Recap Week 4

I have scheduled a psychologist and Butch Harmon to come and fix the mind and the swing of our fearless leader Larry Barry. A golfers nightmare has snuck up and caused a problem that we all fear, the dreaded shank. I knew something was wrong when I looked over from the 2nd to the 5th fairway and could hear Larry yelling SERENITY NOW.....SERENITY NOW. Jim Thomson has the next appointment as he's playing so bad we left him off the list for team competition.
The round of the week goes to Dana Willard as he had his best round of the year and collected top honors. Ed MacNeil did not show up so the 3rd hole was not birdied, but 5 of the 9 were and none were knocked out. McKenna continues to stick his hand out to collect his weekly winnings and is on pace to top last years money. I have ordered some warmer weather so we should be all set in the weeks to come. Brrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!

Recap Week 3

I repeat to myself tempo and rhythm and what I continue to do is hack and spray. I sucked, just like the horse "Take the Points" I drew out of a hat for the Preakness. They had to put blinders on him because he was losing focus, it didn't work he came in last, but enough about myself lets get to the people who are playing well. The round of the week goes to Ed MacNeil who in the early going owns the 3rd hole and it continues to pay dividends. MacNeil had the hat-trick collecting individual, team, and birdie money and jumping to second in earnings for the year. Stefanick refuses to let his playing partners drag his game down, he continues to play steady golf. There was a Jim Lyons sighting as he makes his "09" debut and made his quotas points with ease. Welcome back Jim, as for the rest of us like the Taylor Made commercial says "find your game". I looked in the woods and it's not there.

SIGL General Rules

Some areas to clarify are:
Preferred Lies: (Local Rule ) You may play a preferred lie, no closer to the hole, in your own fairway. Anywhere else on the course (“through the green”) you must play the ball as it lies. Plugged Ball: (U.S.G.A. Rule) A ball plugged in its own plughole may be lifted, cleaned and dropped without penalty anywhere on the course except a hazard. Note: You cannot use this rule to get relief from a bad lie; the ball must be stuck in a hole created by its own impact. Out of Bounds: (U.S.G.A.) One stroke penalty and distance. This means hitting your next shot from the same place you hit your last shot. Do not go up to where the ball when out of bounds and play from there. When in doubt, play a provisional. LostBall not Out of Bounds: (Local) One stroke penalty but no distance penalty. Ex,A: If you hit a ball over the green on the 4th hole that you can’t find, drop in the approximate location of the: lost ball. You do not have to go back to the tee to hit. This keeps play moving. This does not apply if the ball is lost Out of Bounds (White Stakes.Taking a Drop: (U.S.G.A.) When taking relief with no penalty (obstruction, etc.) drop within one club length, no closer to the hole. When taking a penalty stroke (unplayable lie, etc.) drop within two club lengths, no closer to the hole. Hazards: (U.S.G.A.) A hazard is any sand bunker or water hazard. A ball cannot be lifted or touched in a hazard without penalty. (Exception: relief from casual water in a sand bunker.) A club cannot be grounded in a hazard. If a ball is unplayable or lost in a lateral water hazard (red), you can drop to the side of the hazard. If it is marked yellow, you must drop behind the hazard. Putting: (U.S.G.A. and Local) Every ball must be holed out during the league nine holes. There are no gimmees or pick-ups unless you have already maxed out. All damage to the green, including spike marks, may be repaired. You get relief, no closer to the hole, for obstructions (sprinklerhead), casual water, and severely damaged areas.

Recap Week 2

It was like starting all over again for most of us, but it was good to get back out there and hopefully we can all start getting into some sort of groove. Week 1 I met Tom James "one of our new members" and he had one of the Shondells with him, but not last night. I met 4 more members at the 19th hole and although 2 are just beginning there golf careers, they both managed to par the 19th. Last week was a rain out and a reminder to all the best way to find out if we are playing is to call the course. The number is 508 238 2500, put it in your cell phones.
I'll post a copy of the SIGL rules for our new members.
The round of the week goes to Rich McKenna with birdies of 5 & 6 to help him get to +3 and top honors for the week. He is our new money leader jumping ahead of Rick Walsh, who in all the years I've been in this league never had any luck with birdies that lived and now has had back to back weeks. I'm thinking there must have been a full moon.
The birdie pool money is now $52 per week.
