IRS Wednesday Golf League Newsletter

Week 14 – July 29, 2015

Rain/Lightning delay…., play…., rain/lightning delay…., play….  Last teams finished as it was getting dark.  You got to love the game of golf. 

A Division still has Team Buescher in the lead and holding on to #3 Seed.   Team Zachritz was gifted 85 points this week and moved up in division and into #6 seed.  Team Anderson (defending league champs) took a whooping and dropped out of seeding, but not by much.  Team Kiffmeyer lost ground this week and doesn’t have much time left.

B Division has Team Donlin still sitting comfortably in the lead and the #4 Seed.  Team Pfeiffer lost ground again.  Team Freeman moved up with Team Bramlage moving to the bottom.

C Division has Team Leirey in the lead but dropping to #2 seed.  Team Schumacher had a big win and moved into the #5 seed.  Team Patmann had a good win and is within striking distance of a wild card spot.  Team Harms holds the bottom here but still has a chance but not much time remains.

D Division has Team Flynn winning big and moving up to #1 seed by half a point.  Team Kientz with a big win is only 3 points away from a wild card spot.  Team Halpin with another big loss saw their season pass them by.  Team Breen at the bottom can only be a spoiler at this point.

Current seeding (with 4 weeks left, all inner division):

#1 Seed – Team Flynn, #2 Seed – Team Leirey, #3 Seed – Team Buescher, #4 Seed Team Donlin, #5 Seed – Team Schumacher, #6 Seed – Team Zachritz.

This past week we had 5 subs.  Subs this week were Carol Goldstone, Larry Oliver, Dave Randle, Will Freeman, and Dave Vincent.

 Good rounds this week were:  Front – Don Potter – 37 and Larry Oliver 37.  Back – Dave Randle – 37 and Will Freeman – 39.

Most under average at 5+ under average:  Carol Goldstone shoots 44 (5.3 under average), Rick Taylor shoots 46 (6.4 under average), Tom Nienaber shoots 42 (5.1 under average), Will Freeman shoots 39 (5.2 under average), Cecil Begley shoots 40 (5.0 under average), and Erich Kientz shoots 42 (6.7 under average).

There were 12 Birdies this week, 6 on the front and 6 on the back.   

Gift match this week is the match between Team Buescher and Team Halpin.  Team Halpin falls under extreme pressure to Team Buescher.  Both captains went head to head on this match with Mr. Don Buescher being victorious.  After this match the secretary was under influence from Team Captain Halpin to not fork anyone.  So well, okay, why not, so I will do it, Team Halpin is hereby forked (at least not the pitchfork like Team #5).  There, I went and did it, ouch.

League Outing will be on September 11.  Get the word out to your subs/guest so we can get a count on how many will be playing and having dinner.  Cost this year will be:

Regulars – Golf Only – $55

Regulars – Golf and Dinner – $70

Subs/Guest – Golf Only – $65

Subs/Guest – Golf and Dinner – $80

 

League Scramble will on September 2.  I am told that Jim Westcott will be getting the format out on this in the near future.

 

And this coming from President Tom Schumacher (third installment):

 

Was hoping to get the next 10 states but Mr. Schu did not get them to me.  We should have them by next week.  Probably Mr. Schu can’t find anything for Ohio.

Skins—Greenies—Long Putt                                         

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 ($5.00 for all).  Place a check mark for each category for which you are participating.  If the Briefcase is not out notate on your scorecard your intent to play and pay when you complete your match.  First teams out please take the markers, last teams in please bring markers in.
