Recap…
Tuesday, August 19th was the 18th official week and third
FunNite of the DUFFERS 2008 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 potato salads. A
great big thanks goes out to the FunNite #3 Committee: Mickey Lima and
Dave Gedeon, 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. Attendance, as
one would expect on a FunNite, was good with 46 of 50 members (92%) and 4
guests green balling their way
around the front-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!’

Keep up with the group in front of you.
The back-o-the pack should be able to make it around in just a few
more minutes than the first group!
With summer slipping away and this years Duffer season
moving toward its end, daylight is once again an issue. Each week we are losing more and more
daylight. Yesterday’s sunset was at
8:21 while next weeks sunset will be 8:10. Give your fellow Duffers at the back-o-the pack a break and make
an effort to get around the course in a timely manner.

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 becoming quite a horse race with a handful of players’
with-in reach of the Points Championship. 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’!
Remaining ’08
Scheduled Events…
KnockDowns…
Remaining KnockDown date is: Sept. 16th (front 9).
Final Outing…
The Final Outing is being held Saturday, Sept. 20th,
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…

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!
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.
6+4+5+3+6+4+4+4+6 = 42 not 43 – Frank Bago
7+6+7+6+9+4+5+7+8 = 59 not 60 – Paul Ebright
6+4+5+4+7+5+5+4+7 = 47 not 48 – Charlie Wright
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”!
