Recap Week 12

First thing every golfer should learn is not to listen to the  weatherman(babe). To hear them tell it yesterday, it was so hot that you would practically erupt into flames after being outside for five minutes. Apparently, a lot you must have listened because attendance was sparse. (More money for the year-end tourney.)  It turned out that a hardy breeze made it a great night for golf, and I believe we had no heat-related fatalities.

 

    Of those who did show, we had a lot of good scores, with 13 birdies. Player of the week goes to Ed MacNeil (the not as crazy brother) who had a +4, good for team and individual honors. Mike Kelly held steady to ride with Ed to the team prize. Blake Willard put it in tight on 2 to snag CTP honors, and collect money for the second week in a row. Apparently, he  missed the birdie putt, for which Dave Naimo is grateful because that allowed his bird to hold up giving him $30 in gas money for his commute back to New Hampshire. Joe Curtis' birdie on 4 survived and Dave Peters continues his good play, and gets rewarded with a paying birdie on 6. Birds on 3, 5, and 9 (5 of them) were covered. Pride of Quincy and Archie's, Chris Sullivan may not have had a great night but he was still basking in the glory of last week's round when he holed out on 7 from 140 yards. (Our Hole 7 course reporter must have been on coffee break at the time because we missed the story.)    

 

    Congrats go out Jim Lyons who advanced to the third round of the Easton C.C. match play tourney with an exciting 1 up victory last weekend. Also, good luck to Mike McNeice and Tommy James who are also still in the hunt. It just goes to show again what the golfing world has known for a long time: SIGLers are tough to beat. Bino took another night off, but hopes to make an appearance next  week.

 

    For those who have inquired, the year end tourney is scheduled for Sunday, 9/23/12 at about 11:20 AM.

 

    Next week is Week 13 and there are still a handful of players who have not paid for the second half. If you don't bring payment next week, then don't bother signing in because you are out. (Always leave 'em laughing!)
