Recap…
Tuesday, July 14th
was the eleventh week of the Duffer’s 2009 season. Round two of the Match
Play Tournament ended with all matches being played. Last nights weather was perfect with pleasant 75-degree
temperatures and clear sunny skies. The
perfect weather lead to a busy Duffer evening with 51 of 56 members
(91%) and 4 guests making their way around the back nine. Member attendance for the year remains an
acceptable 91%, while total attendance,
including guests and make-up rounds is a very good 97%.
Thanks to Wayne
Reisinger, who was a BIG WINNER at FunNite #2, for the buckets-o-beers
after yesterday’s round. Drink up guys!

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
~55 members + guests and the NASA league ahead of us; the Duffers
MUST play READY GOLF!
Ready Golf
means BEING READY to play, not playing when you're ready. Here are some simple
hints.

Let’s try to have our
first group on the tee box by 4:15, right behind the NASA group.
Yesterday’s Pace of play was very good at the front of the pack. Our first group {Bob King, Bill Lilley, Alex Martinez, and Norm
Dickson (guest)} got around the back nine in a remarkable 2:01. Unfortunately our last group (Mickey Lima
and Jack Tabor) didn’t fare quite as well.
The SIX matches that were being playing ahead of them might have had
something to do with the slower than desired pace of play. Daylight is starting to slip away from us. We are losing about five minutes of daylight
each week and in just a few weeks we will once again be struggling to finish
before dark. Please allow our “back-of-the-pack
players” to finish before sunset by playing ready golf and playing quickly.
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.
7+6+5+7+7+6+6+4+6 = 54 not 52 – Chuck Bartsche
47-10 = 37 not 36 – Tom Broadhurst
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.
