IRS Wednesday Golf League Newsletter

Week 13 – July 19, 2023

 

Team Vaughn is still unstoppable, and they are now at thirteen straight wins (I think this is a League record).  With 5 weeks left their opponents remaining are Team Broadus, Team Brian Anderson, Team Snowden, Vacant Team, then position round.  Bob Norris will give the team that beats Team Vaughn two dozen experienced golf balls, and the League Secretary thoughts are Bob Norris will still be trying to give those balls away next year.

Reminder to be on the tee box ahead of tee time and be ready to play.  We had an incident where a team was waiting on their players and the teams were delaying the tee time past set time.  This is unacceptable as this delays our league and the leagues after us.  If players are not on the tee box at tee time, play must start without that player.  According to our League Rules the absent/tardy player can catch up on the course but forfeits individual medal and 4 team medal points.  Best to arrive at the course early and be ready to play at your tee time.

SEEDING:

A Division has Team Broadus moving up to 1st place and #4 Seed.   Team Kientz moved up to 2nd place as Team Crouch dropped to 3rd.  Team Zachritz (Forked) finally getting a win remained in 4th and will remain there the rest of the season.  Mr. Bill thanks for the beer, I posted you with a win.

B Division has Team Flynn remaining in the lead and is #2 Seed.  Team Harms comes in 2nd and #5 Seed with Team Buescher in 3rd and #6 Seed.  Team Halpin brings in 4th and is Forked (I cant believe I did that to my team).

C Division had no changes to positions as Team Bachmann remains in the lead and #3 Seed, followed by Team Bramlage in 2nd and Team Kiffmeyer in 3rd.  Team Bill Anderson comes in 4th and is finished (Forked) for the season.

D Division has the unbeatable Team Vaughn in the lead and #1 Seed.  Team Brian Anderson in 2nd, and Team Snowden (Forked) in 3rd place.

Seeding summary:

#1 Seed – Team Vaughn

#2 Seed – Team Flynn

#3 Seed – Team Bachmann

#4 Seed – Team Broadus

#5 Seed – Team Harms

#6 Seed – Team Buescher

 

Continuing reminder on the schedule containing two tee times for the teams versus the Vacant team.  All tee times following Team 12 on the regular schedule will be moved up one time earlier.  This will be posted on the website each week on the newsletter tab for the following week and will also be sent via e-mail.

This past week we had 10 subs playing:  

Restricted sub:  Tom Berns (Team Vaughn), and Dave Martin (Team Flynn).

Team Kientz played versus the Vacant Team 12 this week.  They pulled Team 4 out of the hat and scored well.  For July 26th Team Zachritz plays versus the vacant team.  See League Secretary to pull your opponent out of the hat (Team 4, 8, 16).

In golf how many lies do you have?

See the Team Average sheet for who is in what games.  Subs playing for someone in the games: payouts will have the regular and sub name on envelopes.  For winners, please collect your payouts either prior to or after the match each week.  1st teams out take out the markers, last teams in bring in the markers.

Last Comment (fine print):  The Clubhouse remains safe to enter before & after your matches, plenty of refreshments, jokes, laughter, BS, and you never know who is buying the drinks. Mr. Bill – CLDG FPOG WH LIMLVF QOBJD VHPO HELIWBJG.  Key to solving is on the next page.
