
Didn’t know he had the Eagle until their group got up to the green and
his ball wasn’t there, then his opponent found it in the hole. Not bad for only 4 years of playing golf.
Then
there was me, making the long putt on #9 & Birdie, and getting asked how did I do that. Well my answer was easy. After making my first putt attempt on #1 I
continued #2 through #8 with 2 to 3 putts on each hole (didn’t want to waste
any more good putts) as practice until I got to #9. It seemed to work even though I lost my match
(I did win #9 hole).
Brilliant wasn’t I???
