Recap…
Tuesday, June 10th was the ninth official week of the DUFFERS 2008
season. The weather was pleasant with
sunny blue skies and 77-degree temperatures but the course was saturated due to
an afternoon cloudburst. Attendance was
pretty good again with 44 of 50 members (88%) and 4 guests slogging their way
around the front-nine. Member attendance
for the year remains 92%, while total attendance, including guests and
make-up rounds has risen to a PERFECT 100%!

Maintain
your Final Tournament Eligibility by having no more than two absences during
the season!
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 on
Tuesday.
With 50 members and the NASA league ahead of us, the Duffers MUST
play READY GOLF!
Be ready to hit when it’s your turn.
Plan in advance; think about your up-coming shot while you’re
approaching the ball and go ahead and hit it if there is no one else in the
vicinity, regardless of who has honors.
If you are not in another player’s way, line up your putt while
another player is hitting his. Regardless
of the ‘beer girl’ not everyone in the foursome needs to hang around
the beer cart when she is present, someone should be hitting the ball while
others are buying the beer. Please
recognize that ‘your proper position on the
golf course is behind the group in front of you, NOT in front of the group
behind you!’

Good job, Group #1! But, what
happened to the rest of the pack? I
suspect that, ”Cart path only” and 4-Matches took their toll on yesterday’s
‘pace-o-play’.
Help
Needed…
Paul Chichester has a friend whose son has been diagnosed with
leukemia. To help out with medical
costs, Paul has put together a FUNDRAISING GOLF OUTING to be held at
Sweetbriar G.C. in Avon Lake on August 2nd at 11:30. Click here, or check
out the Duffers home page, or see Paul Chichester for more information. Hopefully, “The Duffers” will be able to get
a few foursomes together to help out.

Tradition
dictates that they buy you a drink, 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!
Reminder to all Skin
Players…
This Year’s Skin Game is open to all dues paid MEMBERS (no guests). Game entry (payment and entry indication)
must be made prior to teeing off.
Posting
and/or paying after your round is completed, is not permitted.
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+5+5+5+5+3+5+4+5 = 42 not 40 – Pete White
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”!
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 year’s remaining date is Friday, August 29th at Eagle Creek GC
in Norwalk. The first tee time is ~9:30 and everyone is welcome to attend.
See Larry for further details or if you have any questions.
