Recap Week 4

We have been open for business for five weeks, and everyone one of them has been tough weatherwise. (Go figure, three days in Maine and everyone one of them was good  weather.)  Law of averages says we are due for a run of good nights now. As noted, after we complete our 20-week season (we've played 4 so far), we will have an extra Tuesday night at no extra charge to all SIGL members, and with the usual weekly prizes.

 

   Again, the scores reflected the bad weather, with only five golfers exceeding their quotas. From having 15 birdies the week before, there was only one this week, with Rick Walsh taking the whole pot and rocketing up the leader board. Jay Chapman scratched his way to a +4 to win individual honors and Jim Lyons continues his solid play with a +3 and team honors, along with Paul Raynard who rode Jim's coattails, but will gladly accept the cash. Ed MacNeil stuck one tight on 8 to grab closest to the pin, but couldn't convert the birdie, $45 slipping through his hands and straight into the pocket of a grateful Rick Walsh.

 

  And since all of our SIGL recaps are eventually filed with the Library of Congress national archives, Tom Tibbetts wants the record to show that he is not getting old, and that he was 5 INCHES, not 5 feet, short of the 3rd green, and that was only because he wanted to stay below the hole.  

 

  Bino is hanging in there waiting for surgery in June, which will result in repaired discs, and he is hoping a new bionic swing. Also, good luck to Steve Peterson who is going in for surgery soon, and let's hope Brian Murphy's repaired parts come around so he can join us again soon. He is missed on the course and at the 19th hole.  

 

  Okay, if there is such a thing as the opposite of an Indian rain dance, let's all practice it between now and Tuesday. As Obo would say: OUT.  

I'd like to add that what you saw was my tears coming from the sky....I'll stop crying and let you guys play. LB is right I am looking for something bionic....if he is going to cut me open might as well put the latest technology in to improve my game.
