LIPSMACKER MATCH OF THE WEEK 

Can you believe there hasn’t been a MOW since week #9?  Vacations, Pink Ball Scramble, and here we are in Week #12.  Overall record stands at 5-7 and some would argue I could get this back on track and still achieve my goal of .500 on the season.   This week, however, is full of subs or lack of subs.  And, since I swore off putting anyone on my team in a MOW for the rest of the season, I’m going off the grid this week.  I’m picking matches that have ZERO history.  Let’s get to it.

A/B Group – Adam “Marge” Schott vs. Zeke Knechtges – Some of you new to the league may not know that Zeke was a full-time member from 2012 to 2014. During that 3 year stretch, Zeke helped his team (#teamname) to a championship in 2013.  Lifetime, Zeke has a record of 16-19-3.  The one thing Zeke does not have – a nickname, which is utterly shocking!  On the other side of the card you have Marge who is having a solid 2017 season.  His record overall is 3-2 and his team, the Young Guns, have pretty much assured themselves as the league champions.  He also gave me the MOW middle finger in week#9.  He went out and waxed Big Donkey (my MOW pick) on his way to collecting low net.  I’ve learned my lesson on picking against Schott.  GLOSSY PREDICTION: Schott wins 6.5-3.5.

C/D Group – Troy “Gobstopper” Bachman vs. Jason “Teen Wolf” Kramer – Congrats Teen Wolf! It’s extremely rare that a sub makes a MOW.  You should consider yourself lucky.  Or maybe you should wonder why I put you in the MOW.  Is it possible that you have to give Troy a shot?  And you rarely shoot below 50?  And that I want to get back to .500 in my mow record?  Nah, put all that out of your mind…just have fun tonight!  Gobstopper keeps chugging along during the 2017 sitting at a respectable 3-3.  His team (STC) currently sits in second place by a razor thin margin.  A win by Troy this week could greatly help his team extend their lead over both ROVER and Dropping Deuces.  GLOSSY PREDICTION – Troy wins 6-4.   

THE KREYLING KORNER

I’m short on time this week, so I think it’s a good time for a couple golf jokes. Enjoy!

JOKE #1

Four retired men play golf together once a week for many years. One day on 16th hole that runs along side the highway, a funeral procession drives by. One man says to the others, “Stop and remove your hats, show some respect.”

Afterward, one of the other men asked him what got into him. “I have never seen you show anybody any respect.”

The first man replied: “I was married to her for 65 years.” 

JOKE #2

A Baptist pastor decides to play hooky on a Sunday to play golf. He’s playing the best golf of his life when an angel asks God, “Are you going to let this slide? Do something!”

So God says, “Watch this.”

The pastor hits a 425-yard tee shot and the ball goes in the hole for a double eagle. The angel asks, “Why did you reward him?”

God says, “Who is he gonna tell?”

Until next week – fairways and greens my friends.
