Week 8 – June 17, 2020

Good news for this week was that Team 12 is no longer vacant.  Welcome back to Sue Kerrick, Jonathan Behrens, Sherrill Swann, and new regular Tom Nonno.  Thanks to all those who made this happen.

I wanted to pass on that Mrs. Halpin appreciated all the thanks she received about the mask she made for the league.

Every week I will post this about carts and fees.  Green fees and cart fees are still being paid by the League Treasurer Chuck Reckers.  For those okay with riding 2 in a cart with teammates that is now acceptable.   For those who said they will walk but wish to change to walk front and ride back or ride both sides, you need to let the League Treasurer Chuck Reckers know by Tuesdays 6 p.m. so he can update his records and notify the course on number of carts we will need.  Also, if you are having a sub that is different on walk or ride you need to let Chuck know about that.  If a player wants to commit to ride the back or both sides Chuck will update his records and collect the cart fees as part of the second installment in mid to late July.  Reminder that no changing your mind at the course. 

Subs this past week:  Greg Arkle (Team Harms), Mike Schwarberg (Team Kientz), Jeff Barnhorst (Team Breen), Mark Anderson (Team BKNS),  Carol Goldstone (Team Pfeiffer), Brad Ferguson (Team Buescher).  Thanks for being there.

Good Rounds:  Front:  Greg Arkle – 39; Jim Westcott – 39; Back:  Kevin Bachmann – 37.

Okay, I warned you all last week so here goes for those that are Sandbaggers of the Weak.

Division Standings:

A Division:  Defending League Champs Team Kiffmeyer moved into the lead with Team Bramlage not far behind.  Team Schumacher falls to 4th.   Note:  This division is still brining in the most points so far.

 

Division B:  Team Halpin took the lead with Team Flynn not too far back.  Note:   Note:  Team Leirey is tied at the bottom or should I say the top of the upside down list (Fork is still being sharpened).

 

Division C:  Team Breen still in the lead Team Zachritz not too far away.  Note:  This is the 2nd highest scoring division, with Team Harms tied at the top of the upside down list.

 

Division D:  Team Bachmann still in the lead with Team Vaughn and Team Pfeiffer not too far back.   Note:  Team 12 is currently named BKNS (Behrens, Kerrick, Nonno, Swann). 

 

Teams with no losses:  Team Kiffmeyer. 

Teams with no wins:  Team Buescher, Team Harms.

 

Heard in the Clubhouse (Outside):

From what I heard; Cecil Begley witnessed an incident on #7.   What I could make out was a Fox showed up looking for grub.  Seems the Fox found a Squirrel to snack on in front of Cecil.  I take it Cecil was not happy that the Fox did not share his snack with him.  There was probably more to this story but that is all I could make out.

 

Words of Whizdumb:

Something from League President Tom Schumacher

The Polite Way To Excuse Yourself to Go Pee

During one of her daily classes, a teacher trying to teach good manners, asked her students the following question: "Michael, if you were on a date having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?" Michael said: 'Just a minute I have to go pee.' The teacher responded by saying: 'That would be rude and impolite'

What about you Sherman, how would you say it?' Sherman said: 'I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back 'That's better, but it's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the dinner table.

And you, little Johnny, can you use your brain for once and show us your good manners? Johnny said: 'I would say: Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope to introduce to you after dinner.'

The teacher once again sent Johnny to the principal's office.
