LEAGUE INFO…

Recap…
Tuesday, May 3rd was the first official week of the DUFFERS 2005 season.  The weather was much better than last weeks rain storm but it was still cloudy and a bit nippy.  It’s nice to get the practice rounds finished and begin the regular weekly season. 

To those of you who have been making it a habit of teeing off early, I would like to remind you the official league tee time is 4:41!  Please understand that Creekwood GC and its employees are extending you the courtesy of teeing off early.  In the event that another league starts before us or the golf course is busy with open play, you, as a league member, contracted to tee off beginning at 4:41, will be required to wait and play at our regularly scheduled time. Please remember that it’s a privilege for you to be teeing off early and treat the counter staff and starters with respect!

Attendance was poor with only 36 of 50 members (72%) and 0 guests making their way to the tee box.  Member attendance for the year is 72%, while total attendance, including guests and make-up rounds is also a disappointing 72%.

Low Net (30) – Todd Cramer - $28
Pin #12 – Denny Gedeon – $28

Pin #17 – Mickey Lima –  $28

Three Skins were out @ $18 each
#11 – eagle – Todd Cramer
#14 – birdie – Mark Sustarsic
#18 – birdie – Mark Sustarsic

#13 – birdie – Paul Chichester - but he neglected to get into the game
#15 – birdie – Tom Melbar – oh, he wasn’t in the Skin Game either!  You think they will learn?
 
Tradition dictates that they buy you a drink, or be heckled miserably!

NOTE… PLEASE DON’T PREMATURELY CIRCLE YOUR BIRDIES ON THE SKIN SHEET!  It’s a pretty television graphic presentation BUT it makes it VERY DIFFICULT to see the TRUE SKINS!


MORON’S CORNER… (Formerly JETHRO CIPHERS)
This is the spot where I will highlight (low light) the SPECIAL skills of Duffers and their simplistic mathematic disabilities.

Stay out of this column by taking a minute or two and check that the scorer in your foursome wasn’t a MORON too!
