Recap Week 9

 Another fine night at Easton C.C. with the rain holding off, attendance was high, and a lot of good golf was played. Alex Turchette, trying to keep up with the Joneses, I mean the MacNeils, had his best night of the year to take Individual honors at +5. Teammates Jim Lyons and Paul Begley were both on their game and earned the Team prize at +7. And Rick Walsh look-alike Joe Curtis continued his Closest to Pin mastery with 9'2" on Hole 8. 

     There were 10 birdies, but only two held up. Larry Anshewitz jumped onto the money board with $50 bird on 3, and steady Steve Lozzi sunk a birdie on 7 to earn the same. Covered birdies were at 4 (Begley, Peters), 6 (Barry, LaRosa), 8 (Curtis, McDermott), and 9 (Walsh, J. Fay.) Hard luck golfer of the week goes to John Fay who had his 8th birdie of the year, but has yet to cash. And Mark Spears had an impressive night at +4. 

      Shot of the day goes to Rick Walsh who put his approach shot to within 10 feet of the first pin. Problem was, he was playing the   13th hole at the time. How could that possibly happen, you ask? He hit a moon shot over 13 green, hit the cart path and bounced like a superball onto the 1st green. Just another green in regulation for R.W.   

     And we have the curious case of three of our golfers who signed in, teed off on 1, and, like pilots over the Bermuda Triangle, were never seen again, possible victims of a para-normal abduction. The Easton C.C. elite ranger unit, while skilled in covert operations, is also trained in the investigative sciences, and they are now on the case. 

     

     Public Service Announcement: The British Open is fast approaching and, as usual, there will be a pool for recreational purposes at Easton. Pick three golfers; best combined score wins. If interested see T.J. on Tuesday. 

     The Federal Bureau of Prisons, I mean the U.S. Postal Service, is at it again; Our man Bino has been a dedicated public servant for over 25 years and they won't even give him two hours of his own time off on Tuesdays, so he had to miss another week. What is this, Russia? Sons of bitches! But there's light at the end of the tunnel: Bino's parole date is less than two years away. 

I'd like to add how nice it is driving around in my easy bake oven and the work place is like sitting in on the Whitey Bulger trial with F-Bombs being thrown all over the place. Ah yes, two more years. I'll just keep popping my serenity now pills.

    And finally,  Easton C.C. enforcement agents were out on patrol this week, and we're happy to report that there were no arrests or incidents, and no Code 426 violations: Possession of a controlled substance - package store Bud Light, although we did have two upstanding SIGLers who were detained for questioning on priors.  

    See you next Tuesday.
