IRS Wednesday Golf League Newsletter

Week 10 – June 29, 2016

 

A lot happening this week.  The skins/greenie/long putt pot was correct this week.  Thanks for getting it straight.

Good news was Alan Berger on the course this week.  Good to see him playing while struggling with ALS.  Hope to see him playing again.  For those still wishing to help support the ALS Association Walk to Defeat ALS there is a donation envelope in the briefcase to make contributions.

Welcome back to Larry Bunkelman.  Larry was in town and available to sub.  Talk had it that someone on Team Halpin (FS) had him come in just to defeat Team Kientz (can of whoop-ass).  Was good seeing Larry again and thanks for helping us get the win.  Hope to see you again on the course.

Congratulations go out to Sherrill Swann.  Sherrill will be joining the retired ranks effective July 1 after 35 years of service.  Enjoy your leisure time and let’s get some more golf in.

This week we had 4 subs:  Jeff Witt & Terry Buelow (for Team Buescher), Larry Oliver (for Team Kiffmeyer), and Larry Bunkelman (for Team Halpin). 

Thanks go to Terry Buelow.  Terry only came by see Larry Bunkelman and Team Buescher had a vacant player.  Terry was willing to play and managed to be the only winner for Team Buescher. 

Update on Mr. Ed Kiffmeyer: Ed is in rehab and will be released to his home on July 2.  This is good news as his recovery is going very well.  Hope to see him at the course soon.

Treasurer report from Treasurer Chuck Reckers: There are 50 players current with dues and 14 players still outstanding on second half dues.  For those who still owe the team pouches will be in the briefcase to put payment in on July 6.  Any questions on this send an e-mail to Chuck at cmjrecke@gmail.com.

I received the free 9-hole green fee cards this week.  The cards are good for a 9-hole play at California Golf Course only.  I will have these in an envelope for the Team Captains to give to each regular.

Here are the tee times for the July 13th position round (opposite of the 1st position round) if no rain out next week.  I’ll have a sheet at the clubhouse to make the placings.

Division Rankings

A Division - Defending Champs Team Schumacher (2) is still on a slow gallop and holding on to 1st place here.  Team Flynn lost a little steam with Team Leirey starting to make their run.  Team Donlin is falling or flailing and is on notice that the Fork is getting ready. 

B Division - Team Halpin (3) after having Mr. Bunkelman brought in to defeat Team Kientz is holding onto the lead.  Team Kiffmeyer pulled in a nice win to put themselves in the competition again (Mr. Kiffmeyer must have gave them a lecture).  Team Buescher and Team Harms bring in third & fourth with only 1 point separating them. 

C Division - Team Zachritz (1) jumped into the lead (division and league) (don’t know how after Mr. Bill’s gift match) with Team Kientz (5) falling after having Mr. Bunkelman take them down.  Team Bramlage (6) lost some ground this week but are still in the hunt. Team Freeman put the hurt on Team Buescher and brings in last here and are trying to show some life, maybe the Fork motivated them some, but they remain Forked.

D Division – Team Patmann (4) jumped back into the lead here after a big win.  Team Breen dropped to second with Team Anderson (bringing in their ringer Mr. Alan Berger) losing some ground.  Team Pfeiffer still brings in the bottom and still has the honors of being on top of the upside down list. 

Seeding:  (1) Team Zachritz, (2) Team Schumacher, (3) Team Halpin, (4) Team Patmann, (5) Team Kientz, (6) Team Bramlage.

Status of the almighty Fork:  Team Anderson – week 5; Team Pfeiffer – week 7; Team Freeman – week 9.

 

Heard around the clubhouse: 

I had a problem trying to catch everything that was being said, but I caught parts of a lot of conversations, so here goes.  The league president was back this week but Mr. Chris Kerns (aka informant) must have had his clubs bent out of shape to quite him down (could be his swing was broken by someone on Team Breen).

Then Mr. Farlon Smith brings Larry Bunkelman in town from Florida to line him up with a car, only to convince him to sub on Team Halpin so his team can beat Team Kientz.  Wow I have some great team mates.

Best one was Mr. Dale Goodwin informing everyone of the gift match he received from Mr. Bill Zachritz.

You know you are having a bad golf day when you realize on the 3rd hole that you forgot to put on your golf shoes, then right after that your only golf glove falls apart.

 

Chuckle for the week:

This coming from Mr. Don Buescher:  Alright, an Irish guy walks out of a bar and…….Really it can happen.

So here is one for Mr. McBuescher: paddy English man, Irish, & Scots are on a train compartment together with a hot babe & an old dear. The train goes through a tunnel.........SMACK!!!!!!!! Train emerges from tunnel paddy English man has been decked is on the floor holding his smacked puss. Hot babe thinks "he just felt up the old dear thinking it was me & she decked him". Old dear thinks "he just felt up that young girl & she decked him ". Paddy Irish man thinks "I can’t wait til the next tunnel so I can smack that English bollix again"
