  BACK 9 SKINS:  KEATING 10, LYONS 12, LORING 15  ($33 EA.)  

  Well, it rained Monday night, so you never know, but carts were given the go, and the course was again in superb shape. A dreary start to the day turned into a beautiful afternoon for golf. Apparently because of vacations and such, turnout was light, and for some reason it was a very substandard collective performance.  There were only four players who exceeded +2 against quota and a very paltry five birdies for the night. Challenging pins accounted for some of the poor scoring, and especially the dastardly placement on the first hole. Based on 19th hole feedback about Hole 1, it appears there were more three putts than two, a few four putts, and more than a few first putts that ended up off the green.

  Aside from anyone named Dan, there were few outstanding rounds this night. Dan McGarry had the primo round of the night at +4 and will be rewarded with 1st Individual honors and cash. Dan Svirsky's bogey on 1 gave him the card-off win over Dan Szczurko and Rich White at +3 to take 2nd Ind.

  It only took a season-low +5 to claim the 1st Team prize: Steady Dan Svirsky paired his +3 with Steady Eddie Finn's +2 to earn envelopes. Dan Szczurko will be rewarded for his fine +3 by taking 2nd Team with partner Alex Turchette, who contributed a solid +1. for a +4 total.

  In keeping with the Dan theme for the night, early in the day, Mr. McGarry put his approach on 8 to 12'7" and surprisingly that number bested all subsequent comers, so he will gladly add to his winnings with Closest to Pin money.

  As noted, there were a disappointing five birdies for the night, and three will be rewarded. Alex Turchette will add to his 2nd Team win with a $40 birdie on 3.  This humble hacker curled a downhill sidewinder into the hole on the 6th, and TJ James followed up his eagle last week with a birdie on 9, that amazingly went uncontested. Joe Curtis and Rich White cancelled each other out on 2.

  The back nine supplemental pool rewarded three entrants with $33 each: Rick Keating on the 10th, Jim Lyons on 12, and beauty of a bird by Bob Loring on 15.

   Aside from those mentioned above, the only other notables were rookie Sean Knowles, John Fay, and Paul Begley at +2. And speaking of notables, hats off to Easy Ed Finn (same guy as Steady Eddie Finn) who turned in the best round of his career Friday with an even par 71 at Easton CC. Way to go, Ed.

   And finally, SIGL is again well represented in Easton CC tourney play. In a hard fought battle all the way, this dedicated duffer bested the scrappy Dr. Saul Payne in extra innings to claim the A Division (one below the Championship flight)  Match Play title. Well played, doc.

    See you next Tuesday.
