Recap written by LB

Where were all youze guys? If you're a golfer, never trust the weatherman; they miss more calls than a blind umpire. By gametime, the weather was fine and some of us even got in 24 holes. Weekly winners will be posted when we get the scorecards. All winners this week and previous winners not yet paid will be paid the day of the tourney.

Anyway, that's the regular season conclusion of S.I.G.L.'s 29th year. All told, it was a good year. We added some real talent this year, and conditions at Easton were the best they've ever been. We dispersed over $2,000 in cash prizes, with almost every golfer winning something. Thanks again to Bino who does such a great job on the website and photos. And thanks to Frank LaRosa for providing some nice gifts and prizes for the Judge Smails Cup and year-end tourney.

The year-end tournament is Sunday, 10/5/08 at 11:15 AM with banquet to follow. The charge is $50 (actual cost is $76.00) which includes greens fee, cart, and banquet. The charge to Easton C.C. members and employees will be $20. There will be an optional birdie pool and also this year, an optional "poker hand" pool. (We will post an explanation later when we figure out how the hell it works.) There will be a generous amount of cash prizes and some merchandise prizes.

Playing teams, individual quotas, and tee times will be posted soon. Please arrive early because we may be going off a little earlier than posted times. Scoring teams will be put in a hermetically-sealed jar and buried in my back yard until tourney day. (For you newcomers, the team you play with is not your scoring team.)

If you are not going to be playing, you must let us know as soon as possible. Otherwise you will mess up the teams, and also cost the league for your spot. So if we don't hear from you, we'll see you on Sunday, 10/5 at Easton C.C., New England's favorite golf and wedding destination.
