WEEK 17 CTP:  2nd or 14th

   Well, after the out of this world performances last week, we came back down to Earth on Tuesday. It seems it's either feast or famine, and this week we were closer to famine, with only 17 golfers exceeding quota, and most of those at +1 or +2.

  Of course, there is always an exception to every rule, and this week that exception was steady Steve Lozzi, who has been playing good golf all year long. On the back of birdies on 2 and 9, Steve came in with an impressive 37 (and season-low? 76) good for 19 points and a +6.

  Last week that would have barely gotten honorable mention, but this week that was much the best, so Steve will gladly accept the Individual prize. While he was at it, Loz also captained the winning Team with the able-bodied Wayne Musgrove who chipped in with a solid +3 for a +9.

  Closest to the Pin on 9 is always close, and so this week it took an approach to 3'5" by Greg Willard to best Jim Lyons for the CTP cash. Next week, Closest will be the 2nd hole, or the 14th if the course's aeration schedule requires us to play the back.

  There were only ten birdies for the night, and again, only 2 that will receive compensation. Steve Lozzi will add $55 to his cash pile with a bird on 2 and his partner in crime Saul Payne will take the other half of the pot with his birdie on 4. Birds on 6 (Barry, Burke), 8 (Curtis, Meyer, Musgrove), and 9 (Lozzi, G. Willard, Aronson) were smashed.

  There weren't a lot of good scores, with only nine teams on the plus side of the ledger. One playing foursome was a combined -15. (I won't mention any names, but I know you MacNeil boys can play better than that.)  So the only other notables were auto magnate Jim Egan at +4, and Jim Lyons, Saul Payne, and this humble hacker, all at +3. Highpointer for the night was Steve Lozzi with 19.

  And finally, to all you quota complainers: For those of you who think that because you had a bad night, that your quota should dramatically go down the next week; it doesn't work that way. With this many nights under our belts, one or two bad nights will not have a great effect on your quota. The Cray XC-40 supercomputer I keep in my climate-controlled basement has it all figured out, so just remember: the machine doesn't lie.

  See you next Tuesday.
