IRS Wednesday Golf League Newsletter

Week 16 – August 11, 2021

 

League Outing:

Still hoping to get more names/teams for the League Outing, separate e-mail will be going out. 

The League Outing is scheduled for September 10 at A.J. Jolly Golf Course.  From preliminary information from A.J. Jolly we will most likely have tee times again this year.  (Shot gun start would require at least 80 to 100 golfers.) 

Estimated cost will be between $55 to $60 which will include golf, cart, lunch, soft drinks, water, and goodie bag.  No determination has been made on whether to have dinner which would be additional cost.  

If all league members and subs can check with their friends/relatives/co-workers to find more players maybe we can get our numbers up to have a shot gun start. 

 

The 9 hole gift certificates from the course were given to the Team Captains.  These can be used for the teams going to the wild card play-offs.  Cards are good until March 2022 and good for use at California Golf Course.

 

Subs this week were:  Mary Jo Leirey (for Team Hill); Dave Vincent (for Team Breen); Jeff Witt (for Team Buescher); Steve Ruehl (for Team Bramlage); and Mike Schwarberg (for Team Kientz).    Thanks for being there.

·        Number 1 Seed was taken back by Team Vaughn (up from #5 Seed).

·        Number 2 Seed is now held by Team Kientz (up from #3 Seed).

·        Number 4 Seed is now Team Zachritz (up from #6 Seed).
