Bino will not be playing for a couple of weeks due to a scheduling conflict with his official government duties (when you control the mail, you control information), so I am the substitute recap man.
It was a one-night Q school at Easton C.C. and 16 teams were relieved to advance. If you and your partner chose the same night to shit the bed, then .... well we have some nice parting gifts for you. Make it up at the year-end tourney, where the real money is at stake. For those teams that were eliminated and grumbled about having to play a qualifying round, if you played like that in the first round of match play, you would have been eliminated anyway.
The teams were announced last night and the strokes for each player will be calculated soon. Please try to make arrangements with your partner and opponents ahead of time so we don't have a porch cluster f@&%* next Tuesday. Be sure to clearly mark your card with the winning team and winning score before turning it in.
It was a beautiful night at Southern New England's premier wedding and golf destination, and some good scores to show for it, with 8 birdies. Mike McNeice continues his steady and superlative play with another 77, Frank LaRosa saved his partner, and Scott Bamford must have had an out-of-body experience or something with 3 birdies and 16 points. He's now got his sights on the Cup.
Santos Mercado has been removed from the milk carton and been put into the cold case file, and Brian Murphy made a surprise appearance, which hopefully will be more than a one-night stand; not that there is anything wrong with a one-night stand. Also, it has been nice to see Marshall Poverman back and our thoughts are with him and his family. Peter Jaffe will be missing a few weeks for medical reasons, and we wish him well, too.
Good luck in the tourney, and don't forget to bring payment for the second half.
