Recap Week 9
Another great night at beautiful Easton C.C. and conditions seem to get better each week; although I'm gonna have to see a chiropractor if I drive on these cart paths much longer.
Turnout was good and scores were all over the lot, but many had their best night of the year. Star of the day was Todd Texeira who seems to get better very week; this time collecting 22 points, with four birdies, good for a +7 and Individual honors. We would have to get our microfiche machine fixed and check league archives, but we're reasonably sure that the record is 23 points, held by former SIGL great Rich McKenna and current SIGL equipment manager Frank LaRosa. Todd had no help from his partner and so the Team prize will go to Scott Silvia, who shook off a season-long slump to register a +4 and mate Dave Naimo, also at an impressive +4.
Other notable rounds were turned in by Terry Moore (+5), John Fay (+4), Mike Kelly (+3), Jay Chapman (+3) and Rick Walsh at +3, who makes steady improvement each week.
Jared Cacciapaglia continues his winning ways, and this week will cash for Closest to Pin on the tough 6th hole.
There were a respectable 11 birdies for the night, and for the first time in a while, five of them lived: Despite having his worst night of the year, Greg Paone continues to find a way to collect, with a birdie right out of the gate. Surprisingly 2 lived for Ryan Burke, Todd Texeira collects on two of his four birds (3 and 4) and Mike Kelly had a nice one on 6 to get on the money board. And with a strong wind at our backs, there were six birdies between 8 and 9. (The wind also helped on 18 where Ed Finn's drive rode the jetstream to within 90 yards of the front pin.)
A tip of the cap goes out to SIGLers Todd T. and to Bobby Frick for advancing past the first round of the Easton C.C. match play championship. Fellow SIGLer Saul Payne had the misfortune of being paired against Todd on his stellar night, and Saul was heard to mutter something that sounded like "Oy vey" as he limped home. Also, an honorable mention to Bob Loring who was closed out in extra innings of an exciting match. Good luck to all who have yet to play their matches.
A reminder that we are almost at the halfway point of the year, and that 2nd half payments are due on Week 11. You're on notice. (Of course, the players who are the most difficult to collect from are the same ones who never read this website, so we're just blowing into the wind.)
See you next Tuesday.

Time for a happy pill.
Time for a happy pill.
Recap Week 8
For the weeks we've had brutal weather, we get almost perfect attendance, and now that we've had great nights to play, nobody shows up. Between bad backs and other assorted injuries, illnesses, work conflicts, and unavoidable meetings with probation officers, for the second week in a row, we've had more no shows than city workers on a Monday morning.
And based on our performances, the rest of us should have stayed home, too. For the night, we had only 7 golfers exceed quota, and the typical score was deeply in the red. Maybe great weather and great course conditions don't suit our games. One exception was Dana Willard who had his best night of the year with a +6 and will be duly rewarded with the Individual prize. However, his partner leaked oil all night so they were not close for Team honors. That distinction goes to Paul Raynard who had a season-high 10 points, good for +3 and steady Bill Pope who chipped in with a +1.
Dan Szczurko turned in a very impressive +4 which didn't earn him any dough, but his stylish shot into a tough pin on 4 will earn him Closest to the Pin at 21' 6"
There were only nine birdies on the night, and for the fourth week in a row, we have had two survive, earning $54 each. Standout rookie Greg Paone continues to roll in the birdies, and has a knack for winning skins, and will do so again with one on the 2nd hole. And John MacNeil looks determined to vie all year for the money lead with a nice one on 6, where there was a tricky front pin.
Rookie Todd Texeira continues to show off and again was high-pointer for the night, this time with 17 points, and did so without a birdie. (That comes out to eight pars and a bogey, good for a 37.)
We usually like to mention Other Notables, but this week, we couldn't find any. And for the first time all year, both Bino and myself played some extra holes, and so by the time we repaired to the 19th Hole, the joint was empty, except for a bewildered Andrea. So I guess all the whacky hijinks and great golf moments that inevitably occurred last night will forever go unchronicled.
And finally, it is with deep sadness that we inform you of the recent death of the beloved wife of SIGLer Terry Moore, after a lengthy illness. Please keep Terry and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
See you next Tuesday.

Ace Barry
Congratulations to our fearless leader Ace Barry. He said before teeing off on 16 on Sunday, I need a 1....as Bill Murray would say I got all of that "its in the hole". His high would soon end when he saw how many people were at the bar!!!!
Parched
Julianna...Julianna...where art thou. She said she was making coo coo juice for TJ.... hence no sign of her till the back nine for the early starters.
Recap Week 7
Where was everybody? Was it something we said? On what was for the most part a fine evening, we had 17 unexcused absences; go figure. The weather held off for most of the night, although the word "ominous" was heard a few times around 6:00. And a few scaredy cats ran for the clubhouse around that time.
Scores were all over the lot but many had their best night of the year. Star of the day this week is rookie phenom Sean Costello who posted an impressive +7 to take Individual. Our man Bino, who was contemplating hari kari over the recent state of his golf game, overcame a triple bogey out of the gate and rebounded sharply with 14 points, good for a +6. Paul McDermott did his part with a +4 to share Team honors with John.
Hard luck team of the week has to be Len Lima (+5) and Bob Frick (+3), and Bob had two birdies covered to boot. Notable performances were also turned in by Dawn Weber with a +6 and Ed Finn at +4. Highpointers bunched up at 16 points were Texeira, Cacciapaglia, Finn, Dawn Weber, Costello, Frick, and La Rosa. Also worth a mention is the best cumulative 18 hole card turned in all year: led by Todd Texeira's 74, the fearsome foursome of Texiera, McNeice, Costello, and James had 9 birdies and an average score of 77.
Going out early, Todd chipped one close for a CTP on the 2nd hole of 1 ft., 11 in., written down as 23''. Marker Sean Costello explained that at B.C. High he learned that two marks (") equals inches, but apparently not having the benefit of a solid Catholic education, subsequent groups read it as 23 ft. and continued recording supposedly closer scores. So sorry, Cacci, your 3 ft. 9 in. didn't make the cut, but your bomb of a drive to 160 yards was very impressive anyway. We haven't had this much confusion over a CTP measurement since Scott Bamford once wrote down 5 ft. 18 in. (Prior to his company going out of business by underpricing every job, Scott was a crack construction estimator.)
We had a respectable 11 birdies for the night, and for the third week in a row, only two survived, good for $54 each. Paul McDermott will take half the pot with one on 5, and red-hot Sean C. will gladly take the cash for the only bird on the 8th hole. Asked how long his birdie putt was, Sean said, "About 216 inches.", which we found odd.
You may have noticed a lot of turtles on the course last night, and by that, we don't mean slow players. We found one trudging across 7 green, and Bino's group came upon one in a greenside bunker. Aware that you can't touch a loose impediment in a hazard, animal-lover Mike Bradley gently removed it from the sand by opening his stance and hitting two inches behind the little guy; one shell of a shot.
And Greg Paone has asked the executive committee if his front-nine card on Sunday could count for league play. On that day, Greg really had it going and carded a 34 with three birdies, good for 23 points on the front, on his way to a tight 74. However, his application did not include the expected "administrative fee" and so has been denied without review. And finally, this humble hacker, playing alongside Greg on Sunday, and just trying to keep up, carded his fourth career ace with one on 16; proving once again that it is better to be lucky than good. (And apparently sensing that a complimentary hole-in-one drink may be in the offing that day, Johnny MacNeil made his first Easton weekend appearance all year.)
See you next Tuesday.
