Division
Standings:
Division A: Some more big changes here as Team Anderson takes the lead and #4 Seed back. Team Bramlage falls to 2nd and is only 19.5 points out. Team Kientz holds onto 3rd and is still 29.5 points out of 1st. Team Leirey in 4th can only hope to spoil any chances for Team Kientz. Next week’s matches between Team Anderson vs Team Bramlage will decide who goes to the play-offs. However, if Team Kientz can score more than 75 points vs Team Leirey and Team Anderson and Team Bramlage split then Team Kientz could make the play-offs.
Division B: Biggest change was here as Team Vaughn (forked
in week 10) takes the lead and #3 Seed. Team
Slye falls to 2nd and out of seeding, but only 18 points out of the
lead. Team Kiffmeyer brings in 3rd
and no chance for seeding along with Team Harms in 4th. Next week’s match between Team Vaughn vs Team
Slye should be the match to watch as this will decide the division winner and a
possible wild card position.
Division C: Team Flynn with another loss still holds the
top position and #1 Seed. Team Halpin remained
in 2nd place and the #6 Seed and closed in on Team Flynn (only 28.5
points out). Team Schumacher with a win remained
in 3rd, 58 points out of 1st and 29.5 points out of
seeding. Team Pfeiffer comes in 4th
and can only hope to spoil any chances for Team Schumacher. Next week’s match between Team Flynn vs Team Halpin
should be another match to watch as Team Halpin needs a big win to hold a seed
position or take 1st.
Division D: Team Breen still holds the lead and #2
Seed. Team Patmann with another big win holds
2nd, the #5 Seed, and is only 12 points out of 1st. Team Buescher moved up to 3rd and
a half point over Team Freeman. Next week’s match between Team Breen vs Team
Patmann will decide the division winner and possible wild card seeding. The match between Team Buescher vs Team
Freeman, if either one gets a massive win, could put them in a seeded position.
Current Seeding:

Team Flynn
#2 –
Team Breen

Team Vaughn

Secretary
Predictions:

winning over Team Anderson. Team Kientz
gets a massive win over Team Leirey.
Team Kientz wins the Division and Team Anderson, Team Bramlage, and Team
Leirey play in the Scramble.
B Division: Secretary predicts Team Slye win big over
Team Vaughn and takes back 1st place. Team Vaughn, Team Kiffmeyer, and Team Harms
play in the Scramble.
C Division: Secretary predicts Team Halpin taking a big
win over Team Flynn and moves into 1st, Team Flynn moves to second and
a wild card spot. Team Schumacher and
Team Pfeiffer split and play in the Scramble.
D Division: Secretary predicts Team Breen bringing in a
big win to keep their position as Team Patmann falls to 3rd as Team
Freeman gets a massive win over Team Buescher and Team Freeman makes a wild
card spot. Team Patmann and Team
Buescher play in the Scramble.

Heard in the
Clubhouse:
All the players on Team Vaughn shooting in the
30’s (Steve Duddey – 36, Ray Vaughn – 37, Steve Ruehl – 39, and Eddie Gregory –
39). Wow!
Seems Mr. Charlie Patmann had some help on hole
#18. His second shot is on the hill, he
duffs shots 3 & 4. Chips on the
green, the ball hits the long putt marker and deflects into the hole and
Charlie wins by a stroke. What was even
more amazing on this was the long putt marker was placed by Mr. Bill Zachritz
on the group in front. Team Captain
Charlie Patmann thanks teammate Mr. Bill Zachritz for putting the long putt
stake in the right spot.
And something I received from Mr. Clyde Barnes:
Two old men had been friends most of
their lives. When it was clear that Frank was dying, Leonard visited him every
day.
One day Leonard
said, "Frank, we both loved playing golf all our lives, and we started
playing in high school. Please do me one
favor: when you get to heaven, somehow you must let me know if there's golf
there.”
Frank looked up at Leonard from his deathbed and
said, "Leonard, you've been my best friend for many years. If it's at all
possible, I'll do this favor for you.”
Shortly after that, Frank died.
A few weeks later, Leonard was awakened from a
sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to him,
"Leonard!”
"Who is it?" asked Leonard, sitting up
suddenly. "Who is it?”
"Leonard -- it's me, Frank.”
"You're not Frank. Frank just died.”
"I'm telling you, it's me, Frank,"
insisted the voice.
"Frank! Where are you?"
"In heaven," replied Frank. "I
have some really good news and a little bad news.”
"Tell me the
good news first," said Leonard.
"The good
news," Frank said with joy and enthusiasm, "is that there is golf in
heaven. Better yet, all of our old buddies who died
before me are here too. Even better than
that, we're all young again. Better
still, it's always Summertime and it never rains. And best of all, we can play golf all we want,
and we never get tired. And we get to play with all the greats of the
past."
"That's fantastic," said Leonard.
"It's beyond my wildest dreams! So what's the bad news?"
"You're in my
foursome this Saturday."

Fine
Print: Seems someone who moved up to the
forward tees is upset that people moved up to the forward tees and are winning
all the games. Nuff
said. Mr. Bill take care of that. Secretary comment: Folks on the white tees hold the most
dollars.
