with 80° temperatures!

the first tee box.
Member attendance for the year has risen to 89%, while total attendance,
including guests and make-up rounds is an EXCELLENT 99%.

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.
’07 Scheduled Events…
Here are the tentative dates (weather permitting) for this year’s Duffer
Events.
Fun Nites…
#’s 2 & 3 are June 26th, and August 14th.
FunNite #1…
is next Tuesday May 22nd. The food will
be SAUSAGE sandwiches, macaroni and potato salads and all the 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! ($5 for food & drink)
hint…
Choose your team members as well as your teams ROTATION wisely! We will be playing the backside 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
EVERYONE’S PUTTS!
KnockDowns…
Are scheduled for: May 29th (front 9), July 3rd (back
9), August 7th (front 9), and Sept. 11th (back
9).
The second “Glenn McLaughlin Summer Solstice” Bonus Points Tournament…
June 19th (back + front)
Final Outing…
The Final Outing is being held Saturday, Sept. 15th,
9:00, at Creekwood Golf Course. Mark
your calendars now!
FYI, we
will be enjoying a steak roast with all the trimmings, catered by Alexander’s.
Skin News…
Our Skin Committee members are: Frank Bago, Patrick Keaton, Todd Cramer, Mickey Lima,
and Gerry Rapp.
Their duties are to: ENCOURAGE participation from both
members and guests, ensure correct sign-in and tabulation, watch and
sort the money, ensure there is no ‘after posting’, assist in score
keeping, and help with prize money distribution. If you have any suggestions or ideas about how the Skin Game can
be run more efficiently please see one of them or Stanny.

Please, encourage your guests to participate in the Skin

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.

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.
