  HIGHPOINTER:                 LEN LIMA                            15 PTS


   Maybe it was the schizo weather (sun/rain/rain/sun) that kept duffers away, but for whatever reason, we had only 39 contestants this week. But for those of us who showed up, we had our best performance of the year, with only eight players not reaching their quota.

   The unsinkable Lenny Lima led the way this week, and will be collecting for the fourth time this year. Len was proceeding along with a steady round, and then finished with a flourish with birdies on 8 and 9 to return a robust 15 points and a +7. That was enough to secure 1st Individual and to also lead his partnership with alternate Jay Chapman (E) to 1st Team at +7. 

   Mike Leonard continues his torrid play with a strong +5 to take 2nd Individual. And hats off to Mike the Mechanic for his career low round of 76 in non-SIGL play last week.  

   We had a traffic jam for 2nd Team with four teams at +5: (Mark Nolan/Tom Nolan) (Alex Turchette/Terry Thompson) (John Fay/Terry Thompson, alt) and (Paul Begley/Joe Curtis). Begley and Curtis prevailed on the hardest holes, and will take the card-off prize. 

   The pin was tucked in a tough spot behind the bunker on 4 this week, so no one was able to stick it tight. But Joe Curtis hit a fine shot to 20' 5" which was enough to repel all challengers for Closest to Pin honors. 

  We had a total of only seven birdies this week, and three will be cashing. Mark Nolan took advantage of the inviting 3rd hole with a surviving bird, Eric Aronson recorded an impressive 3 on the 5th hole, and Len Lima had one of his birds pay with a 4 on the 9th. The 8th hole was thoroughly covered by Lima, White, Leonard, and Fay. 

   Notable scores posted that were not rewarded with cash were Alex Turchette and Johnny Fay at +4, and Scott Silvia, Steve Danieli, and Paul Raynard at +3. Len Lima will take highpointer honors with 15. 

   There was a $90 pot for the back-nine skins pool, and again this week every birdie on the back will be rewarded with cash. Thompson, Lozzi, Barry, and James in order birdied 12, 13, 14, and 15.

   One SIGLer has asked that we mention the issue of unrepaired ball marks on greens, and we have to agree with him. This is certainly not a problem unique to SIGL or even to Easton CC. But as this player points out, he plays late and by the time he is on the course he sees numerous fresh unrepaired ball marks on every hole. After your ball is on the green, mark it, and then look for and repair your ball mark. And don't forget fairway divots, too. 

    Glad to see that Doctor Saul is recuperating nicely, and will be returning to the links this weekend. 

     And finally, a heart-felt thanks to Ted Meyers' better half for the beautiful hollow-book wooden box decorated in a golf theme that she made for the league, and which will replace the well-used Arturo Fuentes cigar box that we have had for many years. It's really cool, so check it out. Thanks, Wanda. (And we thought Teddy was the crafty one!) 

    See you next Tuesday.

HEY HONEY, MAKE SOMETHING NICE FOR THE GOLF LEAGUE, WILL YA? MAYBE THEY'LL REDUCE MY QUOTA

OKAY, BUT LEAVE MY FABRIC SCISSORS ALONE
