Sad
news to report.

last night after a long battle with Huntington’s Disease
at age 49. A private service will be
held at the convenience of the family.
Our sympathy goes out to Terry and his wife Diana.
Treasurer
Chuck Reckers reports that there are still 4 outstanding on league fees. Please remember to bring next week. Pouches will be in the briefcase to put
checks in (payable to IRS Golf League).
Chuck thanks those that are paid in full. Questions concerning the fees please contact
Chuck at email: cmjrecke@gmail.com.
This
week we had 5 subs: Brian Kelly (for
Team Buescher), Mary Jo Leirey (for Team Pfeiffer), Steve Ruehl (for Team Schumacher),
Kelly Johnson (for Team Schumacher), and Greg Arkle (for Team Harms). Thanks for being there.
Good rounds this
week were:
Front – Lee Crouch – 37, Kevin
(Greenie) Bachmann - 38.
Back
– Steve Ruehl - 38.
Match of the Weak:
Team
match would definitely be the match between Defending Champs Team Bramlage and
Team Kiffmeyer. Team Kiffmeyer wins
match with 3 players over average and one player .9 under average. As Team Bramlage all shot more over their
average.
Individual
match would be Team Captains Tom Schumacher versus Charlie Patmann. Charlie gets 7 from Tom, shoots a 54 (4.7
over his average) but takes the match from Col. Schu shooting a 47 (5.2 over
his average).
Sandbaggers of the Weak: (5.0
greater or less):
Most Under
Average:
Patrick
Buescher shoots 40 (6.7 under average), Lee Crouch shoots 37 (6.7 under
average).
Most Over
Average:
Brian
Kelly shoots 60 (10.0 over average), Greg Arkle shoots 52 (9.1 over average),
Farlon (Toyota) Smith shoots 52 (7.0 over average), Gene Pfeiffer shoots 58
(5.9 over average), John Freeman shoots 54 (5.9 over average), Ron Michael
shoots 54 (5.7 over average), Steve Duddey shoots 48 (5.6 over average),
President Tom (Col) Schumacher shoots 47 (5.2 over average), Tim Andrew shoots
50 (5.0 over average.
Status of the
Almighty Fork:
Week 6 - Team Schumacher.
Week 9 – Team Freeman, Team Patmann,
Team Breen.
On
notice after their performance in the position round is
Team Buescher and Team Bramlage.
Position Round
Prediction/Results:
Division
A:
·
Team Bramlage
vs. Team Kiffmeyer: I predict Team
Kiffmeyer will finally take the lead from Defending Champs Team Bramlage and we
will see Mr. Ed Kiffmeyer dancing on the clubhouse tables as Mr. Ackerman,
Warren, & Gindele sing.
o I was mostly
right on this as Team Kiffmeyer took the lead away from Team Bramlage, but Mr.
Kiffmeyer couldn’t dance on the table (didn’t want to mess up his new hip).
·
Team Schumacher
vs. Team Patmann: I predict Team Patmann
as the winner as Mr. Bill (complaint committee) Zachritz returns and drives the
League President crazy on the course and the informant goes silent.
o The only thing I
got right on this was Mr. Zachritz driving the League President Col. Schu
crazy. Team Schumacher did bring in two
subs (informant was missing) to take down Team Patmann.
Division
B:
·
Team Pfeiffer
vs. Team Kientz: my prediction is that
Team Pfeiffer will continue to expand their lead (and get the recap correct)
and send Team Kientz to the division cellar.
o I missed the
call on this except the recap was correct.
Team Pfeiffer brought in ringer Mary Jo Leirey but Team Kientz took a
big win and narrowed the gap for the lead.
At the same time Mr. Cecil Begley put his name in the hat for 2018
(always read the fine print).
·
Team
Flynn vs. Team Buescher should be a split as they both move up a position as
Team Kientz moves down.
o Team Buescher brought in some help (Brian
Kelly) but to no avail and to my surprise Team Flynn took a big win but still
tagging behind Team Kientz.
Division
C:
·
Team Harms vs.
Team Anderson (the shirts): I see Team
Harms taking a big win as Mr. Mike Sullivan starts another win streak and Team
Anderson gets their shirts mixed up and drop to 3rd place and out of
seeding.
o Well the part
about the shirts was right, the rest surprised me. Mike Sullivan shot under his average again
but couldn’t pull out a win. Team
Anderson with their shirts all mixed up must have confused Team Harms as Team
Anderson takes a big win and moves back up to #1 Seed.
·
Team Vaughn vs.
Team Freeman: should see Team Vaughn
making sure that Team Freeman keeps their place on the
upside down list and Team Vaughn takes over 2nd place and 6th
seed.
o How did I get
this wrong.
Team Freeman took Team Vaughn down severely and Team Freeman moves out
of their position at the top of the upside down list, and Team Vaughn not
moving into a seeded position.
Division
D:
·
Team Leirey vs.
Team Halpin: I am sort of partial on
this but with Jimmy Smith and Rafael Gonzalez back my prediction is Team Halpin
destroys Team Leirey (sorry Frank) and takes the division lead back.
o Wow, got this
really wrong. I was right about Jimmy
Smith & Rafael Gonzalez back (both took wins and remain
on top of the win/loss and points listings).
Little did I know that Team Leirey brought out their best and the other
half of my team collapsed.
·
Team Slye vs.
Team Breen: I will call a split here as
Mr. Skin Slye and Mr. Greenie Bachmann both shoot 53 instead of 35 and the Mr.
Breen’s both shoot 35 instead of 53.
o Not the match I
thought as Team Slye tried to take Team Breen down with only 3 players. Lee Crouch shot 37 to pretty much ensure a win
for Team Breen.
Division
Standings:
o
Division
A has Team Kiffmeyer taking the lead and the #3 Seed. Defending Champs Team Bramlage falls to
second and 17.5 points out. Team
Schumacher with another big win is only 42.5 points out of the lead. Team Patmann brings in 4th and in
a commanding lead on the upside down list.
o
Division
B has Team Pfeiffer still in the lead but dropping to #4 Seed. Team Kientz with a nice win is only 23 points
out of the lead. Team Flynn still holds
3rd and only 32.5 points out.
Team Buescher is still falling out (dropped a half point) and are now 73
points out of the lead.
o
Division

and the #5 Seed (61.5 points out). Team
Vaughn brings in 3rd and lost some ground but 28 points out from a seeding. Team Freeman brings in 4th and has
secured their placing in the Scramble.
o
Division

#6 Seed only 24.5 points out of the lead. Team Slye brings in 3rd but losing
ground (78.5 points out of the lead). Team Breen comes in 4th and is

Question for the Weak/Thoughts to
Ponder:
·
If cats and dogs didn't have fur
would we still pet them?
·
If peanut butter cookies are made
from peanut butter, then what are Girl Scout cookies
made out of?
·
If space is a vacuum, who changes
the bags?
·
If swimming is good for your shape,
then why do the whales look the way they do?
·
If tin whistles are made out of tin,
what do they make fog horns out of?
·
If white wine goes with fish, do
white grapes go with sushi?
·
If you jog backwards, will you gain
weight?
·
If you take an Oriental person and
spin him around several times, does he become disoriented?
·
Why do the signs that say "Slow
Children" have a picture of a running child?
·
Why do they call it
"chili" if it's hot?
