IRS Wednesday Golf League Newsletter

Week 16 – August 12, 2020

 

This week my thanks go out to Team Bachmann for last minute adjusting their team line-up to accommodate their opposing team and reduce the number of carts needed.  That was very much appreciated by all.

 

My thanks go to Brian Taylor with just 1 hour notice before tee time showing up to sub.  Team Sue&Sherrill thank you too.

 

Mike Breen was missing from the course this week and his team desperately needed him.  Seems Mike was away on his honeymoon.  Congratulations to Mike on his recent marriage. 

 

Treasurer Chuck Reckers reports that there are 3 regulars outstanding on dues/green fees/carts.  For those that still owe please mail check to Chuck, his home address is 5641 Glen Oak, Mason Ohio 45040, or bring to the course next Wednesday.  Thanks to all those who are paid up.

 

League Outing:

 

Scheduled for September 11, A.J. Jolly Golf Course. 

 

This year due to social distancing AJ Jolly Golf Course will give us tee times tentatively starting at 7:30 a.m.  (Tee times have not been set yet.  Currently we have 51 players and we are estimating tee times between 7:30 a.m. – 10 a.m.) 

 

Golf, Cart, Goodie bag, Lunch, and Beverages will be $67 (this is $3 less than last year).   

 

Dinner – Cancelled this year due to not many players wanting to have dinner. 

 

Plans are to have skin games and greenies (no long putt): Skins - $5 and Greenies - $3 (greenies will be hit the green and notate it on scorecard and name will be drawn for the winner).

No other on course games planned at this time due to social distancing and Covid. 

Flight winners, Skins, and Greenie winners will be paid by check in the mail.

 

Payment due by August 29 to Treasurer Chuck Reckers.  Payment can be mailed to Chuck Reckers: 5641 Glen Oak, Mason, OH  45040 or bring to the course on Wednesday.

Carts:

Every week I will post this about carts and fees. 

Green fees and cart fees are still being paid by the League Treasurer Chuck Reckers.  For those okay with riding 2 in a cart with teammates that is now acceptable and preferred.   For those who said they will walk but wish to change to walk front and ride back or ride both sides, you need to let the League Treasurer Chuck Reckers know by Tuesdays 6 p.m. so he can update his records and notify the course on number of carts we will need.  Also, if you are having a sub that is different on walk or ride you need to let Chuck know about that.  If a player wants to commit to ride the back or both sides Chuck will update his records and collect the cart fees as part of the second installment in late July.  Reminder that no changing your mind at the course. 

 

Subs:

Subs this past week:  Jeff Barnhorst (Team Schumacher), Boyd Marley (Team Bachmann), Brian Taylor (Team Sue&Sherrill), Carol Goldstone (Team Sue&Sherrill), Mike Schwarberg (Team Kientz), Shari Anderson (Team Harms),  Steve Ruehl (Team Breen), Jeff Witt (Team Buescher).  Thanks for being there.

Division Standings:

 

A Division:   Still a close race here for the lead as Team Schumacher (#4 Seed) with a loss to Team Bramlage (#6 Seed) still holds the lead but only by 6 points.  Team Kiffmeyer with a big win moves into 3rd place and 36 points out of 1st.  Team Anderson with a big loss drops to 4th and 74.5 points out. 

 

B Division:  Team Flynn (#1 Seed) with a big win over Team Halpin increased their lead leaving Team Halpin in 2nd and now 63.5 points out of 1st.  Team Buescher remains in 3rd and Team Leirey in 4th.

 

C Division:   Team Kientz (#3 Seed) suffered a loss but maintained their 1st place position.  Team Zachritz with a big win over Team Breen moves into 2nd place and only 37 points out of the lead.  Team Breen drops to 3rd place and 66.5 points out of the lead. 

 

D Division:  Big change here as Team Pfeiffer with a big win jumps into the lead and the #2 Seed.  Team Bachmann with a big loss drops to 2nd place and #5 Seed.  Team Vaughn brings in 3rd and Team Sue&Sherrill comes in 4th and both may be too far out of seeding.

 

Seeding:

Changes this week to Seeding are Team Pfeiffer jumping to #2 Seed and Team Bachmann dropping to #5 Seed.  2 weeks left (180 points available) before playoffs.  Still several teams with a chance for Wild Card Seeding.

 

Number 1 Seed – Team Flynn

Number 2 Seed – Team Pfeiffer

Number 3 Seed – Team Kientz

Number 4 Seed – Team Schumacher

Number 5 Seed – Team Bachmann

Number 6 Seed – Team Bramlage

 

The Almighty Fork: 

Forked in Week 15 is Team Sue&Sherrill and Team Buescher.   Three teams are on the griddle and could get Forked next week.  Last week’s warning went to Team Kiffmeyer, Team Vaughn, and Team Zachritz, seems that put the prod on Team Kiffmeyer and Team Zachritz as both had big wins and are not quite done.  Not good for Team Vaughn as now in Week 16 they get Forked.   

 

Week 12 – Team Leirey                                                               Week 14 – Team Harms

Week 15 – Team Sue&Sherrill & Team Buescher                Week 16 – Team Vaughn
