IRS Wednesday Golf League Newsletter
July 16, 2014
It was perfect weather for golf this week. Lot of good rounds and some okay rounds.
Treasurer Chuck Reckers reports that all players are paid up for the
year. Chuck says thanks to all.
There were no changes to division leaders this week. Team Zachritz maintained a slim lead in A
Division with Team Donlin and Team C.Halpin closing in on them. Team Kiffmeyer stayed in the lead in B
Division with Team Freeman & Team Schumacher moving up a little. Team Bramlage increased their lead in C
Division and took over league leading points.
Team Anderson (purple shirts) held their lead in D Division after
suffering a big loss and has Team Leirey closing in on them.
Current Leaders:
A Division – Team Zachritz (3rd seed)
B Division – Team Kiffmeyer (4th seed)
C Division – Team Bramlage (1st seed)
D Division – Team Anderson (2nd seed)
Current Wildcards – Team Donlin (5th seed) & Team Leirey
(6th seed)
Status of the Fork: Team
Schumacher (with one no-show) did manage to pull out a big win and move up one
notch in their Division, but they remain Forked. Team Freeman also pulled out a big win and
closed in on Team Kiffmeyer with Team Breen falling to the bottom of B
Division. Seems like
it is fitting to Fork Team Breen this week, with Team Kiffmeyer closing in on
the Fork as soon as next week. Team
Harms again saved themselves from the fork with a good
win, however Team Pfeiffer stumbled to the bottom of D Division and could get
the Fork next week. Team Kientz, well,
what can I say, the Fork got them last week.
Team Patmann still firmly holds the top of the upside down list.
Summary of Teams Forked: Team
Schumacher (week 8), Team Patmann (week 10), Team Kientz (week 12), Team Breen (week 13).
Question I had at the clubhouse this week was: Why did Mr. Kiffmeyer not cook his
goose? Some more questions: Was it goose hunting season in Michigan? And:
Do you need a license to hunt a goose if only using a golf club and
ball? Seems like Mr.
Kiffmeyer got a bird (not birdie) on his second shot on a hole up in Michigan. Hit the goose in the neck, but Ed would not
have duck for dinner. Last question
is: How did you mark that on the score
card?
There were 4 subs this week. Subs
were John Lloyd, John Kaufhold, Jeff Witt, and Dave Vincent. Thanks for being there.
"Thoughts
of the Weak" (from League President Thomas G. Schumacher)
What can you find in Manila that you can't find in Tokyo???
I received one correct answer to this.
Correct answer is ANIMAL (rearrange the letters in Manila,
you cannot do that with Tokyo). Correct
answer was submitted by Jay Ackerman.
Since Jay got this right his name will be submitted for candidate for
League President.
Words of WisDumb from Mr. Feldman:
Basic facts ….
It's
not whether you win or lose, but how you place the blame.
We
have enough "youth". How about a fountain of "smart"?
The
original point and click interface was a Smith & Wesson.
A
Fool and his money can throw one heck of a party.
When
blondes have more fun, do they know it?
Money
isn't everything, but it sure keeps the kids in touch.
If
at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
We
are born naked, wet and hungry. Then
things get worse.
The
Red meat is not bad for you. Fuzzy green
meat is bad for you.
Ninety-nine
percent of all lawyers give the rest a bad name.
Xerox
and Wurlitzer will merge to make reproductive organs.
ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE IS NO MATCH FOR NATURAL STUPIDITY.
The
latest survey shows that three out of four people make up 75% of the
population.
The
reason Politicians try so hard to get re-elected is that they would 'hate' to
have to make a living under the laws they've passed.

The pot was short on cash this past
week. Please make sure you put in the
correct amount for what games you are playing and mark off the correct blocks

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.
$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

teams please bring markers in.
