WEEK 17 CTP:        2ND HOLE


  Well this week, we either didn't show up or, if we did, shouldn't have bothered. For some reason there were only 41 SIGLers who teed it up, and collectively we had our worst performance since our early-season rounds. There were only eight entrants who managed to exceed +1, and amazingly, there were only four teams that finished on the positive side of the ledger, and only three birdies were sunk on the frontside. 

  Leading the way of the few standouts were Mike Leonard and Bill Simmons at an impressive +5 each. The tie-breaker went to Hole 7 and all it took was a bogey for Mr. Leonard to claim 1st Individual honors. 

  Mike was in good position for a Team win and partner Brian Murphy did not disappoint as his +2 contribution added to Leonard's +5 to take the 1st Team prize. 

  For the second week in a row Len Lima was in a tie for 2nd Team, and, like last week, his partnership prevailed in a card-off. The team of Lima (+4) and Ed Finn (+2) matched the +6 of Bill Simmons (+5) and Ted Meyer (alt) (+1), but all it took were two bogeys by Lima/Finn on 1 to break the tie. 

  Mr. Finn added to his Team win prize money with a fine approach to the 9th Hole pin to 14'7" that held up all day and will take Closest to Pin honors, Ed's third CTP prize this year. 

  With all the poor scoring this week, there was an anemic three birdies on the frontside, and all will live. Greg Willard continues his solid play and will take a third of the pot with his birdie on 5, Bill Simmons is rewarded for his exclusive bird on 8, and Mike Leonard will collect for his 4 on 9. 

  We were a little more productive on the back nine, and six birdie attempts found their mark. Ed Finn added even more to his account with a dandy pitch-in on 10, and Bob Loring made up for a disappointing frontside with a fine bird on 15 that will split the take with Big Ed. The 11th hole was smashed by Bob Loring and Jim Shannoon, and 13 did not survive with birds by Dan McGarry and Johnny MacNeil. 

  As noted, overall scores were, ah..... bad. Aside from those who collected cash, the only other notables were Mike Nolan at +3, and Mark Spears, Paul Raynard, and Dan Szczurko, each at +2. Highpointer honors are split between Ed Finn, Bob Bourne, Bill Simmons, and John MacNeil at 14 points. 

  And finally, we have only two weeks of league play left, and then the year-end tournament on Sunday, October 13th. There is a tourney sign-up sheet at the front desk. Please make sure to sign up if you are playing or to write "Not Playing" if you cannot make it. Thanks. 

  See you next Tuesday.
