AND IN OTHER NEWS....

    After 31 years at the helm, (with one year off, 2014, for good behavior) I have decided to accept the SIGL Executive Committee's generous golden parachute offer, and will be retiring from administering the league. 

    We were prepared to begin a nation-wide search for  a suitable replacement complete with a grueling interview process......


SIGL INTERVIEWER:    So, I can tell by looking at

                                      you that you are breathing.                              

APPLICANT:                   Yes, I am.

SIGL INTERVIEWER:    Great! When can you start?                


  But, there will be no need for that since Mr. J. Gregory Paone has generously agreed to step up again and take the reins. And TJ has agreed to stay on as an able-bodied assistant. They can be reached at paonejg@yahoo.com and tjgolfer@aol.com. 

  It all began in the late 1970's or early '80's when Sam Solari, Earl Cain, and Bob Thompson, owners of small Stoughton industrial companies (sheet metal, machine shops, etc.) decided that for their benefit and that of their employees, they would start a small golf league at Cedar Hill Golf Course in Stoughton, and thus was born the Stoughton Industrial Golf League. After a couple of years at Cedar Hill, they moved the league to Easton Country Club, where it has been ever since. So for almost 40 straight years, SIGL golfers have been teeing it up every Tuesday during the season at Easton. No doubt the league began with a dozen or so participants and by 2021 we had an all-time high of 68 players on the roster.  

  Throughout the years, there have been hundreds of golfers who have been on the SIGL roster at one time or another. But only a select few can say they have been around since almost the beginning. A tip of the cap to my esteemed playing partners Brian Murphy and Ed Finn, who are the longest tenured SIGLers, having joined the league in the mid-eighties (35+ years). And an honorable mention to our other partner Rick Walsh, and the team of Alex Turchette, Joe Curtis, John MacNeil, and Ed MacNeil who all can claim almost three decades of continuous SIGL play. 

   From the beginning, I have always had valuable assistance, and would like to acknowledge and thank friends Ed Solari, John Carrabino, Greg Paone, and TJ for their support through the years. And a special thanks to Bino for starting the website way back when. 

    The founding principles of the league were to have a weekday activity where the guys could look forward to getting together, play some golf, have some fun, yet in a stimulating competitive format. Through the years, we have striven to keep those principles in mind. 

     So, a new chapter begins and let's hope everyone is back for a great 2022 season. See ya then. 


                       THANKS FOR THE MAMMARIES

                                                 


                 SORRY, THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES
