LEAGUE INFO…
Recap…
Tuesday, August 26th was the 19th official week of the
DUFFERS 2008 season. The weather was
warm, sunny, pleasant, and PERFECT. The
semi-final round of the Match Tournament was finished setting up a Final Round
match-up between League President, Jack Tabor and Mike Kennedy. Attendance last night was very good,
considering the lateness of the season, with 47 (1 pre-play) of 50 members (94%) and 7
guests making their way around the back nine. Member attendance for the year has ticked up to 93%, while
total attendance, including guests and make-up rounds has improved to an unbelievable 102%!

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.
Play READY GOLF!
‘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 approximately 12
minutes of precious daylight.
Yesterday’s sunset was at 8:10, and next weeks sunset will be at 7:58.
Give your fellow Duffers at the back-o-the pack a break and make EVERY
effort to get around the course as fast as you can!
’08 Match Play
Tournament
Round #5 starts next week with Jack Tabor and Mike Kennedy in the
FINAL Round. Good luck to both our
finalists and thanks to everyone who participated in this year’s Match Play
Tournament. Hopefully, the tourney will
run again next year.
Consolation
bracket…
With only THREE 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
regular play WEEKLY TOURNAMENTS! The
POINTS tournament is becoming quite a horse race with a handful of players
within 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…
The last KnockDown 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…
Our Skin Committee members are:
Mark Roth, Todd Cramer, Josh ‘Pronk’ Bunevich, Mike Milam,

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 speak with a committee member, or Stanny

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.
5+6+4+6+5+8+4+4+5 = 47 not 46 – Jason Bundrant
6+7+6+9+5+5+4+5+5 = 52 not 53 – Mark Clark
6+7+5+7+8+7+7+5+4 = 56 not 51 – Alex Martinez
38-5 = 33 not 32 – Paul Chichester
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”!
