Recap Week 8

 The weatherman predicted a rainy Tuesday, but guess what. They were wrong! There's a first time for everything.

     Week 8 featured the season debut of "The Ed MacNeil Show" starring, you guessed it, Ed MacNeil !  Donning a stylish chapeau and without the distraction of brother Ace MacNeil, (Johnny, I'm kidding!), Eddie really blossomed with 19 points for a +8 and Individual honors. In addition to his superlative play, E-Mac also had the luck of the Irish, I mean Scottish, going for him as his birdie on 3 was the sole survivor and was worth a cool C-note. With a $120 night, he rockets to first place on the money list. 

     Paul McDermott and Steve DaSaro continued their winning ways, this time teaming up to take the Team prize at +8, while the pride of Southie, Joe Curtis, shaped a beauty into 6 to snag Closest to Pin at 6' 1". 

     A very impressive 15 birdies found the bottom of the hole, but, as noted, only one stood alone. SIGL sharpshooters humbled Hole 9 with a half dozen birds. Hard luck player of the week goes to T.J. who had a league season high 20 points with 3 birdies and a +7 but walked away empty. Other notable rounds include Mayhem Mike Bradley, who celebrated his birthday with a +7 and plenty of cake at the 19th Hole, and Johnny Fay who had two birdies, but no cake.  

     And finally, just when we thought we were back in good graces, we're in the doghouse again!  The Easton C.C. elite ranger unit apparently witnessed two SIGL groups with contraband beer on the course and/or parking lot this week. Easton is very serious about this: No outside alcoholic beverages are allowed on the course. They explain that the Town of Easton is very strict about this requirement of the liquor license, and that they (Easton C.C.) will not jeopardize their license by golfers who will not adhere to this policy. Starting next week Easton will employ beer-sniffing dogs...only kidding, starting next week, Easton will employ beer-sniffing rangers and cart girls to ferret out any violators, which may include searches of bags of the usual suspects. Starting next week, anyone who brings their own beer on the course, will be indefinitely suspended from play by Easton C.C. They are not kidding about this. Please make it easy on everyone and comply with this rule of the club. From now on the Tuesday party is strictly DNBYOB. 

    Happy Fourth and see you next Tuesday.
