   WK 2 CTP:       3RD HOLE


     Well, we held off starting the season for as long as we could, but it was still sloppy out there, although nothing compared to a couple of weeks ago. Playing from the Combination tees has met with widespread approval, although it didn't do much for our scores, as only 16 out 51 entrants exceeded quota. 

    But we did have a handful of players who were in midseason form. Easy Ed Finn came out of the gate in fine fashion with a birdie, 17 points, and a +6 performance. After a double bogey on 1, he was even par for the rest of the front. His partner Steve Danieli contributed a fine +3 himself, and they will take 1st Team honors at +9. Dan Svirsky shook off some tough early season rounds with an outstanding +5, and his mate Mayhem Mike (Bradley) threw in a +1 to secure 2nd Team at +6.

   Veteran SIGLer Terry Thompson kicked off the season as a new Easton CC member along with playing partner and friend Jim Shannon in good form with a superb +6 to earn the 1st Individual prize. His bogey on 1 was good enough to win a card-off with Ed Finn, who will take the 2nd Individual cash.  

   Steve Lozzi and Company were the first SIGLers on the course and Steve promptly set the standard for Closest to Pin on the 2nd hole with a nifty approach to 8 feet. It survived for a long time, until Mr. Rich White came along and stuck one to 2'4" to earn the prize. 

   Although the greens had been aerated and were otherwise pretty rough (TJ described the ball bouncing its way to the hole like playing plinko), somehow we had a respectable 14 birdies on the 
front side, with four paying cash money. Billy Doonan came out like gangbusters and promptly birdied the first hole to take a quarter of the pot ($28). Rich White sunk his two-footer on 2, and for good measure, added another on 4. Right before teeing off, Rich paid his first half dues, and after four holes on day one, had earned back the whole thing, plus some. RAW talent. Birdies on 3 (Svirsky, Thompson, Loring, Lozzi), 6 (Danieli, Hrenko), and 9 (Leach, Simmons, Svirsky, J. MacNeil) did not survive. 

  The back nine skins pool yielded only three birds, and two were smashed on 13 by Rich White and Mike Leonard. So that leaves Steve Danieli taking the whole $106 with his score of 3 on the 12th hole. 

   Players who had a good night but did not share in any cash prizes include Steve Lozzi and Ed Leach at +3, and Ted Meyer, Paul Raynard, Bill Simmons, and Peter Frasca, all at +2. Ed Finn takes Highpointer honors with 17. 

   A hearty SIGL welcome goes out to newcomers Bill Simmons and Ned Babyak. If you need to know how things work, just ask 
Sully, (who will ask somebody else.) 

   And finally, there were way too many SIGL members who played Tuesday but did not pay their first half dues. Anyone who played Tuesday but did not pay will not be eligible for any competition or prize money next week, unless a check accompanies your scorecard in the cigar box. No excuses, not matter how "creative" (translation: bullshit) will be accepted. 

  See you next Tuesday.
