LEAGUE INFO…
Recap…
Tuesday, July 7th
was the tenth week and second FunNite of the Duffer’s 2009 season. Round
two of the Match Play Tournament resumes and ends next Tuesday (7/14). Last nights weather was more seasonal than
last week with 75-degree temperatures and clear sunny skies. Since yesterday’s FunNite format was an
irregular format, NO MAKE-UP ROUNDS WILL BE ACCEPTED and missed rounds
will not be held against you Final Tournament Eligibility. Regular Weekly Tournament format will resume
next week. Attendance at FunNites is
generally greater than average but last night did not bear that out, we had
only 46 of 56 members (82%) and 4 guests trying out the ‘3-club’
tournament and the FunNite spread that followed. A BIG THANKS goes out to Paul Ebright and the rest of his
committee; Tom Broadhurst, Skip Skufca, and Dale Sandvick for a very successful
evening!
Member attendance for the year has ticked down again to 91%, while total attendance,
including guests and make-up rounds remains 97%.

hints.

Let’s try to have our

Yesterday’s Pace of play…
Who really
cares at a FunNite “3-club’?
Just remember 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 fighting leukemia for
the past year. Last year, to help out
with medical costs, Paul and his friends put together a FUNDRAISING GOLF
OUTING that was held at Sweetbriar G.C. in Avon Lake. This year, the family hopes to “Pay it
forward” by helping out other sick kids.
Click here,
or speak with Paul Chichester for more information. Hopefully, “The Duffers” will be able to get a few foursomes
together to help out.

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+8+4+7+5+3+4+8 = 49 not 50 – Jeff Pennell
a friendly REMINDER…
It is each and every member’s personal responsibility to
insure that his own score is CORRECTLY and LEGIBLY 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.
The remaining date is:
Friday September 4th.
It is also being held
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.
'Till
Tuesday,
