Recap

After a rough weather start to the season, we've now been on a run of beautiful nights. The Law of Averages always prevails.
 
     You'd think scores would be better, but I guess the putts just weren't dropping. After 15 birdies last week, there were only 3 this week, all of which lived.
 
     There were a few with good scores though. Player of the week goes to Dave Peters (soon to be) of Hilton Head, S.C. who doubled his 8 point quota with a 38, good for 16 points. And all without the aid of a birdie. During our scrumptous ribs AND pulled pork dinner, Mike McNeice tried to get him to submit to a drug test, and Dave did have to acknoweldge that the beta-bogey-blockers that he's been taking are starting to show results. (Another half a pill a day, Dave, should  get rid of those bogeys on 6 and 9.)
 
     Other players of note were Jim Egan (+4), who also doubled his quota, John Tracy at +4 and a bird, and Frank LaRosa with 18 points and a birdie. Frank has felt the heat of  the the Young Turks gaining on him on the money list so decided to pad his lead with a little more cash last night. And Jim Thompson is on the comeback trail with a closest to pin on 9 that set him up for a 5'9" birdie. Blake Willard, who has been playing alot of good golf without alot to show for it, finally had some good fortune by riding along with Dave's +8 to garner team honors as a paper alternate.     
 
     Last night payments were due for the second half and the results were, um, pathetic. (Ten payments).  After four "I forgot my checkbook" excuses, I was almost ready for "The dog ATE my checkbook."  If you think you may have amnesia or Alzheimer's, go see a doctor, but otherwise PAY NEXT WEEK. Anyone who does not pay next week will not be eligible for any prize money next week.
 
    And finally, after working his way back last week, Bino had a little setback with his neck and decided to put himself on the disabled list hopefully the 15 and not the 60 day. As noted golfer Jesse Jackson (big hitter, the reverend) says: Keep hope alive!
