IRS Wednesday Golf League Newsletter
Week 9 – June 21, 2017
Week
nine completed, half season is over and the competition is getting on for the
trophy. Play between Division A vs.
Division C and Division B vs. Division D is complete. Next will be Division A vs. Division D and
Division B vs. Division C.
Second
half league fees are due by June 28th. For those that owe 2nd half fee is
$148.50. Pouches will be in the
briefcase to put checks in (payable to IRS Golf League). Treasurer Chuck Reckers thanks those that are
paid in full. Questions concerning the
fees please contact Chuck at email: cmjrecke@gmail.com.
This
week we had 4 subs: Mary Jo Leirey (for
Team Leirey), Cindy Ellsworth (for Team Anderson), Steve Ruehl (for Team
Bramlage), and new sub Carl Jahnke (for Team
Freeman). Thanks for being there.
Good rounds this
week were:
Front – Mark Slye – 36, Jim
Grassinger - 37.
Back
– Mark Halpin – 39.
Match of the Weak:
This
would have to be the match between Team Flynn and Team Slye, with a total of 5
Birdies and 22 Pars. Jim Grassinger
pulled in 2 Birdies, while Mark Slye pulled in 3 Birdies. Best or most unusual had to be Mark Slye on
#6, 1st shot into reservoir, takes a drop, and from 130 yards out
sinks the shot in the hole for a Birdie as witnessed by Jim Grassinger. This gets a big WOW!!!
Sandbaggers of the Weak: (5.0
greater or less):

(5.4 over average), Garry Melish shoots 50 (5.1 over average), Wayne Witt

Status of the
Almighty Fork:
Team
Freeman was given one last chance and couldn’t do it and requested one more
chance but the Fork has finally found them.
Team Patmann and Team Breen both could not dodge the Fork and are
officially done.
Week 6 - Team Schumacher.
Week 9 – Team Freeman, Team Patmann,
Team Breen.
Division
Standings:
o
Division
A has defending Champs Team Bramlage (#3 seed) still holding the lead but with
Team Kiffmeyer moving up and starting their run. Team Patmann fell to the bottom with Team
Schumacher barely holding 3rd.
Only 104 points separate the teams.
o
Division
B has Team Kientz (#4 seed) with a slight lead.
Team Buescher (this time with a loss) moved from 4th to 2nd. Team Flynn held onto 3rd with Team
Pfeiffer dropping to 4th. A
whooping 17 points separate the 4 teams and there will probably be a lot of
juggling the lead here.
o
Division
C has Team Anderson (the Shirts) holding their lead and gaining the #1
seed. Team Harms (#5 seed) is still hot
on their tail. Team Vaughn fell back a
little but is still in the hunt. Team
Freeman still holds their spot at the top of the upside down league points
list.
o
Division
D has Team Halpin still holding their lead but dropping from #1 seed to #2
seed. Team Leirey (#6 seed) brings in 2nd
and is starting to make their run along with 3rd place Team
Slye. Team Breen still brings in 2nd
place on the upside down points list.

Heard in the
Clubhouse:
Team Anderson (the Shirts – Blue) out doing a rain dance now
that they are number 1 seed. Team
Halpin out dancing with them (number 2 seed). No luck, with nine weeks left before
play-offs I doubt there could be that many rain-outs.
Has
anyone seen the league photographer – Mr. Erich Kientz – how
are you?
Note
to self….make notes……Charles in charge…………….
Question for the Weak/Thoughts to
Ponder:
-At a
movie theater which arm rest is yours?
-Why is there a disclaimer on the Allstate Auto Insurance commericals
that says "Not available in all states"?
-If you dug a hole through the center of the earth, and jumped in, would you
stay at the center because of gravity?
-How far east can you go before you're heading west?
-If, in a baseball game, the batter hits a ball splitting it right down the
center with half the ball flying out of the park and the other half being
caught, what is the final ruling?
-Why is it that everyone driving faster than you is considered an idiot and
everyone driving slower than you is a moron?
-When does it stop being partly cloudy and start being partly sunny?
-Can you daydream at night?
-Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
-What does PU stand for (as in "PU, that
stinks!")?
-Why do we put suits in a garment bag and put garments in a suitcase?
-Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
-What happens when you put a light-saber in water?
-Where do people in Hell tell other people to go?
-If there's an exception to every rule, is there an exception to that rule?
