LEAGUE INFO…


Recap…
Tuesday, September 13th was the eighteenth official week of the DUFFERS 2005 season.   What a wonderful evening it was at Creekwood C.C.!  Sunny blue skies, light breeze, and 80 degrees, if you missed last night, you really missed one of the nicest nights we’ve had in a long while.  This week’s attendance was light but as expected this time of year. We had 36 of 47 members (77%) and 2 guests make their way to the tee box.  Member weekly attendance for the year has fallen to a disappointing 86%, while total attendance, including guests and make-up rounds has fallen to 92%.  

KnockDown #5…
The last KnockDown of the ’05 season will be held next Tuesday (9/20).  As always, you must be present to be eligible to participate.


’05 Season Final Tournament & Outing…
click here to see Pairings and Tee Times…
Next week I will start preparing for The Outing.  It’s time to start thinking about whom you want to play with and when you wish to tee off.  The ‘05 Final Outing is being held at Creekwood Country Club, Saturday, September 24th at 9:00. Mark that date on your calendars!  As a reminder, it’s scheduled to be an all day affair.  Your dues are finally coming back to you in the form of an 18-hole net tournament.  All league members and guests will receive 18-holes (carts included), lunch at the turn, and a steak dinner catered by Alexander’s Restaurant.  A prize ceremony will follow dinner.

As in any Duffer event, GUESTS are welcomed and encouraged to attend. If you wish to bring a guest to play in your foursome, the cost will be $70 (Skins / Blind Bogey included).  Extra meals for wives, girl friends, or significant others are available for $20 each.  As a reminder, it was decided at the League Spring Kick-off Meeting, that guests would only be allowed to participate in the Skins and Blind Bogey games.  Guest will not be included in the skill / luck events such as proximity shots and long drives where Duffer League money is awarded.

Note:
  The attendees of the Spring Kick-off Meeting decided to allow a member who is unable to attend the Final Outing to send a ‘proxy player’ in his place.  This ‘proxy player’ will only be charged the cost of golf and cart (~$37.00) and be eligible to enter the Skin / Blind Bogey game as any visitor will be for the cost of $10.


Former Duffer needs our HELP…   DONE!
Former Duffer member, Dan Pulice needs our help.  Last winter Dan was in a terrible automobile accident that left him in a wheel chair, on a ventilator, and with brain damage.  Dan’s health insurance is running out and his medical bills are mounting.  To assist Dan and his family there will be a fundraiser dinner / raffle Saturday September 10th at St. Clarence pavilion.  Price is approximately $55 and includes a buffet dinner, beer, wine, music, door prizes, and a $1000 raffle.  If you would like to attend the dinner / raffle or would like more detailed information about the dinner or Dan’s condition, see Stanny, he has a flier that goes into greater detail. 

I suggest that the Duffer Golf League assist Dan, our former member, by donating a portion of this year PRIZE POOL to help him defray his medical bills.  I propose that we contribute $300, which would be approximately 20% of this year’s Final Outing Prize Pool.  DONE!

Come on guys, join in the fun, it’s just like the lottery; ‘you can’t win if you don’t play’!


Tuesday’s Skins…
Low Net (30) – Ted Barrows – $32 – second week in a row!
Pin #14 – Ted Barrows – $32

Four Skins were out at $16 each…

Tradition dictates that the winners 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.

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