    WEEK 12 CTP:   2ND HOLE


  When did we get so good all of a sudden? Continuing a nice trend, we again had some very fine golf played by many SIGLers.

  On the hottest of streaks is the great Joe Curtis, who turned in another stellar performance this week with a crisp 36 (one bird, seven pars, one bogey) for an impressive +9, which will earn him Individual honors.

   Also sharing the podium this week is Terry Thompson, who exploded for three birdies, a 37, and an outstanding +8. And since there is a little room left on the podium, up steps Scott Silvia, who as Terry's partner, had maybe his best night ever with a 39, good for 16 points and his own +8. We're having SIGL archivists rummage through old records as we speak, but Terry and Scott's +16 might be a league record.

  As expected, there were a lot of fine approach shots into the 9th pin, but the one that outshines the others is Greg Willard's 8'1" to capture the Closest to the Pin prize.

  Again, there was a bushel of birdie putts (16 this week) that were drained, but only two will produce a reward. Bob Loring continues his fine play and will collect for his birdie on 2, and Terry Thompson really had the putter working as he had three birdies on the night, and will be paid for his survivor on 9. (Interestingly, none of the close-in attempts found the hole, so it took Terry's bomb from downtown to split the pot with Bob.) Holes 3,4,5,6, and 8 were birdied by two or more players.

  Other notables for the night include John Tracy and Mark Nolan at +6, Jim Egan and Ryan Burke at +5, Dave Weber and Tom Nolan at +4, and Jim Shannon, Paul McDermott, and Dan Svirsky who all came in at +3. Highpointer for the night was Terry Thompson with 20.

  Odds and Ends:

  Payment for the second half was due this week. If you have not paid by the end of the night next week, you will be dropped from the sign-in sheet, and become just a vague memory.

  Mark Nolan may not have won anything with his fine +6 this week, but he did cash big in the Easton CC British Open pool with his prescient picks instead. His combo of Mickelson, McIlroy, and Garcia came in at a winning -25 total. Nice job Mark.

  And finally, a hearty welcome back next week for SIGLer Steve Anderson who underwent heart valve replacement surgery three months ago, and is now ready to rejoin the team better than ever. Welcome back Steve!

  See you next Tuesday.


  THAT EXTRA PUTTING PRACTICE THAT TERRY THOMPSON HAS MANAGED TO  SQUEEZE IN IS REALLY STARTING TO PAY OFF!
