You'd think scores would be better, but I guess the putts just weren't
dropping. After 15 birdies last week, there were only 3 this week, all
of which lived.
There were a few with good
scores though. Player of the week goes to Dave Peters (soon to be) of
Hilton Head, S.C. who doubled his 8 point quota with a 38, good for 16
points. And all without the aid of a birdie. During our scrumptous ribs
AND pulled pork dinner, Mike McNeice tried to get him to submit to a
drug test, and Dave did have to acknoweldge that the beta-bogey-blockers
that he's been taking are starting to show results. (Another half a
pill a day, Dave, should get rid of those bogeys on 6 and 9.)
Other players of note were Jim Egan (+4), who also doubled his quota,
John Tracy at +4 and a bird, and Frank LaRosa with 18 points and a
birdie. Frank has felt the heat of the the Young Turks gaining on him
on the money list so decided to pad his lead with a little more cash
last night. And Jim Thompson is on the comeback trail with a closest to
pin on 9 that set him up for a 5'9" birdie. Blake Willard, who has been
playing alot of good golf without alot to show for it, finally had some
good fortune by riding along with Dave's +8 to garner team honors as a
paper alternate.
Last
night payments were due for the second half and the results were, um,
pathetic. (Ten payments). After four "I forgot my checkbook" excuses, I
was almost ready for "The dog ATE my checkbook." If you think you may
have amnesia or Alzheimer's, go see a doctor, but otherwise PAY NEXT
WEEK. Anyone who does not pay next week will not be eligible for any
prize money next week.
And finally, after
working his way back last week, Bino had a little setback with his neck
and decided to put himself on the disabled list hopefully the 15 and not the 60 day. As noted golfer Jesse Jackson (big hitter, the reverend)
says: Keep hope alive!
