IRS Wednesday Golf League Newsletter
Week 14 – July
27, 2016
Another hot day on the course. Not that many good rounds this week and not
too many Birdies. Must have been the
heat. For anyone thinking of moving to
Florida, report from Larry Bunkelman is it was 110 degrees down there. So we had cool weather this week.
California Golf Course is still
taking sign-ups for their 2016 League Championship on August 21st
at 1:30 p.m. The format will be a 4 Person Scramble and the cost will be
$200 per Team ($50/Player). Price includes Golf and Cart, Dinner, and beverages. Please sign up the golf shop. This can be any 4
players from the league making up a team.
This week we had 16 subs: Dan Varndell & Mike Schwarberg (Team
Kientz), Greg Arkle & Shari Anderson (Team Harms), Larry Oliver (Team
Kiffmeyer), Carol Goldstone (Team Freeman), Bob Kendrach (Team Buescher), Steve
Ruehl (Team Bramlage), Ray Woods (Team Patmann), Bonnie Harrison, Terry Buelow
& Melody Oswalt (Team Leirey), Dave
Vincent (Team Breen), Chet Wiggins & Dave Martin (Team Flynn), and John
Kaufhold (Team Pfeiffer).
Good rounds this week:
Front
9 – Larry Oliver – 38, Greg Arkle – 39; Back 9 – Ray Vaughn - 37.
Most Under Average (Sandbagger
Award):
Dave Gindele (7.9 under average), Chuck Reckers (6.2 under average),
Carol Goldstone (5.2 under average), Mike Sullivan (5.0 under average).
Most Over Average (Hope to be a Sandbagger Some Day Award): Sherrill Swann
(13.8 over average), Greg Linfert (9.0 over average), George Baker (8.3 over
average), Eddie Gregory (5.8 over average), Chet Wiggins (5.5 over average),
and I didn’t want my name on here so I was only 4.9 over average.
Gift match of the weak: Bill
Zachritz verses Charlie Halpin: Charlie managed to out drive Bill on a couple
of holes (believe it or not) except when Bill was in the other fairways. Charlie could not hit the greens after that
and could not putt, but managed to outright beat Bill on 1 hole, beat him with
a stroke on another, and tie 2 holes.
Bill walked away with a big win crushing Team Halpin. My comment on this is I have nothing nice to
say about Bill except he is doing a wonderful job on taking complaints.
Division Rankings
A Division – Defending Champs Team
Schumacher (moved up to 2nd seed) after suffering a mild loss and still holds onto the lead in division. Team Leirey still holds onto 2nd
place and picked up a couple of points on the lead. Team Flynn moved back up to 3rd
after a mild win. Team Donlin fell to 4th
and are positioning themselves for the Scramble. There was a request from one of Team Donlin’s
players to Fork them. The secretary does
not Fork a team because they request it.
The Fork is the secretaries bias/prejudice decision. With that said Team Donlin is hereby Forked.
B Division - Team Halpin (fell to 3rd
seed) holds 1st place after suffering a humiliating loss. Team Kiffmeyer with a good win is moving
closer but still has a long way to go. Team
Buescher still holds 3rd and has finally earned the Fork. Team Harms comes in 4th and hope
to enjoy the Scramble.
C Division - Team Zachritz (1st
seed) still holds the lead for division and league and broke the 800 point
barrier. Team Kientz (5th
seed) with a win still lost ground on 1st place. Team Bramlage (6th seed) with a win
lost a little ground but is calculating holding a seed position. Team Freeman brings in 4th is
another team hoping to enjoy the Scramble.
D Division – Team Patmann (4th
seed) suffered another loss but still holds their division lead. Team Anderson (the unmatched shirts) picked
up another win and are moving closer to the lead. Team Breen is hanging back and are still
within reach of division title. Team
Pfeiffer still holds firm to the top of the upside down list.
Seeding: (1) Team Zachritz, (2) Team Schumacher, (3)
Team Halpin, (4) Team Patmann, (5) Team Kientz, (6) Team Bramlage. With only 4 weeks of play before the
play-offs, all inner division, the competition is heating up with no top division
positions safe at this time.
Status
of the almighty Fork: Team Anderson –
week 5; Team Pfeiffer – week 7; Team Freeman – week 9; Team Flynn – week 13;
Team Harms – week 13: Team Donlin – week 14; Team Buescher – week 14. Close to receiving the Fork: Team Kiffmeyer &
Team Breen.
Heard around the
clubhouse:
Heard from Team Anderson something
about failed leadership and a late run for division lead. Also, Team Anderson recruited me to play with
them in the Course Championship on August 21.
Wow I feel privileged.
Then there was talk that Team
Kientz was not in it for the league title but only playing for the
skins/greenie money. Maybe that is what
Team Donlin is doing too, as evidenced by this week’s money winners.
Our
informant (Chris Kerns) was saying something about ESPN being at the match next
week between Team Zachritz and Team Kientz (the battle for Division lead). Just hope our league photographer gets good
pictures of Mr. Bill Z. hitting the trees.
Not
for sure what Jim Hill’s problem was but it had something to do with his shaft
going one way and his balls going in a different direction. I thinks he needs therapy.
Words of Whizdumb from Mr. Feldman:
Nine Important Facts To Remember As We Grow Older
·
#9 - Death is the number 1 killer in the world.
·
#8 - Life is sexually transmitted.
·
#7 - Good health is merely the slowest possible
rate at which one can die.
·
#6 - Men have 2 motivations: hunger and hanky
panky, and they can't tell them apart. If you see a gleam in his eyes,
make him a sandwich.
·
#5 - Give a person a fish and you feed them for a
day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for
weeks, months, maybe years.
·
#4 - Health nuts are going to feel stupid
someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.
·
#3 - All of us could take a lesson from the
weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
·
#2 - In the 60's, people took acid to make the
world weird. Now the world is weird, and
people take Prozac to make it normal.
·
#1 - Life is like a jar of jalapeno
peppers. What you do today may be a burning issue tomorrow.
