LEAGUE INFO…
Recap…
Tuesday, July 10th was the 13th official week of the
DUFFERS 2007 season. The weather again
was hot and humid but a gentle breeze kept things bearable. Creekwood GC is in the best shape I have
ever seen it at this time of year! I
think the heat of the last few days might have kept a few players home because
we had only 44 of 57 members
(77%) and 5 guests teeing it up.
Member attendance for the year drops back to 88%, while total
attendance, including guests and make-up rounds is 97%.
Handicaps
have been adjusted. The mid-season
handicap adjustment has taken place.
The first four scores of the season were dropped from every players
handicap record.
Check out the ’07 report’, on the home page, to see how much your
handicap might have changed.
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 during
the last KnockDown Tournament. The
prize was split between Pat and Larry Lahiff.
To avoid a similar conflict, ‘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.

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,

Hey
guys… it’s just like the lotto, ‘you can’t win if you don’t PLAY!
Thi$ week$
money winner$ were…
Low net (26) – Josh
Bunevich - $42 – (second week in a row, beers bought!)
Pin #4 – Mike Blaner – $42

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.
3+5+5+3+7+4+3+5+4 = 39 not 40 – Gerry Rapp
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 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.
This years remaining date is Friday August 31st.
