LEAGUE INFO…
Recap…
Tuesday, June 7th was the sixth official week of the DUFFERS 2005
season. The weather was HOT and the
conditions were perfect for playing a round with your friends! And, we did have a few old friends make it
out to play as guests last night. Bill
Bunevich, JZ, Tom Dickson, all former members came out to enjoy the
evening. Attendance was weak with only 36 of 48 members (75%) and 5
guests making their way to the tee box.
Member attendance for the year has fallen to 89%, while total
attendance, including guests and make-up rounds remains at 93%.
KnockDown
Tournament #1
was held last night. BONUS
points were awarded to the winners.
Check out the Knockdown results at the Duffer website.
The
Glenn McLaughlin Summer Solstice Bonus Points Tournament…
So, you like playing golf, you like the Duffers, you like playing
Skins, and you like getting BONUS POINTS! Then this deal is for you.
Tuesday June 21st is the longest day of the year (sun sets @ 9:04 with
twilight lasting until 9:38) and on this summer solstice evening at
Creekwood, the Duffers will be playing the inaugural Glenn McLaughlin Summer
Solstice Bonus Points Tournament. What
is the Glenn McLaughlin Summer Solstice Bonus Points Tournament you ask? Simply stated it’s a second nine hole Weekly
Tournament played for BONUS POINTS and Skins after the origin/official nine
holes is completed. Remember when you were
a kid, how cool it was to stay out late when it was light so late in the
summer, well, that’s the idea behind this event. Get out with your friends, enjoy the fresh evening air, play
eighteen holes instead of nine, have an excuse for getting home a little
later, and get some BONUS POINTS!
So plan on staying late and playing eighteen holes next Tuesday, June 21st. If you don’t play the 2nd nine
holes, the POINTS you miss may come back to haunt you! J

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.
This corner is EMPTY AGAIN, good work guys! J
a 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!
