Recap…
Tuesday, July 29th was the 15th official week of the
DUFFERS 2008 season. The weather again
was typical Cleveland end-o-July with mostly sunny skies and upper 80-degree
temperatures. Round #3 of the Match
Play Tournament ended with two matches being played. Attendance was once again average with 44
of 50 members (88%) and 5
guests making their way around the back nine. Member attendance for the year remains 92%, while total
attendance, including guests and make-up rounds remains an incredible 101%!

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!’

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.
8+7+3+6+7+5+6+5+6 = 53 not 54 – Mark Clark
45-6 = 39 not 41 – Paul Chichester
56-9 = 47 not 45 – Mark Hodgson
43-8 = 35 not BLANK – Jack Tabor
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.
