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.

Division Standings:

place and the #4 Seed. Team Anderson
with a big win moved up to second and into the #5 Seed. Team Bramlage moved down to 3rd
place and out of seeding by 2.5 points. Team
Kiffmeyer fizzled and out of contention.
B Division: Team Flynn with a good win
held 1st place and luckily was awarded the #2 Seed (tied points with
Team Kientz). Team Halpin comes in
second and missed seeding by a half point (come on a half point). Team Leirey with a win moved up to 3rd
and Team Buescher down to 4th with both out of contention.
C Division: Team Kientz held 1st and unluckily
awarded the #3 Seed (tied points with Team Flynn). Team Breen moved up to 2nd and
still needed a couple of more weeks while Team Zachritz dropped to 3rd. Team Harms locked in last in the league.
D Division: Team Pfeiffer held their 1st
place in the league and #1 Seed. Team
Bachmann held 2nd place and barely held the #6 Seed (half point over
Team Halpin and 2.5 points over Team Bramlage).
Team Vaughn moved up to 3rd and Team Sue&Sherrill dropped
to 4th.
Seeding:
Big and final change in seeding was Team
Anderson jumping into seeding and Team Bramlage getting knocked out.
Number 1 Seed Team Pfeiffer
Number 2 Seed Team Flynn
Number 3 Seed Team Kientz
Number 4 Seed Team Schumacher
Number 5 Seed Team Anderson
Number 6 Seed Team Bachmann
Position Round 3 Secretary Predictions/Results:
·
A Division - secretary predicts
that Team Schumacher gets 40 points vs Team Bramlage gets 50 points and Defending
League Champions Team Kiffmeyer gets 75 points and takes the division lead. This knocks Team Bramlage out of seeding and
drops Team Schumacher to #6 Seed.
Results: Wow missed most of this as Team Schumacher
got 65.5 points to maintain the #4 Seed.
Then Team Anderson got 77 points to knock Team Kiffmeyer completely
out. At least I got it right that Team Bramlage
would get knocked out of seeding.
·
B Division - secretary predicts
Team Halpin takes 78 points over Team Flynn and moves into division lead and
knocking Team Flynn out of seeding.
Results: Really got this wrong as Team Flynn got 56
points and Team Halpin comes up a half point short of seeding.
·
C Division - secretary predicts
Team Zachritz pulling in a massive 87 points over Team Kientz to only miss by 1
stroke from taking the lead away from Team Kientz. Team Harms defeats Team Breen and ends any
hope of a seeded position.
Results: Got this all wrong as Team Kientz gets 63.5
points to hold their seeding and Team Breen brought in a 53.5 win over Team
Harms.
·
D Division - secretary predicts
Team Pfeiffer vs Team Bachmann to be the biggest slug fest with Team Bachmann
(and an ever clear mind) with a 77 point win but falling short of 1st
place but keeping a seeded position.
Results: Maybe I got part of this right. From what I heard seems that Team Pfeiffer
pulled out the big guns to defeat Team Bachmann and hold their #1 Seed as Team
Bachmann barely held the #6 Seed.
o
Who will make the play-offs?
§
Received 3 responses and all missed
by one team. At least that was better than my predictions.
o Who
will be the League Champion?
§
Secretary predicts that in the Wild
Card play-off Team Kientz will defeat Team Bachmann and Team Anderson (shirts)
will defeat Team Schumacher. Leading to Team Pfeiffer vs Team Anderson and Team
Flynn vs Team Kientz. Another tough
prediction but I will go with the Final being Team Pfeiffer vs Team Flynn with
Team Pfeiffer taking the championship.
§
As before, hopefully, my
predictions are correct, however if anyone would like to try and pick who the league
champion will be, I have a dozen very well experienced golf balls for whomever
can guess correctly. More than one we
will have a drawing for the winner. Send
to halpinc@aol.com
by August 31.
