Recap…
Tuesday, May 17th was the third official week of the DUFFERS 2005
season. The weather was sunny but cool,
definitely a pleasant spring evening at ‘the club’. Again, Creekwood CC was in
excellent condition! In the more than
twenty years the Duffers have been playing at Creekwood, the grass has never
been as thick and green as it is this year.
The rough is truly ROUGH making the fairways THE premium place to be!
Attendance was very good with 44 of 48 members (92%) and 6 guests making their way
to the tee box. Member attendance
for the year has risen to 92%, while total attendance, including guests and
make-up rounds is an EXCELLENT 97%.
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!
Fun Nite #1…
is scheduled (weather permitting) for the Tuesday following Labor Day, May 31st. At this time, I believe that Pat is leaning
towards having SUBWAY subs to eat, pop and beer to drink, while the FUN
portion is ‘still up for grabs’. If you
have any ideas or thoughts about the menu or games see your Fun Nite Committee
Members, Pat Anderson II (chairman), Bill Pfeil Jr., Brian Pfeil,
Dale Sandvick, or Stanny.

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.
5+5+4+7+7+7+5+3+4 = 47 not 48 – Ted Barrows
6+5+4+7+5+6+6+4+5 = 48 not 49 – Brian Pfeil
