It was looking ominous earlier in the day, but the heavy stuff didn't come down for quite a while, so all went well. But apparently dark clouds were enough to keep many scaredy cats away, so attendance was low. And as is the trend lately, most players were solidly below expectations.
Bucking that trend though were a few superior performers: Ed MacNeil will take a bow as Individual honoree at +5, Greg Willard had his best night of the year at +5 and hooked up with a hot Steve Dasaro (+3) to win Team at +8.
Not to be outdone by brother Ed, John MacNeil will claim $25 for his Closest to Pin on 2 that settled two inches from an eagle. With an outstanding read, Johnny nailed the birdie putt.
There were only nine birdies on the night, and proving once again that good clean living pays off, Steady Teddy Meyer was the sole survivor with a birdie on 3, and will humbly accept $108 in cash money. Uncompensated birds were had on 2, and as usual, 8 and 9.
Other notable rounds were carded by Paul McDermott, Ryan Burke, and Sean Costello, all at +3. Other than that, all was quiet on the Easton front.
And with the anticipation building all week, SIGLers T.J. James and Todd Texeira squared off for the Easton CC Division C match-play championship during league play last night. After a back and forth battle, Todd finally prevailed on 17 to take the crown and join Bob Frick, who previously secured the B Division title. (One hole Todd didn't win was the 8th, when he hit himself in the chest with his ball, which is hard to do even if you're a trick-shot artist.) Congrats to both, and to all SIGLers who participated.
And finally, it is nice to see that the recent "enhanced" pricing structure and strict collection methods (pay at the desk, and then pay more later) have produced the funds to begin some much appreciated cart path improvements. My lower lumbar region says, "Thank you, Easton Country Club!"
See you next Tuesday.
