Recap Week 17

The season is winding down with 3 weeks to go. Tuesday we only had 2 people make their quotas while everone else had an off night. The humidity was stifling, but one happy camper is our fearless leader who's birdie on 5 was the only one that held to propel him up the money leader board. The year end tournament might be changed to an earlier date, the official word is not in yet and I'll post it as soon as I know. Questions have come up about quotas. I take your best scores out of the weeks that you played and average it out just like the USGA does. Example is you played 16 weeks I take your best 8 scores.

The finalists


Stefanick could not wait to get the cup on

Judge Smails Cup Winners


Bob Fitzpatrick and Frank Stefanick

Recap Week 16

The Judge Smails Cup had Ed Finn and Rick Walsh facing newcomer Bob Fitzgerald and 2nd year player Frank Stefanick. Walsh had championship experience, but that did not scare this duo. Stefanick was hot coming in, but on this day it was all about Fitzpatrick. Finn and Walsh had cruised into the finals playing their best golf to date. The match quickly went in favor of Stefanick and Fitzpatrick after a near eagle on 2 for Stefanick and a tap in birdie to go 2 up. Walsh and Finn get one back on 4 only to lose it on 5. Walsh gets it back to 1 after 6. Fitzpatrick pars the 7th net birdie it's back to 2. Walsh and Finn try to weather the storm, but a dagger by Fitzpatrick who sinks a birdie putt to go 3 up after 9. Finn needs something to get him going on the back 9 so a quick chug of Bud Light seemed to be the answer as he comes out smoking with a birdie on 10 and looking like Walsh and Finn would get another back on 12 with Finn in close for a birdie putt and Fitzpatrick in the trap. Fitzpatrick reaches into the goodie bag and blasts his sand trap shot out and it agonizingly trickles into the hole for an improbable birdie and now the pressure is on Finn to sink his putt and calmly does to keep he and Walsh within reach. Finn takes the 13th hole and its now down to 1. Finn is now 2 under par on the back and they step to the 14th tee. Finn and Stefanick are on but have a long putt, Fitzpatrick lands in the right trap with the ball up close to the lip. Magic strikes again as he somehow gets it close and a tap in par putting the pressure on Finn to 2 putt, he blows it by and lips the comebacker and its back to 2 down. The holes are running out, but they are now entering Amen's Corner which are arguably the toughest holes on the course. It's dormie with 2 to go. Finn pars the 17th to get it to 1. The adrenalin is pumping with Finn and Walsh both on in 2 and Stefanick and Fitzpatrick chipping up to try and save par. Stefanick chips up to 5 feet, Finn and Walsh are both in with par. Stefanick who up to this point had watched his partner carry him needed to redeem himself and with his heart pounding and depends firmly strapped around his waist, sinks the 5 foot par putt to finish off Finn who shot 35 on the back and Walsh to win the coveted Judge Smails Cup.



And speaking of match-play winners, hats off to our own Rich McKenna who recently won the Easton C.C. Match-Play Championship, in an epic final match where it took a sub-70 round to win on the final hole. (He used 14 clubs, so it was pretty easy.) Also, good luck to all SIGL/Easton C.C. members in this weekend's Club Championship.

Year End

The year-end tourney and banquet has been scheduled for Sunday, 10/3/10 at approx. 11:00 AM.

(To Easton C.C. members: The club tournament schedule shows a 4-person blind draw tourney for that day, but Mark Lombardi is rescheduling that tourney for other reasons to another day, so 10/3/10 is open for us.)

There is plenty of time, but if you can't make it or choose not to play, you must let us know by the last night of league play; we don't like getting stuck paying greens fees and dinner costs for no-shows. As it stands now, everyone is in until we hear otherwise. Thanks.

Recap Week 15

Finals for the coveted Judge Smails Cup

Finn (0) & Walsh (2)
vs
Stefanick (1) & Fitzpatrick (2)

The first match of the semi-finals had Stefanick and Fitzpatrick pitted against Aronson and Mark Nolan. Stefanick continued to steam roll the competition by parring 5 of the 1st 6 holes and not giving Aronson and Nolan any glimmer of hope to come back, and this one ended 4 & 3 and now it's off to the finals for this red hot team.

The 2nd match had Finn and Walsh going against Larosa and Bradley. Larosa has had some tough luck in previous Cup tournaments coming close and never getting to the finals. Finn and Walsh quickly take the 1st hole. Larosa approach on 3 goes above the hole his putt was too aggressive and goes by and could not make the comebacker leaving Larosa and Bradley 2 down after 3. Larosa birdies 4 to get it back to 1. The 5th hole had Walsh's 2nd shot over by the barrel on 6. He whacked and prayed and somehow got on the green to make bogey net par and take the 5th. Larosa again gets it back on 6 and determined not let these whipper snappers get the best of him. I'd mention Bradley but he is riding Larosa like he is Sea Biscuit. The 7th hole took the sails out of Larosa when 1 revolution kept his putt from dropping and instead of being 1 down fell to 2 down. Finn ends the match with a birdie putt on 8 and it's off the the 18 holes final and a chance for Walsh to be a repeat winner of the Judge Smails Cup.
