IRS Golf League Newsletter – July 24, 2013

This past week we finally had some beautiful weather.  Forgot what it was like golfing with no rain or storms.

Team Anderson is planning and putting together the information for the Outing this year.  The fall outing will be held at AJ Jolly Golf Course as in years past. The date is Friday, Sept. 6, with a shotgun start at 10 a.m. Power carts will be included in the cost of the outing, as well as sandwiches at the turn and beverages on the course. Catering will be provided once again by McHale's, with the usual menu or equivalent.  Games and events for the outing will be announced at a later time.

Please e-mail me (halpinc@aol.com) which of your regulars/restricted subs will be playing "golf only" or if they will be doing "golf & dinner."  Also, if you know of any subs or guests that are interested in playing, please include the same response for them as well or have them contact me.  If they don't know if they will be staying for dinner, just give us their names/e-mail address and we will contact them.

I received this following story on facebook and had to share it.  Names were changed to protect the innocence of some.

Ed decided to go play a game of golf with his good friends Theodore and Larry one morning.  He promised Marie that he would be home in time for lunch. Well, lunchtime came and went, and no Ed.  Mid afternoon came and went, still no Ed.  Suppertime passed, and Ed finally shows up about an hour later.  Marie is, of course, just a little bit mad.

"Ed, where in the world you been?  You say you going to be home by lunch, and here it is dark time, and you just now getting home!"

Ed says, "Marie, don't get on my case.  My good friend, Theodore, died on the golf course this morning."

Marie says, "Oh Ed, I'm so sorry.  I can understand now . . . making funeral arrangements for your friend, and all.  I understand now why you are so late."

Ed says, "Funeral arrangements?  What funeral arrangements?  It was - hit the ball, drag Theodore - hit the ball, drag Theodore . . . it took me and Larry all day to finish the game!"

With the inner division play the competition was heating up this week. 

Division A still has Team Zachritz in the lead but followed closely by Team Flynn.  Team Leirey (*) and Team Kiffmeyer (*) are not that far back (61 points separating 1st and last).

Division B has Team Breen in the lead by only 2 points over Team Kientz (*), with Team Anderson (*) dropping to 35 points out, and Team Harms (*) holding the bottom over 100 points out.

Division C has become pretty tight with Team Bramlage in the lead, followed closely by Team Donlin, Team Patmann, and Team Bunkelman (*)  (53 points separate 1st and last place).

Division D has Team C. Halpin still in the lead but only by 2 points over Team Pfeiffer, and then followed by Team Freeman only 44.5 points out.  Team Schumacher (*) holds the bottom 94 points out.

 

*Seems like I have been catching some hell about forking some teams, possible too early.  Well, from the results this past week I am reminded about several years ago when my team was forked and went on to the playoffs and beating the forker.  It seems like maybe Team Schumacher had it out for us this past week and extracted some revenge.   So not too much twisting of the fork in Schumacher is in order, however the fork remains.  Looks like the fork has helped to motivate some into proving the forker wrong.  With that said it is time to give the fork to Team Anderson after they past Team Kientz in moving down the leader board.  Also, Team Kiffmeyer receives the fork for making it to the bottom of A Division.  I didn’t really think they could do it, but they did.  Team Patmann saved themselves from the fork again.  They had a good performance this week but still remain on thin ice.

Summary of the Forked:

May:  Team Schumacher.

June:  Team Harms.

July:  Team Bunkelman, Team Leirey, Team Kientz, Team Kiffmeyer, Team Anderson.
