IRS Wednesday Golf League Newsletter

Week 13 – July 19, 2017

 

Luckily everyone made it to the course this week, as those coming from Kentucky had to deal with an accident on I-275.  Word had it that one team switched their tee time earlier so another team had time to get all the players to the course.  Thank You to Team Anderson and Team Kientz.

Treasurer Chuck Reckers reports that there is only one outstanding on league fees.  Please remember to bring next week.  Chuck thanks those that are paid in full.   Chuck and the Outing Committee (Team Anderson) are currently working on the Outing cost and will have that out in the near future.   Outing is scheduled for September 8.

League Scramble is scheduled for August 30 (this is a paid week).  Scramble committee is Frank Leirey/Tom Schumacher, Jim Bramlage, John Freeman.  League President Tom Schumacher is working on the format and will have that out in the near future.

This week we had 4 subs:  Kelly Johnson (for Team Schumacher), Mary Jo Leirey (for Team Pfeiffer), Carl Jahnke (for Team Kientz), and Ken Holloway (for Team Flynn).  Thanks for being there.

Good rounds this week were: 

Front – Mark Slye – 35, Bill Zachritz – 37, Clyde Barnes – 38, Kelly Johnson - 39.

Back – Ray Vaughn - 39.

 

Match of the Weak:

Defending Champs Team Bramlage makes it again this week.  All I have to say on this is Fish out of water does not drown on dry land (League President prediction) as Team Halpin gets clobbered.

 

Sandbaggers of the Weak: (5.0 greater or less):

 

Most Under Average:

Sherrill Swann shoots 56 (8.2 under average), Kelly Johnson shoots 39 (6.0 under average), Wayne Witt shoots 43 (5.6 under average), Dick Warren shoots 41 (5.2 under average).

  

Most Over Average:

Patrick Buescher shoots 54 (6.5 over average), Lori Johnson shoots 58 (6.2 over average), Eric Fredrickson shoots 51 (5.7 over average), Melody Oswalt shoots 55 (5.5 over average), Tim Feldman shoots 55 (5.3 over average).

 

Status of the Almighty Fork:

This week receiving the Fork as I ‘thinks’ they deserve it is Team Buescher.   On notice is Team Flynn and Team Slye.

 

Week 6 - Team Schumacher. 

Week 9 – Team Freeman, Team Patmann, Team Breen.

Week 13 – Team Buescher.

 

Division Standings:

o   Division A has Team Kiffmeyer still holding the lead and the #3 Seed.  Defending Champs Team Bramlage trails behind and is now only 8.5 points out.  Team Schumacher with another win is only 36.5 points out of the lead and trying to prove the secretary wrong on the Fork.  Team Patmann brings in 4th and still commands the lead on the upside down list. 

o   Division B has Team Pfeiffer still in the lead and #4 Seed.  Team Kientz comes in second and catching up with only 3.5 points out of the lead.  Team Flynn still holds 3rd and is 46.5 points out.  Team Buescher keeps falling out (dropped 3.5 more points) and are now 76.5 points out of the lead and Forked. 

o   Division C has Team Anderson (The Shirts) holding their lead and the #1 Seed.   Team Harms (#5 Seed) trails behind and is only 42 points out.  Team Vaughn brings in 3rd and took the #6 Seed with their sights on division lead (only 78 points out).  Team Freeman brings in 4th and is working hard on being the spoiler.

o   Division D has Team Leirey still holding their lead and the #2 seed.  Team Halpin in 2nd place lost the seeding is now 27.5 points out of the lead (7 points out of seeding).  Team Slye brings in 3rd and is hanging back at 72.5 points out of the lead.   Team Breen comes in 4th and is slowly seeing their place in the Scramble.

Heard in the Clubhouse:

From Mrs. Informant, “Mr. Informant would be lost without me.” 

To “Wonders never cease” - Thank You.

Col. Schu is looking for golf instructions,  Mike Sullivan nominated to instruct the Col.

 

Question for the Weak/Thoughts to Ponder:

·        If a person owns a piece of land, do they own it all the way down to the center of the earth?

·         Why can't woman put their mascara on with their mouth closed?

·         Why is it called alcoholics anonymous when the first thing you do is stand up and say "hi, my name's Brian. I'm an alcoholic"?

·         If you mated a Bulldog with a Shitsu would you get a Bullshit?

·        Why is there a light in the fridge but not in the freezer?

·        Why do toasters always have a setting on them which burns your toast to a horrible crisp no one would eat?

·         Who was the first person to look at a cow and say "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here and drink what comes out"?

·         If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?

·        Why does Goofy stand on two legs when Pluto remains on four? They're both dogs.

·        What do you call male ballerinas?

·        If Wile E coyote has enough money to by all that Acme crap why doesn't he buy his dinner?

·         If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

·         If a man is walking in a forest and no woman is there to hear him is he still wrong?

·         Did you ever notice that if you blow in a dogs face it goes mad, yet when you take him on a car ride he sticks his head straight out the window?

Absolutely no news:.....Complaint Chairman Bill (no skins) Zachritz looses out on long putt and greenies again and again.  Keep kindly donating as you and Mr. Schwarberg might win one of these days.  Breaking News:  Cecil Begley’s name was removed from nomination for secretary for 2018 as Mr. Ed Kiffmeyer receives an overwhelming nomination for secretary & president for 2018 (I am sure this will go unopposed by some).  Jay Ackerman throws his name in the kitty for league treasurer 2018.  This newsletter may or may not have no errors, some errors, or many errors, Hopefully some may not be incriminated or maybe hopefully none hurt feelings.  Read at your own risk, especially this line as you may suffer severe eye strain… or loss of motion from falling over laughing………..
