Week 13 - July 21, 2021

 

Treasurer Notes:

“First, thank you very much to the league members for all their kind words, expressions of sympathy, and donations for the tree planted in memory of Elmer.  I can't adequately express how your actions have helped me.  Once again, thank you very much.”

“Second, everyone is current in their league dues.  Thank you very much.”

IRS Golf League Treasurer

 

Recap sheets are getting a lot better this week.  Only a few errors mostly with which holes get handicap strokes.  So here goes with another reminder that if white tee is giving strokes to yellow tee then use the gold handicap holes, if yellow tee giving to yellow tee then use the gold handicap holes, if yellow tee is giving to white tee then use the black handicap holes, and if white tee is giving to white tee then use the black handicap holes. 

Also, one recap for back nine was completed on the front nine recap, so be careful on which recap you complete. 

And then the Team Average page was taken and not put back with the briefcase while there were teams still needing it.

 

Subs this week were:  Greg Arkle (for Team Harms); Mike Schwarberg (for Team Kientz); Jeff Barnhorst (for Team Anderson); Quintin Suggs (for Team Pfeiffer); Steve Ruehl (for Team Breen); Dave Vincent (for Team Breen); Dave Bodde (for Team Leirey); Brad Ferguson (for Team Buescher); and Don Bazsika (for Team Bachmann)   Thanks for being there.

 

There seems to be questions on whether to play out of the sand traps.  From what I saw at the course there is good sand in the traps and rakes are available, making the traps playable.   Here is what is in our league rules.

 Article XX.  Course Rules:  …..  In a sand trap, the ball may be taken out of footprints, standing water, etc., and placed on a flat surface (it is allowable to rake a spot in the trap to place the ball); however, it cannot be moved out of the trap.  (See Article XXI and XXIII for additional points of information on free drops vs. stroke penalties.

 

Seeding Watch:

Here in the final weeks, I will give updates on Seeding for the play-offs.

·        Team Vaughn (C Division) moves into the #1 Seed position.

·        Team Kientz (A Division) moved into the #2 Seed position.

·        Team Zachritz (B Division) dropped to the #3 Seed position.

·        Team Halpin (D Division) holds onto the #4 Seed position.

·        Team Bachmann (C Division) holds the #5 Seed position.

·        Team Leirey (B Division) holds the #6 Seed position.

 

All Seed positions are close in points so I suspect their will be many changes.
