IRS Wednesday Golf League Newsletter

Week  12 – July 10, 2024

Week 12 complete and we were lucky to miss any rain outs.  Let’s hope this continues for the rest of the season.

The subs playing this week:  Bill Scott (Team Halpin/Scott), Joe Bramlage (Team Bramlage), Tom Schumacher (Team Ellsworth), Bob Norris and Don Bazsika (Team Bachmann), Dave Martin (Team Flynn), Sherrill Swann and Scott Dorstin (Team Bill Anderson).

This week Team Ellsworth played vs the vacant team.  Being position round they compared scores against 2nd place team in D Division and did well.  Next week Team Crouch will compare scores vs either team 4, 8, or 12.

Heard Around, Happened Around, or Just Plain Made Up Info from Around the Clubhouse: The League secretary disavows any knowledge of erroneous or false information in this section of the newsletter.

-        Joe Bramlage wanting his score card to frame after shooting a 37, his lowest round ever.

-        Sticking with the Bramlage’s: Jim Bramlage wearing pink shorts or was that his wife’s pink skorts, I think that is what I heard.  Maybe he should remember which dresser drawer is his.

-        Super Sandbagger Dennis Breen finally finding his swing/game and shooting 15.4 under his average.

-        Most honest player:  Don Buescher the day after round informs secretary to add a stroke on hole #3 that he forgot to count.  Cost him half a point.

-        Dale (Eagle) Goodwin having no Eagle this week and shooting way over his average.  Must be prepping for the next Eagle.

Position Round Results

League Secretary was the only one to pick all 8 winners of the position round and receives 2 dozen top brand name new golf balls.

In A Division Team Vaughn took the lead dropping Team Bachmann down to second and out of Seeding.  The defending League Champs Team Flynn falls to 4th place as they were defeated by Team Crouch.

In B Division Team Buescher remains in 1st and #3 Seed as they defeated Team Broadus who dropped to 3rd place.  Team Brian Anderson moved up to 2nd even after being defeated by Team Halpin/Scott.

In C Division Team Kientz moved into 1st place and #1 Seed after defeating Team Kiffmeyer who remains in 2nd place and #5 Seed.  Team Harms remains in 3rd place as Team Bill Anderson brings in 4th place.

In Division D Team Zachritz remains in 1st place but dropped to #2 Seed after Team Bramlage defeated them.  Team Ellsworth remains at the bottom although they compared scores and took a win.  The Vacant Team looks as if it may not make the playoffs.   

Status of the Almighty Fork:

The Warning went out and it seemed to delay the Fork to several teams but brought the Fork to others.  Team Brian Anderson was defeated by the worst team (Team Halpin/Scott) so Team Brian Anderson is hereby Forked.  Defending League Champs Team Flynn after dropping to 4th in their Division is hereby Forked.  The ‘Fork’ is extra sharpened and ready for next week.  On the warning list is Team Halpin/Scott, Team Ellsworth, Team Bill Anderson, and Team Zachritz.  The Fork is totally discretionary at the secretary’s whims and looking at possibility of teams making the playoffs.  

Forked Teams:

Team Brian Anderson – Week 12

Team Flynn – Week 12
