  Our run of good Tuesday weather continues and so does our good play. Star of the day this week is Dan Svirsky, who tied his Easton CC career low round with a 75, and for the league nine, a super even par 36, good for 19 points and a +9. Also, having his best night of the year was Greg Willard with his own 19 points, for a nice +7. 

  Dan had more than enough from his partner, Dana Willard, who chipped in with his own +4 to easily take 1st Team at +13. Willard the Younger's partner also did not disappoint as Mark Spears posted a solid +1 to take 2nd Team at +8.

   There were numerous tight shots into the 8th Hole, but none better than Ed Finn's 7'9" as he took Closest to Pin honors.

   There were a healthy 14 birdies on the front, three of which will be rewarded with cash. Lou Silva made up for a wayward tee ball on 4 with a pitch-in from the pine straw flat behind the hole to record a deuce, Greg Willard will add to his Team and Individual prizes with a skin on the 5th, and Scott Silvia continues his fine play, and this week will get paid for his birdie on 7. The 2nd (Loring, M. Silva), 3rd (Bourne, Paone), 6th (Frasca, Svirsky). 8th (Finn, Bourne), and the 9th (L. Silva, G. Willard, Paone) were smashed. 

  The Back Nine skins pool continues to grow, and this week, we had 29 entrants. Rich White took only two shots to complete the 10th hole for the rare par-4 eagle, ace Chris Regan cashed with a birdie on 14, Bob Loring capped off an outstanding night with a winning bird on 15, and his partner Steve Lozzi was not to be outdone, so did the same on the 16th. As usual, the 13th hole had a few (Mark Nolan, Silvia, Regan.) 

  Outstanding but unlucky performers this week were Mike Sweet at +6, Wayne Musgrove (+5) and Babyak, Meyer, Paone, and Simmons all at +4. 

  Just the Facts Ma'am: To dispel the mistaken notion that playing from the combination tees is too easy for the top flight, long-hitting players, and that they are eating up the white tee holes, here are some interesting numbers: Through 11 weeks, there have been a total of 108 birdies and one eagle on the front nine. But only 16 of them have been from white tee holes. 

                                           Birdies   

                 Blue Tees                                          White Tees

Hole  2          14                                     Hole  1         3
Hole  3          14                                     Hole  5         6
Hole  4            9                                     Hole  7         7
Hole  6          15
Hole  8          19 and 1 eagle
Hole  9          21

Total              92 and 1 eagle                                     16

  There have been 1,815 chances for birdies this year from white tee holes (an average of 55 golfers x 11 weeks x 3 holes) and there has been a total of 16 birdies, half of which are from non-A flight players, so no, the long hitters are not exactly bringing Easton to its knees from the white tees.   

  And again, SIGLers continue to really shine in Easton club tournaments. This week, congratulations to TJ James and Paul McDermott as part of the 1st place foursome. And a tip of the cap to the T2nd place foursome of Saul Payne, Steve Lozzi, Mike Sweet, and Mike Silva. And nabbing 4th, were Bob Loring, Greg Paone, and Rich White. Nice job men. 

  And finally, there was an extremely unsatisfactory 19 players who did not pay 2nd half dues as required this week. Your scores and other results will not be counted next week unless your delinquent payment is in the box by the end of the night. And for the two players who won money this week but have not paid their dues, don't be asking the desk for an envelope until you are paid up. 

  See you next Tuesday.
