LEAGUE INFO…
Recap…
Tuesday, June 24th was the eleventh official week of the DUFFERS
2008 season. The weather was closer to
the summer-time temperatures one would expect at this time-o-year with close to
80-degree temperatures and mostly sunny skies.
The Match Play Tournament got back into gear with 6 of the scheduled 8
matches being played. Attendance was
pretty good with 45 (1 pre-play) of 50 members (90%) and 6
guests making their way around the front side. Member attendance for the year remains 92%, while total
attendance, including guests and make-up rounds is back up to 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!’

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.
’08 Match Play

This
‘second round’ ends with just ONE remaining play dates (July 8th),

FunNite
#2…
is being held next Tuesday (July1st).
As I understand it, Alexander’s is providing chicken wings along with
some munchies. As usual, refreshments
of beer and pop will also be provided. The
FUN portion of the evening will be a ‘you pick-em’ TWO-MAN SCRAMBLE. The entry fee, should you wish to
participate, will be $10. “The
Committee” has decided that all prizes will be awarded on a TEAM basis. Those prizes will be:
First Place – tiebreaker being best score on hardest (lowest handicapped
holes).
Last Place – tiebreaker being worst score on easiest (highest handicapped
holes).

Skins Game
Member participation in the scramble format is voluntary. If you would rather play ‘regular golf’,
come out and play then enjoy the FunNite festivities.
Guests are welcome to attend for a fee of $5. They can play regular golf or a scramble but they are not
eligible to participate in “The League” money games. The $5 fee will be assessed to all guests regardless if they eat
or not.

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+6+6+3+5+4+4+5+5 = 43 not 44 – Rich Began
4+5+4+3+6+7+4+6+6 = 45 not 46 – Mike Kennedy
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.
