Recap…
Tuesday, August 1st was the fourteenth official week of the DUFFERS
2006 season. The weather was hot, HOT, and
HOT! Which probably caused the
awful attendance. Our first group
teed-off at 4:30 and our final group replaced the flagstick at 8:05.
Attendance was very bad with only 35 of 54 members (65%) and 3 guests (70%) making their way to
the tee box. Member attendance for
the year has now slipped to 84%, while total attendance, including guests
and make-up rounds is down to 90%.

’06 Scheduled Events…
As a result of discussions held during the Spring Kick-off meeting, here is a
list of tentative dates (weather permitting) for this year’s Duffer
Events.
FunNites…
May 30th, June 27th, and August 8th
KnockDowns…
May 30th (front 9), July 11th (front 9),
August 15th (back 9), and Sept. 5th (front

FunNite #3…
is next Tuesday August 8th.
The food will be ROAST BEEF sandwiches, roasted corn-on-the-cob, and
other fixin’s.
The Fun will be a 3-man team (you pick-‘em), GREEN
BALL TOURNAMENT. The event
will be fully handicapped which will even out the field and prevent team
stacking. We will be playing regular
weekly golf so Weekly Tournament Points will be awarded and those who miss the
event should play a make-up round.
Here is how the GREEN BALL TOURNAMENT will
be played.
Pick your own 3-man team. Each team
will be given one green golf ball to use in the event. Your team must then finish the round with that
ball, still in your possession, to be eligible for any prizes.
Each team member must alternately play 3 holes with the green ball. For example, player
‘A’ will have the green ball on
holes 1, 4, and 7, player ‘B’ will be given the green
ball to play holes 2, 5, and 8.
Then player ‘C’ will play the green ball
on holes 3, 6, and 9. To add to the
confusion, the tournament will be scored as a NET tournament, so the person
hitting the green ball will
record his ‘net’ score for the holes he plays with the green ball on the Team section of the
scorecard and his gross score on the individual score row. I know it’s confusing; maybe the example
below will help.

FYI…
The GREEN BALL TOURNAMENT is 100%
voluntary. So if you are one of those
four sums who must play together, three players can participate in the
tournament while the forth player can play along for the fun of it all. Since this is a net event, guests
will not be able to participate but are welcome to come out and play along for
the fun of it!
hint…
Choose your team members as well as your teams ROTATION wisely! We will be playing the front side and there
are six ‘water holes’ that come into play.
So, if you decide to gamble with the player who is getting two strokes
on a hole, be prepared to loose the green ball and
any chance your team may have had to finish ‘in the money’!
In case of a tie, total team putts will be used as the ‘tie breaker’ so COUNT
YOUR PUTTS!
As always, questions and/or comments are welcome.
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.
Thanks for the help guys! J

PLAY’!
Low Net (32) – Mike Baker – $35

Pin #17

Three Skins were out at $23 each…

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