WEEK 3 CTP:                          6TH HOLE


  Like a lawn mower that's been in the shed all winter, our season got off to a sputtering start. But the weather and our game appear to be heating up, so it looks as though we're beginning to run on all cylinders.

  Scores were much improved from Week 1, with 32 players meeting or exceeding quota. At the forefront was rookie Rich Harding, who had an outstanding +5 to take 1st Individual. Second goes to Jim Lyons at +3, who won a tie-breaker with TJ James.

  But T still found a way onto the money list with a 1st Team win with his +3 and partner Rick Walsh's solid +1 for a +4. The Portugese National team of Lou Silva (+2) and Scott Silvia (+2) lost the tie-breaker on hole 5, and will settle for 2nd Team honors. Individual winner Rich Harding was well positioned to take the Team prize, but like the final card you draw in a poker hand, his partner was no help.

  It looked like the pride of Everett, Steve Lozzi, was going to take Closest honors on the 4th hole, but the last last player of the night to tee it up, the aforementioned Mr. Silva, striped one in to 6' 6" to snatch the dough out of Steve's waiting hand.

  We had a modest seven birdies for the night, but the shot of all shots was off the stick of the genial Terry Thompson on the 8th hole. After placing a drive 80 yards out, Terry cooly deposited his next shot into the hole for an eagle 2. Well done TT!

  This humble hacker salvaged something out of an otherwise miserable night with a tap-in birdie skin  on 2. The always steady Greg Paone jumped onto the money list his playing partner Silva with a skin on 3, and rookie Ed Leach is already showing up his sponsor Mike Bradley with a crisp birdie on the difficult 5th hole. With T Thompson's eagle on 8, Greg Willard's birdie was for naught, and 9 was covered by G. Willard, TJ, and Jim Shannon.

  Highpointer for the night was Terry Thompson with 15. The only other notables were Steve DaSaro and Johnny Fay, both at +2. With only two weeks played, we already have 19 players on the money list.

  A belated welcome aboard to the passel of newcomers: Dan McGarry, Steve Danieli, Martin Enright, Ed Reagan, Peter Frasca, Bob Jones, Rich White, Rich Harding, Pat Heffernan, Sean Knowles, and Ed Leach, And welcome back to Bino, Mike Nolan, and Greg Paone.

  And finally, for those of us who are still suffering from early-season swing sickness, don't forget to make an appointment with Dr. Rob Citrano, who guarantees to cure what ails you.

  See you next Tuesday.

  YEAH, BUT ROB, WHY DO I HAVE TO WEAR A JOHNNY?
