LEAGUE INFO…
Recap…
Tuesday, July 25th was the thirteenth official week of the DUFFERS
2006 season. The weather was HOT with
partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the upper 80’s. Although there was thunder heard a few miles
away the Duffers stayed hot and dry.
Our first group teed-off at 4:30 and our final group replaced the
flagstick at about 8:30.
Attendance was again below par with only 44 of 54 members (81%) and 2 guests
(85%) make their way to the tee box. Member
attendance for the year is 85%, while total attendance, including guests and
make-up rounds is back down to 91%.
Rules Committee… (Volunteer found)
Members officiate any rules disputes that might arise during league
play.
Pete White has stepped forward and asked to be included as a member of the
Rules Committee. THANKS Pete! J

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.

A few Skin
Game reminders…
1) Guests
are welcome to play in our Skin game for the usual and customary fee of $5 but, as indicated
on the skin / worksheet, guests are only eligible for the skins
portion of the pot. Guests are not
eligible for Pin Shots or the Low Net game.
The three extra dollars guests contribute is a premium fee levied in
lieu of membership fees. After all,
guests do take away tee times from our dues-paying members and with the size of
the league and our stating time this year, we all know the premium placed on
getting up to the tee box.
2) As first reported in the ’06 Spring
Kickoff Meeting minutes: In addition to this year Visitor Policy, the
Skin Game has been amended so that no ‘Late Entry’ will be accepted. All Skin Game entry (payment and entry
indication) must be made prior to teeing off.
Regardless of the Skin Game balance, posting and/or paying after your
round is completed is no longer permitted!
If you are not paid and your name is not ‘X’ed out by the time our
last group has teed off, you are NOT in the game. No refund or adjustment to the Skin box will be made.
3) 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!
SKIN
RESULTS for Wk #13…
we had 45 out of the 46 players (93%) in the game
for a pot of $220

Hey guys… it’s just like the lotto, ‘you can’t win if you don’t PLAY’!
Low Net (30) – Rob Sibley – $44
Pin #4 – JZ – $44
Pin #7 –
Rob Sibley – $44
Two Skins were out at $44 each…

Tradition
dictates that the winners buy you a drink, or be heckled miserably!
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.
The corner is unbelievably EMPTY this week!

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.
