Recap Week 7

Some like it hot, but apparently many don't, as we had a large contingent of no-shows because of the heat. (Mo money for the year-end tourney.) We were finally able to get Week 7 under our ample belts after two rainy, failed attempts. With a little breeze and then later a good wind though, it was a nice night to smack it around the hallowed grounds of Easton C.C. (New marketing slogan: Golf with an edge.) And we're happy to report that all S.I.G.L. members are now officially off double-secret probation. 

For such good conditions, there were not a lot of good scores. One notable exception though, was Jay Chapman, who had a career round at +8, and earned Team and Individual honors. John Tracy chose his partner wisely to ride shotgun to garner some Team cash. And this humble hacker was counting his Closest to Pin money, but Steve DaSaro had other ideas and stuck one even closer at 6' 6" on 4 to take the cake. Other notable rounds were turned in by Dana Willard with a +5 and T.J. who had a league-high 15 points. 

We had only seven birdies, four of which survived. Bob Frick's third shot on 2 hung on the back edge of the cup but would not fall, so he had to "settle" for a bird. Mike Kelly cashed on 3, Paul Raynard on 4, and Rick Walsh continues his improved play and collected on 5. The 9th hole was smashed. 

Due to heat-related mental fatigue and early-onset senility, this humble administrator forgot to put out the Macanudo box, so in addition to this week's wieners, there are still envelopes for Paul McDermott, Dave Naimo, and Terry Moore.

And finally, if you're in the market for a new house, I've got just the deal for you right down the street from me: Sprawling 8,000 sq. ft. crib in posh North Attleborough neighborhood. Carpets recently cleaned, although home surveillance system in need of repair. Secret closest for illegal gun stash. Current owner in the process of downsizing. All reasonable offers considered. 

See you next Tuesday

Recap Week 6

It's hard to believe that we've already blown right past the quarter pole of the season and also hard to believe that all was quiet on the Easton front this week. I guess we must have taken the advice of that great American Rodney King who used to say, "Can't we all just get along?" Boring harmony is back Easton C.C.   

   The weather and course conditions were perfect, but the putts weren't dropping like last week as we had only seven, three of which lived: Terry Moore continues his steady play and was rewarded for a birdie on 6. John MacNeil moved up the leader board with one on 8, and this humble hacker cashed on 9. (Last week there were 13 birdies on 8 and 9.) Birdies that were smashed were on 2 (Jim Thompson and and Rick Walsh) and 5 (Dave Weber and Barry,) Hard luck golfer of the year so far is Dave Weber, who gets a birdie almost every week, but has yet to cash in on one. Keep on sinking those putts, Dave, and one night you'll cash a $100 birdie. 

   Co-conspirators Ed MacNeil and Alex Turchette (Ed, I'm kidding!) teamed up smartly to take Team honors at +5 and Paul McDermott had a fine night to snag Individual at +4. Jim Thompson snuggled it close on 2 to earn Closest to the Pin cash (1"7").  

   The Jekyll and Hyde performance of the night goes to this humble hacker who started off 5 over par after three holes, triple bogeyed the 7th after a decent drive was mysteriously lost in the rough, but still managed to scratch out 16 points on the back of 2 birdies, tying wildman Mike McNeice, who parred in after a double on 1, for most points.   

   Housekeeping: We had a golfer who signed in but apparently did not play. If you sign in but do not play for some reason, please go back to the desk and cross off your name. Otherwise we are needlessly paying a greens fee. For newcomers, please note that you can not have a guest play in your place under your name. We will not pay greens fees for non-SIGL members. 

   Well, I guess with everyone on their best behavior now, there's not a lot more to report.     

    And finally, from the Random Thoughts Department: You know you are 1) getting old, and 2) not exactly on the technological cutting edge, when you're in the middle of a physical, the doctor notices your cell  phone on the table, and says, "My parents have a phone just like that. Do they still make those?" I laughed politely, and then said, "Hey, Doogie Howser, shut the hell up....and don't forget to put that damn glove on!" 
   See you next Tuesday.
