LEAGUE INFO…
Recap…
Tuesday, May 23rd was the fifth official week of the DUFFERS 2006
season. The weather was springtime
perfect with bright blue skies and 60-degree temperatures. Creekwood C.C. is plush, green, and
beautiful. The greens are recovering nicely from the recent aeration and you
have to stay in the fairways to have any chance of making a birdie at Creekwood
these days!
Our first group teed-off at 4:42 while the final group replaced the
flagstick at 8:55. Most rounds
were played in about 2:20!
Attendance was VERY good with 48 of 53 members (91%) and 4 guests (98%) making their
way to the tee box. With last nights
excellent conditions, member attendance for the year has risen to 84%,
while total attendance, including guests and make-up rounds is up to 89%.
The League needed your HELP…
J
and thankfully these members took it upon themselves to step up and
rescue the FunNites!
President…
Rick Kayfes has returned after a five-week hiatus.
FunNight / Outing Committee…
Pat Keaton and his gang have stepped up and volunteered to man the
FunNight / Outing Committee! They

Five Skins were out @ $18 each…
#10 – birdie – Pete White

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.
6+8+4+4+5+7+4+4+5 = 47 not 52 – Mike Milam
6+6+5+6+6+9+8+6+5 = 57 not 63 – David Zeller
7+5+5+4+4+6+6+4+5 = 46 not 48 – John Zitello
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!
