Week 4 Pairings - May 17

Tuesday's pairings are below. The Warren team is golfing Monday night due to a work function Tuesday. The Rieves team will golf as a foursome at 5:52 on Tuesday.

In other Warren team news, one of their new golfers has broken his leg playing softball (against league rules - read the bylaws!) and they are in need of a new golfer for the season. Please let Mike Warren (and me) know if you know of anybody interested in filling in for the season.

If you haven't yet paid me your $25 league dues, please do so on Tuesday. I'm in the early group, so I'll be at the clubhouse when you finish your round. If I don't get your dues on Tuesday, I'm going to pay Jack Loew 50% of whatever he can collect by following you around in a golf cart and yelling at you.

Week 3 Results

Clearly, Mr. Snow Miser and Mr. Heat Miser are using us as pawns in some eternal battle for domination of Wisconsin. This Tuesday, Mr. Heat Miser won out.

---

So, umm, this is a little embarrassing. Tuesday night, when score cards were turned into me, I was stunned by the scores of a Kraus-Miller foursome, to the point that I read them aloud to the rest of the lingerers - 33, 34, 34, and 37! I dutifully added those awesome scores to Chris Weber's slightly less awesome 38 and handed them to Bill Scheer to phone into the newspaper.

I was equally stunned when I started entering their scores into my spreadsheet and found their actual scores were 40, 40, 44, and 45. Good scores, to be sure, but maybe not newspaper-worthy. It turns out I was reading their net scores, which they had written on the card. So Lynn, Andy, Doug, and Jeff - I take back all the wonderful things I said about your scores (and now you know why I was making a big deal about them).

---

So, actual results and standings are now posted on the blog. The Millers used a sweep to catapult past the Webers into first place, but it's tight, with the McEvillys right behind. It's very early, though, and nobody is more than two sweeps from first.

I still need the $25 entry fee from a few of you - catch you next week.

Also, some foursomes did not write their finish time on the cards. Please remind the scorekeepers in your foursome of this responsibility next week. Times were pretty good, and the groups were pretty close together, but the last group still came in under pretty dark skies.

See you next Tuesday.

Week 3 Pairings - May 10

We're expecting a 30 degree temperature jump from last Tuesday, with the forecast calling for a high of 77.

Please bring your $25 entry fee this week and track me down to pay me. I'll be the one with $20 bills falling out of my pockets. I also have prize balls for Hopkins, McEvilly, Moritz (the Elder), Taylor, and Zimmerman. Please step right up and claim your prizes.

A couple other reminders . . .

• First group needs to take out the prize stakes and the last group needs to bring them in.
• When you get off the 9th green, head into the clubhouse to check the time, and write it down on your scorecard.
  

Here are the pairings.

Steve McDonnell	10		Dave Delveaux	9

The Coldest Winter I Ever Saw . . .

. . . was a summer at Glenway.

- Not Mark Twain

So, Week 2 is in the books (Week 1 having peeked out from its hole, seen its shadow, and crawled back in).

Despite the season starting one week late, it crept up on me and I was woefully unprepared. Thankfully, the league - beginning it's 54th season - is practically on autopilot now, and nary a death (or even injury) was reported Tuesday night. Success!

Apparently the 2011 golf styles range from khaki shorts to five layers of clothing and stocking caps. I saw several hats that, I believe, came with free bowls of soup.

Who was unfazed by the Arctic blast? The Daves! Delveaux and Rieves (not Wolfe - have you not been paying attention?) posted a 38 and 39, respectively, to lead the way. In addition, Lynn Paulson, Andy Taylor, and Chris Weber rolled in at 40.

The newly constructed Weber team, along with the Kraus team, jump out to an early lead in the standings - each gaining 9.5 points over the first two weeks.

However, none of that matters. What is really astounding is that the final group on Tuesday came in before the sun went down! Times were pretty good Tuesday. There were a couple large gaps between groups. I'll collect the data for the first half of the season and see if any trends emerge. Thanks for keeping the pace up in week 1. Let's continue to keep it up once the sun comes out.

Note to Chris Weber: Thanks for the beer after our round. I bought you one, too, but you were gone so I drank it. The way I see it, we're even.

Next week: Please bring your $25 entry fee if you didn't this week. I got it from almost half of you in week 1. I golf late on Tuesday, but I'll be there for the first tee time.
