LEAGUE INFO…
Recap…
Tuesday, May 8th was the forth-official week of the DUFFERS 2007
season. The weather was PERFECT with
sunny skies and 80° temperatures! The ideal conditions lead to an all time
high Duffer attendance! Don’t be
too discouraged with yesterdays large crowd at the 1st tee. It was most likely a one-time occurrence due
to the GREAT weather.
We had 55 (3 pre-plays) of 56 members (98%) and 10 guests backed up at the
10th tee.
Unfortunately for our dues paying members, only 2 of yesterdays 10 guests played in the Skin
Game! L
Please, encourage your guests to participate in the Skin Game! After all, they are taking away valuable
tee times from your fellow ‘Duffers’.
Member attendance for the year has risen to 88%, while total attendance,
including guests and make-up rounds is an EXCELLENT 98%.

WHO MISSED Wk #04
Wayne Cerney
REMEMBER, you have one week to play your make-up round. 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
personally on Tuesday.
DUES and are now 100% PAID in FULL!
Those of you who paid by check will see them clearing your bank SOON!
Thank you for your cooperation!
No
Gimmies…
Unfortunately for some members, no one at the ‘Spring Kick-off Meeting’ brought
up the issue of holing out all putts. So, again this year…
Gimmies will not be
permitted! ALL PUTTS MUST BE HOLED OUT
AT ALL DUFFER EVENTS.
With 56
members, the Duffers MUST play READY GOLF!
Be ready to hit when it’s your turn.
Plan in advance; think about your impending shot while you’re
approaching the ball and go ahead and hit it if there is no one else in the
vicinity, regardless of who has honors.
If you are not in another player’s way, line up your putt while
another player is hitting his. Regardless
of the ‘beer girl’ not everyone in the foursome needs to hang around
the beer cart when she is present, someone should be hitting the ball while
others are buying the beer.
Please recognize that ‘your proper position on the
golf course is behind the group in front of you, NOT in front of the group
behind you!’

Bob Nimrichter
+8 un-named guests L
Hey guys… it’s

Thi$ week$
money winner$ were…
Low Net (27)

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.
5+6+5+6+4+7+6+3+6 = 48 not 46 – Bill Pfeil JR. (pre-play)
5+7+6+6+6+7+5+3+4 = 49 not 47 – Brian Pfeil (pre-play)
a friendly
REMINDER…
It is each and every
member’s personal responsibility to insure that his own score is CORRECTLY
recorded (both gross and net) on the weekly skin / work
sheet. Even
though you may not have been the person keeping score for the foursome, it is
your duty to insure that it was done correctly! Do it
right and you won’t end up listed in the “Moron’s Corner”!
NOTE: If you wish to be considered for the ‘net’ portion of the ‘Skin
Game’, the ‘net score box’ must be properly filled in.
LARRY LAHIFF'S SKIN

h the summer holiday weekends and
