IRS Wednesday Golf
League Newsletter
Week
16 – August 9, 2023
Let’s start this
out with an update on Team Vaughn. This
week as Ray Vaughn and Steve Duddey finished their round and came into the
clubhouse and reported that they both had lost by one stroke and thought their team’s
winning streak was over. Preliminary
news from Eddie Gregory (D player) was not good (tied). Then they got Tom Berns (C player) results,
and amazingly he won by 6 strokes. Team
Vaughn’s winning streak continues and with only 2 weeks left in the regular
season, the question is: can they go all
the way? Up next for Team Vaughn is the Vacant
team, then position round.
Continuing reminder on the schedule containing two tee times for
the teams versus the Vacant team. All tee
times following Team 12 on the regular schedule will be moved up one time earlier. This will be posted on the website each week on
the newsletter tab for the following week and will also be sent via e-mail.
DIVISION
STANDINGS/SEEDING (and Some Thoughts for the Weak):
A
Division has Team Kientz
(#4 Seed) in the lead but only by 6.5 points over Team Crouch in 2nd. Team Zachritz (Forked) moved
up to 3rd place (66 points from the lead). Team Broadus dropped to 4th (84.5
points from the lead) and got Forked this week.
With two weeks left either Team Kientz or Team Crouch will be the leader
with one having a very slim chance for a wild card spot. The secretary thoughts are Team Zachritz does not have an I in team,
however the only I’s are in Bill Zachritz.
P.S. thanks for the beer.
B
Division has Team Flynn (#2
Seed) holding their lead. Team Harms
moved up to 2nd place and #5 Seed (62 points off the lead). Team
Buescher dropped to 3rd place and #6 Seed (4 points from 2nd
place and 66 points off the lead). And lastly
Team Halpin (Forked) in 4th (looking forward to the Scramble). With two weeks left the question is: can Team
Buescher or Team Harms take the lead away from Team Flynn? And can both Wild Card teams come from this
Division.
C
Division has Team Bachmann
(#3 Seed) in the lead. Team Bramlage (Forked)
in 2nd (83.5 points from the lead, 82.5 points away from a Wild Card
spot). Team Kiffmeyer (Forked) in 3rd
(134.5 points away from lead). Team Bill
Anderson (Forked) in 4th (way overdone). With
two weeks left Team Bachmann looks to have this division won and Team Bramlage
would have to have a couple of enormous wins to make the division or wild card.
D
Division has the unbeatable Team
Vaughn (#1 Seed) in the lead and locked in for the Division lead and top Seed). Team Brian Anderson (Forked) in 2nd
(126.5 points away from a wild card spot) and Team Snowden (Forked) in 3rd
place (133 points away from a wild card spot) (no playoff hope for either).
Only 2 weeks
remaining with the possibility of 180 points up for grabs. A Division, B Division, and C Division could still
see some changes to division leaders and wild card spots. D Division is locked.
