Condolences to Don and Pat Buescher’s family.  Don’s father-in-law, Patrick’s grandfather, passed away this past week. 

This week we had 6 subs:  Izzy Jewell (for Team Kiffmeyer), Jeff Witt and new sub Brad Ferguson (for Team Buescher), Larry Oliver and Mike Schwarberg (for Team Kientz), and Melody Oswalt (for Team Leirey). 

Treasurer report:  Treasurer Chuck Reckers was out this past week but according to what was collected there are still several players that owe 2nd half fees.  For those who still owe the team pouches will be in the briefcase to put payment in on July 13.  Any questions on this send an e-mail to Chuck Reckers at cmjrecke@gmail.com.

Good rounds this week:  Front 9 – Bill Zachritz – 39, Wayne Witt – 39, & Back 9 - Ray Vaughn – 36, Tom Schumacher – 38.

Most Under Average (Sandbagger Award):  Wayne Witt (7.6 under average), Jim Fish (5.0 under average).

Most Over Average (Hope to be a Sandbagger Some Day Award):  Tim Andrew (7.4 over average), Sue Kerrick (8.6 over average), Gene Pfeiffer (6.5 over average), Pat Breen (7.3 over average), and Jake Job-Rivera (5.9 over average).

Gift match of the weak: Jim Bramlage shoots a 44 (2.4 over average) and defeats Tim Andrew’s 51 (7.4 over average).  Then there is Jake Job-Rivera shooting a 54 (5.9 over average)(giving 2 strokes) defeating Pat Breen’s 59 (7.3 over average).

 Division Rankings

A Division - Defending Champs Team Schumacher (3) still holds the lead in division but slid down in the seeding.  Team Leirey took over 2nd place with Team Flynn dropping to third.  Team Donlin came alive and may be ready to make their run (I guess seeing the fork coming in their direction put some life into them).

B Division - Team Halpin (2) with another win holds 1st place here and moved up to the second seed.  Team Buescher came alive and jump up to 2nd place and may be making their run.  Team Kiffmeyer fell to third and really need their team captain.  Team Harms is trailing in fourth and need to bring in a win next week or the fork may find them. 

C Division - Team Zachritz (1) picked up some ground here and still holds the lead in division and league.   Team Kientz (5) fell a little behind but we will see what happens on position round.  Team Bramlage (6) picked up a little ground but still has a long way to go.  Team Freeman took a big loss and could be a spoiler to their opponents.

D Division – Team Patmann (4) expanded their lead with Team Breen, Team Anderson and Team Pfeiffer slowly falling behind.  Team Pfeiffer still ranks at the top of the upside down list.

My predictions on position round: 

A Division: Team Schumacher falling to Team Leirey, Team Flynn barely notching out Team Donlin;

B Division:  Team Halpin (with 3 subs) kicking Team Buescher tail, Team Kiffmeyer (without their leader) falling to Team Harms;

C Division:  Team Zachritz getting a can of whoop ass from Team Kientz, Team Bramlage falling to Team Freeman;

D Division:  Team Patmann squeaking out a win over Team Breen, Team Anderson getting crushed by Team Pfeiffer.

Seeding:  (1) Team Zachritz, (2) Team Halpin, (3) Team Schumacher, (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.

On notice:  Team Harms, Team Donlin, Team Kiffmeyer.

 

Heard around the clubhouse: 

Heard a lot about 95% of the Birdie putts coming up short this week.  There were only 6 Birdies this week, the greens were slow.  Then I had some of those missed Birdies myself, most from 90 yards out.

 

Heard some talk about getting mulligans.  Maybe we could have a buy a mulligan a round for $2 or $5 or $1 or free if you average is high enough.  Still don’t think that will help my game. 

 

Not much else to say here since my informant has been hushed up.  Please Mr. Kerns talk….

 

Chuckle for the week:

 

Mr. Bill Zachritz as head complaint committee………….

And something I found on line. 

Golf balls are like eggs. They're white, they are sold by the dozen, and a week later you have to buy more.

Skins—Greenies—Long Putt

Most of the regulars and subs in the league know about Skins, Greenies, and Long Putt.  For those that do not, each week there will be a sheet and a box on one of the tables in the clubhouse.  The sheet will have the names of all the regulars and blank lines at the bottom for subs to write in their names.  $5.00 entry fee for all games ($3.00 entry fee for Skins; $1.00 entry fee for Greenies and $1.00 entry fee for Long Putt).  Place a check mark for each category for which you are participating.  If the Briefcase is not out notate on your scorecard your intent to play and pay when you complete your match.  First teams out please take the markers, last teams in please bring markers in.

Always read the fine print.
