We've lost a lot of club head speed over the years.

Greetings Fellow Duffers

OK, so where was I....it has been 3 weeks since our last points outing and a full report from your statman. We had a rainout at Golden Oaks on 7/9, and a low turnout at Bella Vista on 7/16, which cancelled the points events for both weeks.

Well, guess what, make it 3 weeks in a row. We had 9 signed up for Rich Maiden, but only 6 showed up and played, nullifying the points for 3 weeks in a row.

We have 24 Duffers on the roster. A quick rundown looks like we have 6 regular players, 8 part-timers that play some weeks, 6 on the injury (or wife illness) list, and 6 that rarely or do not play anymore. It has been a rough year for turnout, and the month of July have taken a toll on the participation.

None the less, had this week counted for points, here are the unqualified results. Pete Champagne had a heck of a round, (of course, when points do not count!) shooting low gross 75 and low net 64. Would have been worth 3 points! Schmehl played well too with a 95/65 one stroke behind Champagne. Had the points counted, Goserud and Schmehl would be tied for the lead at 18, Diane, Beers, and Champagne at 17. Oh well.

It was a nice day at the Maiden, weather was fall-like with mid-80's temps and low humidity. Course was dry and starting to turn brown in the fairways. Greens were in good shape and putted at reasonable speeds.

Dinner afterwards was the Leary picnic of subs, chips, pretzels, and ice cream. Sadly only 7 of us were there. A nice evening on the patio under the umbrellas. Thanks Brian, glad you did not have to sweat at the grill for 7 cheeseburgers.

Next week is Lebanon's Fairview. As of Sunday, only 7 are signed up and we are possibly heading for 4 weeks of no points.

Zooyks!
