Commissioner Booted From League

During a hastily called meeting, league members voted overwhelmingly to boot the Commissioner from the UW Employee Golf League.  Meeting organizer Mike Sanders was delighted with the outcome.  “We need a commissioner who can interpret the rules as I see them.  This bum cost Team Raymer a second half point that could have cost us the title.  The current Commissioner needs to go.”

Some other league members shared their reactions…..

Chad Shultz:  “He told everyone that I was leading for season low average early in the season.  That is like pointing out a pitcher has a no hitter going – it isn’t done.  We need a commissioner with better sense.”

Dave Rieves:  “True that he led our team in wins, but several were due to scaring off opponents with threats to get them fired if they beat him.  I don’t want to win that way.”

Steve Smith:  “I heard that there was one time when someone bought him a beer and he took it home.  Who needs someone like that in the league.”

Mike Warren:  “After stinking it up on the course for most of the 2015 season, the jerk shot a 36 against me.  That was just rude.”

Mike Kraus:  “He’s been dead to me ever since he abandoned our team to help form Team Rieves.  I say good riddance.”

Jake Holler:  “I am tired of my bad shots, broken clubs, and x-rays becoming internet fodder.  We need a commissioner who is more considerate.”

Pat Fahey:  “I am hoping this frees up his time to become my full-time press agent.”

The Commissioner:  “I realized that following in the footsteps of Dave Rieves and Dave Wolfe would be a significant challenge.  The next commissioner won’t have as difficult an act to follow, and I wish him well.”

The Commissioner will fulfill his duties for this season and train his replacement.  League members are jockeying for a shot to be the next commissioner.  The competition is expected to be fierce.

The Regular Season Ends

For the second straight week, a full field of 40 golfers took on Glenway Golf Course for the final time for the 2015 season.  Despite managing only 2.5 points, Team Raymer held on for the second half title.  Parity ruled during the season's second half with just 9 points separating first and tenth place.

For the first time in memory, two teams averaged a collective score of less than 40 (Team Warren at 38.75 and Team Rieves at 39.5).  Mike Williams shot a 34 to pace the six golfers who broke 40.  Jeff Dvorak saved his best round of the year for the final night, shooting a net 24 (funny how these rounds suddenly appear for Jeff during the end of season flight tournament).

Teams Warren and Raymer will face off for the league title, and the winner will be announced at the banquet on September 15.  It appears we will have a good turnout.
