IRS Wednesday Golf
League Newsletter
Week
14 – July 24, 2019
I will start this off with saying we made
it to week 14 before the Skins/Greenie/Long Putt money was shorted. Total short was $1.15. Looks like not enough quarters were put in
since there was $3.85 in quarters & nickels change in the pot.
I want to thank Mark Halpin for taking
care of the secretary duties this Wednesday.
Another job well done.
This past week we had 8 subs: Mark Anderson (Team Anderson), Dave Vincent
(Team Schumacher), Brad Ferguson (Team Buescher), Carol Goldstone (Team
Patmann), Mike Schwarberg (Team Kientz), Rick McErlane (Team Bramlage), Kirt
Mowery (Team Halpin), and Don Bazsika (Team Bachmann). Thanks for being there.

Division Standings:
A Division: Defending
League Champions Team Bachmann (Slye) took 1st place away from Team
Bramlage. Team Bachmann moves into the #1
Seed as Team Bramlage falls to #6 seed (10 points out of lead). Team Breen picked up a little ground and only
51 points out (41 points out of wild card).
Team Halpin picked up a little also and is now only 95 points out (85
points out of wild card).
Division B: Team Flynn (#2 Seed) is still barely holding the
lead by 5.5 points over Team Schumacher which moved into #5 Seed. Team Vaughn lost a little ground and is now
65.5 points out of the lead and 60 points out of wild card. Team Patmann still holds 2nd from
the top of the upside down list and can be a spoiler to the other division
teams.
Division C: Team Buescher (#3 seed) increased their lead
in division with Team Kientz now 30.5 points out (37.5 out of wild card). Team Anderson (the shirts) brings in 3rd
but 38.5 points out of 1st (45 points out of wild card). Team Freeman bringing in 4th fell
to 143.5 points from 1st place and needs a lot of big wins or be a
spoiler to their division teams.
Division D: Team Kiffmeyer (#4 Seed) is still in the lead
but lost more ground again as Team Harms moved within 15 points. Team Leirey lost a little ground and is now
36 points out. Team Pfeiffer won their 1st
match this season and looks to destroy the other teams in the division.
With 4 weeks left the start of inner
division play begins next week and the race for a seeded position is on. Foreseen is a lot of changes to the lead
positions and seeding with only 360 points available. The league secretary for the next two weeks
will be taking predictions on who the six seeded teams will be for the playoffs. Submit your predictions by August 7. Get all six teams correct and win two strings
of experienced golf balls. Get all six
teams and seeded position correct for 1 dozen experienced golf balls.
Current seeding is:
#1 Seed – Team Bachmann (A Division)
#2 Seed – Team Flynn (B Division)
#3 Seed – Team Buescher (C Division)
#4 Seed – Team Kiffmeyer (D Division)
#5 Seed – Team Schumacher (B Division)
#6 Seed – Team Bramlage (A Division)
Status
of the Almighty Fork:
No one Forked this week. With inner division play starting next week the
Fork is sharpened and ready.
Forked Week 7: Team Leirey and Team Pfeiffer. Forked
Week 8: Team Anderson.
Forked Week
9: Team Patmann. Forked Week 10: Team Harms
Forked Week 11:
Team Kiffmeyer
Missed Shot of the Day:
League secretary did well this past week
as I did not lose a single ball and had no penalty strokes. However, the golf ball size lump taken out of
my neck was another story as I thought I heard the doctor say something about
it being a Titleist Pro V1.
Question of the
Weak or is this Thoughts to Ponder:
Are
children who act in rated ‘R’ movies allowed to see them?
Are eyebrows considered facial hair?
At a movie theater which arm rest is yours?
Can a short person “talk down” to a taller person?
Can animals commit suicide?
Can you daydream at night?
Do bald people get dandruff?
Do coffins have lifetime guarantees?
Do dentists go to other dentists or do they just do it themselves?
Do prison buses have emergency exits?
Do sheep get static cling when they rub against one another?
Do stairs go up or down?
Do stuttering people stutter when they’re thinking to themselves?
Do they have the word “dictionary” in the dictionary?
Do you yawn in your sleep?
What’s
a question with no answer called?
Our League received a couple of thank you notes.

Sydney
Baker & Family sent a thank you card for the donation made to the Honor
Flight in honor of George Baker.
