LEAGUE INFO…
Recap…
Tuesday, July 3rd was the twelfth official week of the DUFFERS 2007
season. The weather was hot and humid
and the course was in excellent playing condition. The Bonus Match KnockDown attendance was pretty good with 51 (1
pre-play) of 57 members
(89%) and 3 guests teeing it up.
Member attendance for the year remains at 89%, while total attendance,
including guests and make-up rounds is an excellent 98%.
Yet another controversy and
decision for ‘The Rules Committee’
The Rules Committee determined that Stanny acted outside his
authority by moving Pat Anderson’s pin shot on the 17th green. Pat and Larry will split that pin shot
prize. By allowing Pat’s pin shot to
stand, it was understood that his groups round was deemed to be ‘official’ and
that the “Pats” were eligible to collect Skin winnings along with any and all
Points won during Tuesday’s event.
To avoid any similar conflicts, ‘The Committee’ amended the current Pre-Play definition
to state that; “Any round started before 4:00 Tuesday, according to
“The Starters timepiece” will be considered a Pre-Play round. If there is a question about the “official”
time and you wish to avoid the ‘Pre-Play penalty, ask “The Starter” to verify
that you and your group are teeing off after 4:00.
FYI, Pre-Play rounds remain capped at NET PAR or greater and are
ineligible for Skins entry and/or KnockDown Points.

Tradition
dictates that the winners buy the drinks, 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+7+5+6+4+9+6+4+6 = 53 not 54 – Bob Nimrichter
4+5+5+4+6+5+5+4+5 = 43 not 44 – Mark Roth
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.
