Week 17 August 19, 2015
One week left for the regular season. August 26 is the final position round and
most of the drama is behind us.
This past week saw some missed tee times. There was an accident on the I-275 bridge
which delayed several players and one whole team. Several of the players were able to catch up
with their teams, however one team was unable to and forfeited their complete
match. Sorry goes to Team Freeman and
the other players for this unusual occurrence.
A Division had a big change with Team Buescher giving up the
lead to Team Zachritz. Team Zachritz
jumps from 6th seed to 4th seed, while Team Buescher (where
is Larry 86 Bunkelman) falls from 3rd seed to 6th (only
7 points off the lead. Team Kiffmeyer and Team Anderson both would
need a giant miracle to happen for a Wildcard spot.
B Division has Team Donlin in the lead and has this locked
up. Team Bramlage, Team Pfeiffer, and
Team Freeman are there for the fun.
C Division has Team Leirey still in the lead (dropped to 2nd
seed) while no-one was watching as Team Schumacher (5th seed) moved
within striking distance for division lead.
Team Patmann has not thrown in the towel yet but would need a big
miracle for a wild card spot. Team Harms
is in it for the fun.
D Division has Team Flynn moving up to the 1st
seed position and a total run-a-way for division and possibly league. Team Kientz, Team Halpin, and Team Harms are
here for the fun.
Current seeding (with only position round left):
#1 Seed Team Flynn,
#2 Seed Team Leirey, #3 Seed Team Donlin, #4 Seed - Team Zachritz, #5 Seed
Team Schumacher, #6 Seed Team Buescher.

Howell.

Caporale 39.
Most under average at 5+ under average: Mike Finn shoots 43 (5.7 under average) and Ron

League Scramble will on September
2. Scramble committee is Mike Donlin and
Jim Westcott. Tee times will start at
2:54 p.m. thru 4:51 p.m. every 9 minutes.
Format this year is: Four person teams that play 2
two-man scrambles. Under this method, there would be two scores posted on each
hole for each four person team. Ideally, teams would have an A, B, C, and D
player with the A and D player playing as one two man team and the B and C
player playing as the other two man team. In the event that a player is missing
and results in only three people on a team, one player would play for both
players.
If the A player is missing, the B
player would play one ball with the C player and one ball with the D player
If the B player is missing, the C
player would play one ball with the A player and one ball with the D player
If the C player is missing, the D
player would play one ball with the A player and one ball with the B player
If the D player is missing, the C
player would play one ball with the A player and one ball with the B player
Team Formation
All participating players will be
pooled based on average into an A, B, C, or D position. Since there could be
players from losing teams in the playoffs who want to play in the scramble, we
may have to make last minute adjustments to teams with later tee off times if
some of the losing playoff teams either have too many players with low averages
or too many players with high averages.
Therefore, please disclose that team formation is tentative and is subject
to change so that players from losing playoff teams wanting to play in the
scramble can be accommodated and the competitive balance for all teams can
still be maintained.
For
those on Facebook: Request to be a
member of the IRS Golf League Facebook page.
This is a closed group that is open to all league members, subs, and
potential subs. Search for IRS Golf
League California Golf Course and request to be added as a member. This should be a good area to get information
and look for a sub when needed.

Skins on the back nine did not pay
out due to not all teams completing the last few holes. Credit will be given to those who were in the
back nine skins. Greenies were still
paid out on the back nine since all teams completed at least 6 holes.
Most of the regulars and subs in the
league know about Skins, Greenies, and Long Putt. For those that do not, each
week there will be a sheet and a box on one of the tables in the clubhouse. The sheet will have the names of all the
regulars and blank lines at the bottom for subs to write in their names. $3.00 entry fee for Skins; $1.00 entry fee
for Greenies; and $1.00 entry fee for Long Putt ($5.00 for all). Place a check mark for each category for which
you are participating. If the Briefcase
is not out notate on your scorecard your intent to play and pay when you
complete your match. First teams out please take the markers,
last teams in please bring markers in.
