Recap…
Tuesday, May 2nd was the second official week of the DUFFERS 2006
season. The weather was again typical
DUFFER. The afternoons drizzle and
steady chilly rains subsided at 4:15, as scheduled. Once again in usual Duffer fashion, the weather cleared, the sun
came out, the golf course was in excellent condition, and as usual, the Duffers
PLAYED.
Attendance again was POOR with only 36 of 55 members (65%) and 0
guests making their way to the tee box.
Member attendance for the year is 65%, while total attendance,
including guests and make-up rounds is also 65%.

REMEMBER, you have one week to play your make-up rounds. You must play the same side
that the league was originally scheduled to play. Turn your scorecards in to a Creekwood Clubhouse Counter Staff
Member, asking them to place it in the Duffer File, or give it to Stanny on
Tuesday.
’06 Scheduled Events…
As a result of discussions held during the Spring Kick-off meeting, I am
publishing a list of tentative dates (weather permitting) for this
year’s Duffer Events.
Fun Nites…
May 23rd, June 27th, and August 8th.
With the departure of Bill and Brian Pfeil, we need at least two volunteers to
step in and help out on this committee.
Could YOU please help us out?
Your Outing Committee members are: Pat Anderson II, and Dale Sandvick.
Knock-Downs…
May 30th (front 9), July 11th (front 9),
August 15th (back 9), and Sept. 5th (front 9).
Final
Outing… Please NOTE!
The Final Outing has been re-scheduled back to its original date of
Saturday, Sept. 9th, 9:30, at Creekwood Golf Course. Adjust your calendars accordingly.
FYI, we
will be enjoying BBQ Ribs and chicken with all the trimmings, catered by
Alexander’s.
Future Final Outings…
In an effort to eliminate the annual negotiations about when the Outing should
be scheduled and in an effort to make that scheduling fair for everyone,
I believe we might institute the following revolving outing
schedule.
2006, September 9, 1st Saturday after Labor Day (our traditional outing date)
2007, September 15, 2nd Saturday after Labor Day
2008, September 20, 3rd Saturday after Labor Day
2009, September 12, 1st Saturday after Labor Day
2010, September 18, 2nd Saturday after Labor Day
2011, September 24, 3rd Saturday after Labor Day
2012, September 8, 1st Saturday after
Labor Day, etc…
Let me know what you think.
Skin News…
Our Skin Committee members are: Patrick Keaton, Gerry Rapp, Pat Anderson III, Randy Dudinsky,
Frank Bago, & Todd Cramer.
If you have any suggestions or ideas about how the Skin Game can be run
more efficiently please see one of them or Stanny.
SKIN RESULTS
for Wk #2…
we had 32 out of the 33 players (97%) in the game
for a pot of $155
Low Net (33) – Paul Scott – $31
Pin #4 – John Zitello (JZ) – $31
Pin #7 –
Randy Dudinsky – $31
Two Skins were out @ $31 each…
#4 – birdie – John Zitello (JZ)
#5 – birdie – Patrick Keaton
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.
46-0 = 46 not BLANK – Jim Grimmer
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!
LARRY LAHIFF'S SKIN
GAMES…
are a great way to s t r e t c
h the summer holiday weekends and
play a round of golf with friends at one of the areas FINEST golf courses.
This years dates are; Friday May 26th, Monday July 3rd,
and Friday September 1st.
Again this year, all three events will be held at Eagle Creek GC in Norwalk.
The first tee time is ~9:30 and everyone is welcome to attend.
See Larry for further details or if you have any questions.
CREEKWOOD DAY…
Our friends at Creekwood G.C. are celebrating their 46th
anniversary, Saturday June 24th.
It’s a great way to observe summers arrival and party with a few of
your friends. For only $70 (cash or check) you get golf (18 holes,
individual stroke play), ½ cart, lunch, dinner, beer, and PRIZES! The menu, which is catered by Alexander’s,
consists of a PIG ROAST, Bar-B-Q Chicken, sausage & kraut,
rigatoni, salad, and all the trimmings.
Deadline for payment is Tuesday June 13th. See Amy, in
the clubhouse, for further details or if you have any questions.
