Another “Dreaded
Rainout” – 2nd of the Season
When the 1st of the 8 groups teed off at
around 3:36 PM it was very hot but it looked like no
problem getting 9 holes in. That changed
drastically sometime between 4:45 PM and 5:00 PM. It wasn’t just rain. It was strong winds and lightning and at
least 2 trees falling down. One was on #12 (not certain where exactly on
the hole) and the other was on #5 about 30 yards to the right of #5 tee just
next to the shelter. Clyde Barnes, player C for Team Schumacher had parked his
cart alongside the shelter moments before the tree fell. Clyde told us he heard the tree falling but
it happened so fast he was not able to attempt to get out of the way. This may have turned into a blessing because the
tree fell within 5 feet of where he sat in the cart. Thank God he was not harmed. All players in our league safely returned to
the clubhouse and I don’t believe anyone was hurt. Thank God as well for that. After checking with the course about the
possibility of resuming play later and being told it might not be until 7:30 PM
until we can resume playing President Lee Crouch called all 16 captains (acting
captains) together for a vote of whether to call a rainout. At least 9 captains voted for a rainout and
that was it. Wednesday so far this year
is not the best weekday to play in a golf league. Let’s hope the other weekdays take their
turns for rainouts!

APHORISMS
/ READ - UNDERSTAND - LEARN ---
No
matter how educated, talented, rich or cool you
believe you are, how you treat people ultimately tells all!
Thought for the
Weak!!!
In life, it’s important to know when to stop arguing
with people and simply let them be wrong!
Questions of the
Weak!!!
1.
What odd
number becomes even when beheaded???
Answer: Seven – behead the “S” and you’re left with “even”!
2.
Where did the
name “Tuxedo” originate from???
Answer: In 1889, a well-dressed man
named Griswold Lorillard wore a black dinner jacket with no tails to a country
club in Tuxedo Park, New York. Admirers
of the jacket asked their tailors to make copies of the
“jackets
worn in Tuxedo”, giving rise to the tuxedo name.
3.
What room do ghosts avoid?
Answer in next week’s Newsletter.
4.
What is the best way to communicate with fish?
Answer in next week’s Newsletter!
Can You Tell Me …….?
In 1943 and on one day between March 1st
and May 31st two individuals (world famous) met and decided that,
within 15 months, something was going to happen on planet Earth!
Can you tell me the names of these 2 individuals and
what happened? Good Luck!!!
I was going to answer both of these questions in
this Newsletter but I am going to wait one more week
before doing so. I asked these questions
to two of our league players and both had not read the May 25th
Newsletter. I wonder how many more have
not read it.
If you think you know please send me an email. I’ll give you credit if you do. I don’t believe anyone will get both answers correct. I do believe that, in 1943, we were involved
in a World War!
Answer: The
two individuals are British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and POTUS Franklin
D. Roosevelt met at the White House and set a date for what would become
D-Day. This was on May 19, 1943. They previously met on May 12, 1943 and discussed other matters relating to the war. It was on December 7, 1943, that President
Roosevelt sent a handwritten message to Marshall Stalin of Russia telling him
that General Eisenhower would command Operation Overlord which began with
D-Day.
Can You Tell Me …….?
June 6, 1944, was not the initial date planned for D-Day. What day was the initial planned date? Why was it moved? And, the day before the invasion took place
one of Eisenhower’s generals advised him not to go through with the
invasion. Who was this general and why
did he make this request? I look forward
to hearing from Cecil Begley and Erich Kientz on these questions!
True or False???
1.
A surgeon in
England branded patients’ livers with his initials!
Answer: True. The doctor has been barred from practicing
medicine.
2.
A competitive sun-tanner’s baby was born with tan lines!
Answer: False.
3.
A man shot a hole in one on the same hole four days
in a row!
Answer: False.
4.
Drones carrying sausages were used to save a stranded
dog!
Answer: True. The dog was trapped on mud flats in England and
was in danger of drowning as the tide rose.
5.
Small fish rained from the sky in Texarkana, Texas.
Answer: True. This can happen during severe weather events
when fish are swept up into waterspouts!
6.
In an unrelated story, a goldfish learned to drive a
vehicle.
Answer: The small vehicle was developed
by Israeli scientists and gave the fish control of its movements based on how
it swam in the attached tank!
7.
Merriam-Webster added “dad bod” to the dictionary!
Answer in next week’s Newsletter.
8.
A now-rich woman took stock tips from her cat!
Answer in next week’s Newsletter.
Did You Know!!!
Approximately 62% of Americans have less than $1,000
in their savings accounts and 21% don’t even have a savings account!
