This past week we had 14 subs:  Kirt Mowery (Team Buescher), Brad Ferguson (Team Buescher), Mark Anderson (Team Buescher), Dave Martin (Team Flynn) Don Iannelli (Team Flynn), Jeff Barnhorst (Team Anderson), Jonathan Behrens (Team Freeman), Kelly Johnson (Team Schumacher), Tom Berns (Team Vaughn), Kevin Dyhouse (Team Halpin), Dave Vincent (Team Bachmann), Greg Arkle (Team Harms), Steve Ruehl (Team Leirey), and new sub Rick McErlane (Team Bramlage).  Thanks for being there.

 

Jeff Barnhorst has informed me that he will not be able to sub the rest of this year due to his work schedule.  Time for him to retire from work.

 

Good Rounds:

Front Nine:  Dick Flynn = 35; Bill Zachritz – 36; Kirt Mowery – 37; Tom Berns – 37; Tom Schumacher – 38; Ray Vaughn – 38.

Back Nine:  Kevin Bachmann – 37; Jim Bramlage – 38; Steve Ruehl – 39.

Division Standings:

A Division had no changes in positions with just a small change in teams catching up with leader Team Bramlage; with Team Bachmann moving into #6 Seed, closely followed by Team Breen and Team Halpin. 

Division B has Team Flynn in their lead to 23.5 points over Team Schumacher; Team Vaughn started showing some life with a big win; Team Patmann needs to volunteer to help Col. Schu with the Scramble. 

In Division C Team Buescher increased their lead; Team Anderson (the shirts) moved into 2nd with Team Kientz falling to 3rd; with Team Freeman not far behind. 

Division D still has no changes in position with Team Kiffmeyer in the lead, following not too far out Team Harms and Team Leirey, with Team Pfeiffer in command on top of the upside down leader list.  Position Round may see some big changes to the Division rankings.

 

Current seeding is:

#1 Seed – Team Bramlage (A Division)

#2 Seed – Team Flynn (B Division)

#3 Seed – Team Buescher (C Division)

#4 Seed – Team Kiffmeyer (D Division)

#5 Seed – Team Schumacher (B Division)

#6 Seed – Team Bachmann (A Division)

 

Status of the Almighty Fork:

 

Okay this may be illogical, but it was said that any team losing to Team Halpin needs to be Forked.  So here goes, Team Kiffmeyer lost severely to Team Halpin and is hereby Forked, which leads to every team in D Division being Forked.    

 

Forked Week 7:  Team Leirey and Team Pfeiffer.       Forked Week 8:  Team Anderson.

Forked Week 9:  Team Patmann.                              Forked Week 10:  Team Harms

Forked Week 11: Team Kiffmeyer

                                                                                               

Secretaries Pick for Position Round:

A Division secretary predicts Team Bramlage taking a big loss to Defending Champs Team Bachmann (SLYE); and the secretaries favorite, Team Halpin, putting the hurt on Team Breen.

B Division secretary picks Team Flynn vs Team Schumacher to be a slug fest with Team Flynn barely defeating Team Schumacher. Secretary picks Team Vaughn destroying Team Patmann (sorry Bill).

C Division Team Buescher vs Team Anderson should be another slug fest with Team Shirts barely winning.  Team Kientz vs Team Freeman will probably have Team Kientz moving to the bottom of the division.

D Division (just don’t know about this) secretary pick Team Harms putting a big hurt on Team Kiffmeyer while Team Leirey vs Team Pfeiffer will finally see Team Pfeiffer bring in a win.

 

As in years past anyone able to pick all the winners and sending to the secretary before Wednesday will get special mention in the newsletter and a string of experienced golf balls.

 

Missed Shot of the Day:

Dick Flynn shooting par getting Birdies on #3 and #4 and just missing Birdies on #7 and #8.

 

Heard in the Clubhouse:

Mr. Bill Zachritz feeling left out since his name has not been mentioned in the newsletter.  Well sorry, you have to take that up with the Complaint Committee.
