LEAGUE INFO…
Recap…
Tuesday, August 14th was the 18th official week of the
DUFFERS 2007 season. The weather was
warm, sunny, and pleasant. Our 3rd
and final FunNite of this season was held last night. If you were absent, you missed a great summer picnic
traditional meal consisting of thick juicy burgers, grilled hot dogs, and
corn-on-the-cob. A great big thanks
goes out to the Outing Committee, especially Mickey Lima, for their efforts
putting on another memorable Duffer FunNite event!
Since last night’s golf was basically the ‘standard weekly format’, make-up
rounds will be accepted and missed rounds will be counted against your Final
Championship Tournament bracket eligibility.
We had our WORST attendance of the season with only 41 of 57 members (72%) and 7 guests
enjoy last night’s activities!
Member attendance for the year has dropped another notch to 85%, while
total attendance, including guests and make-up rounds is steady at 95%.
Pre-Play
'The Rules Committee’ has amended the 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, asking them to place it in the Duffer File, or give it to Stanny
personally on Tuesday.
Consolation
Bracket…
With only Four weeks of regular season play remaining, I want to remind
those of you who are in the ‘Consolation Tournament’ that you can get back into
the ‘Championship Tournament’ by winning one of the remaining WEEKLY
regular play TOURNAMENTS! The POINTS
tournament is winding down and although Chip Dubosh seems to be running
any with the title, I should remind you that there is still one KnockDown Tournament
remaining and we pay off three places in the Points Tournament. So please make every effort to get to
Creekwood and play yourselves either into the money or out of the ‘Consolation
Tournament’!
’07 Scheduled Events…
Here are the tentative dates (weather permitting) for this year’s
remaining Duffer Events.
KnockDown…
Our final KnockDown is scheduled for Sept. 11th
(back 9).
Note: You must be present and play during the regular league hours to be
eligible to receive KnockDown Tournament Points.
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.

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.
4+4+4+5+5+6+6+3+4
= 41 not 42 – Pete Cloherty
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
