Kreyling Korner – Week #3 – May 28, 2020
THE LIPSMACKER MATCH OF THE WEEK
Bachmann with the shellacking of Almeida in week 1. I’ll take a 1-0 start to the MOW!
Week 3 MOW – Pete “Goldie” Goldenberg vs. Nick “Potter” Duer – Week 2 started with a great match from the C/D group; week 3 gives us what might be an even better match in the A/B group. In reviewing the head-to-head matches this week, I was shocked when I saw the Goldie vs Potter overall record, 6-0-1. Don’t get me wrong, Pete is a great golfer. But Duer has the sweetest swing in the league, and you would think in the past 10 years (their first meeting was in 2010) that Duer would squeeze out 1 win. Is history or current form a better reflection of how this match will play out this year? Both men are coming of a championship season, and looking only at one week of match play, net 37s by both men indicate strong form early in 2020. It’s very early in the 2020 campaign, but both men could use the W. Pete to keep his team squarely in contention for the championship and Nick to help his team inch out of the bottom feeders.
GLOSSY PREDICTION – I find it interesting that these two have never played on the Pioneer Back. Does this course fit better for Duer or does Pete continue his winning ways? I think Nick has been playing strong since last season, and in my brief conversation with him last week on the driving range, he’s already played a lot of golf in 2020. Give him two strokes and I think he gets the best of Pete for the first time. Potter wins 6-4.
THE KREYLING KORNER
Let’s do some golf jokes in week 3. Here are a couple I saved over the off-season.
Joke #1
A man got on a bus, with both of his front pant pockets full of golf balls and sat down next to a beautiful blonde.
The blonde kept looking quizzically at him and his obviously bulging pants.
Finally, after many such glances from her, he said, “Its golf balls.”
The blonde looked at him compassionately and said, “Oh you poor thing. I bet that hurts a whole lot worse than tennis elbow?”
Joke #2
Dear Abby,
I’ve never written to you before, but I really need your advice. I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signals, the phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up.
My wife has been going out with ‘the girls’ a lot recently, although when I ask their names she always says, ‘Just some friends from work, you don’t know them.’
I always try to stay awake to look out for her coming home, but I usually fall asleep. Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just didn’t want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her.
Around midnight, I decided to hide in the garage behind my golf clubs so I could get a good view of the
whole street when she arrived home from a night out with ‘the girls’.
When she got out of the car she was buttoning up her blouse, which was open, and she took her panties out of her purse and slipped them on. It was at that moment, crouching behind my clubs, that I noticed that the graphite shaft on my driver appeared to have a hairline crack right by the club head.
Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the pro shop where I bought it?
Until next week – fairways and greens my friends.
