LEAGUE INFO…
Recap…
Tuesday, August 28th was the 20th official week of the
DUFFERS 2007 season. The weather was
beautiful with 85-degree temperatures and bright blue skies. Creekwood had dried considerably from last
week’s monsoons but the course did show signs of the excess water receiver over
the last two weeks. I feel confident
that the greens will recover nicely by the time we tee off at The Outing.
We had 41 (1 pre-play) of 57 members (72%) and 6 guests tee it up
yesterday afternoon.
Member attendance for the year is now 83%, while total attendance,
including guests and make-up rounds is 93%.
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 Two 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: As always, you must be present and play during the regular league
hours to be eligible to receive KnockDown Tournament Points.
’07 Season Final
Tournament & Outing…
Soon, I will start preparing for The Duffer Outing. It’s time to start thinking about your
groupings and tee times.
Most tee times will be available to ‘committed FOURSOMES’ on a
first-come, first-served basis. As you
should know, the ‘07 Final Outing is being held at Creekwood Country Club,
Saturday, September 15th at 9:00. It’s usually an all day affair.
The only cost to members is $10 for entry into the Skins / Blind Bogey
game. All league members and guests
will receive 18-holes (carts included), lunch at the turn, and
dinner (steak roast, with all the trimmings) catered by Alexander’s
Restaurant. A prize ceremony will
follow dinner.
As in any Duffer event, GUESTS are welcomed and encouraged to attend. If
you wish to bring a guest to play in your foursome, the cost will be $75 (Skins
/ Blind Bogey included). As a reminder, guests are only allowed to
participate in the Skins and Blind Bogey games and will not be included in
the skill / luck events such as proximity shots and long drives where Duffer
League money is awarded.
Extra meals for wives, girl friends, or significant others are
available for $20 each.
A league member
who is unable to attend ‘The Outing’ may designate a guest “proxy player” to attend
at the reduced price of $50.
This ‘proxy player” program was instituted as a convenience to members who can’t attend ‘The Outing’ thus providing them the ability to give the gift of a “free lunch” and dinner to a friend, while still allowing ‘The League’ to maintain it’s significant prize pool. “Proxy players” are included (at no extra cost) in the Skin / Blind Bogey game but are still considered guests and as such, are excluded from the ‘skill / luck’ games.
All guest, ‘proxy’,
and extra dinner fees must be PAID IN FULL by Tuesday Sept. 11th. Tee times and extra meals can only
be guaranteed to 100% committed members and Paid-in-Full guests.
See Stanny if you have any questions or comments.
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.

Hey guys…
it’s just like the lotto, ‘you can’t win if you don’t PLAY!
This weeks
money winner$ were…
Low net (29) –
Mike Milam – $38
Pin #12 – Chris Pizzuli – $38

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.
5+6+5+7+4+7+5+4+3
= 46 not 47 – Dave Haeberlie
4+6+4+5+5+6+5+3+5 = 43 not 44 – Brian Pfeil
4+6+4+6+5+5+5+4+5 = 44 not 45 – Dennis Scheelk
4+5+3+7+5+5+5+5+3 = 42 not 40 – Jack Tabor
6+7+3+5+4+6+6+3+4 = 44 not 45 – Pete White
48 – 9 = 39 not 37 – 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.
