WEEK 11 CTP:     2ND

  Well, we are a little behind schedule, but we finally reached the half way point of the season.We're in mid-season form, with good turnout and again some solid scoring.

   This week, Ed Reagan, who keeps Indian Pond in the super shape that it's in, looked like the low single digit golfer that he was in his prime, with a great +7 to take 1st Individual. And the ageless Martin Enright continues to impress, this time with a  +6 for second.

   Proving once again that two Johns are better than one, Bino and Mr. Tracy teamed up with outstanding  +4s each to garner 1st Team honors at +8. Solid play by Saul Payne (+3) and Paul Begley (+2) will be rewarded with 2nd Team moola.

  Dan Szczurko's neat approach on the 9th hole to 6 feet looked good for a long time until Greg Willard came along at the end and cozied one to 1'11" inches to well earn the Closest to Pin prize.

  There were 11 frontside birdies, and two will be rewarded with cash money. Rick Keating got on the money board with a fine 2 on 4, and the steady Mike McNeice birdied the difficult 5th hole to split the pot with Rick. Birdies on 3 (James, Loring, Barry), 8 (Reagan, Doonan, Tracy, Barry), and 9 (Enright, G. Willard) were smashed.

   Notable performances that were not money winners were Barry (+5), Finn and E. MacNeil at +3, and James, Musgrove, and Loring at +2. Highpointers were this humble hacker and TJ at 15. (Last week's highpoint earner was Rich White at 15.)

   The back nine birdie pool is becoming more popular each week, and this time, John Hrenko, Ed MacNeil, Paul McDermott, and TJ James will split the pot ($27 each).

  At the half, we are happy to report that 52 golfers have won something this year, and a total of $2,655 has been distributed, not including $395 in the new back nine pool. Top earners are: Harding- $235, McNeice-$155, Shannon-138, James-$129, and Lozzi-$120.

    Rules clarification: The driving range and fence are treated as immovable obstructions. You get free relief from both. However, if your ball enters the fence or range from behind, you get relief from the fence at point of entry but you do not get "line of sight" relief from the fence or range. You would still have to punch out sideways to get back in better play.

  And finally, 2nd half dues payments are due next week. Please make sure you bring payment. Week 7 on July 11th was kind of a half-assed league night because of the (ridiculous) decision to prohibit golf carts that day. Anyone who was planning to play that night, but could not or did not because of the cart policy may deduct $30 from the dues of $315 ($285 net).

    See you next Tuesday.
