   Although he is still not able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, John Bino Carrabino on Tuesday was really super, man. With the newly created back-nine birdie pool allowing for greater potential weekly winnings, Bino wasted no time in establishing a new all-time one-week payout record of $202,  eclipsing the previous records of $185, set by Rich Harding earlier this year.

   Having his best round of the year, John posted 14 points, good for a hardy +6, which was paired with a solid +1 by automobile tycoon Jim Egan. Their +7 turned out to be a winner, as Bino and Jim take 1st Team honors. Right on their heels was Bino's playing partner, newcomer, and all round good fella Ed Leach, who carded his own best round with an outstanding  +5.  World traveller Alex Turchette was home long enough on Tuesday to post his own +1, so Alex and Ani, I mean Alex and Eddie, will accept the 2nd place prize.

  Not to be overlooked in this week's hit parade is solid citizen Mark Spears who posted a great +7 to take 1st Individual. Nice job, Mark. And Bino's +6 will secure 2nd place.

  Jim Shannon came through on the 6th hole with a handsome shot to 6'5", crushing Martin Enright's life-long dream of being an SIGL consecutive week winner of Closest to the PIn.

  Although there were many good scores posted on Tuesday, there were only 7 birdies on the league front. The 2nd hole was smashed (Tracy, Lyons, Silva), and for the third week in a row, the difficult 6th was also covered. (Turchette, Spears). So for paying birdies, that left Bino's on 3 and partner Ed Leach's birdie on 4 as the only survivors, and they will pay $60 each.

  Notable perfomances that did not yield any cash were John Tracy at +5, Steve Lozzi (+4), Chris Sullivan (+3), and Eddie MacNeil, John Hrenko, and Terry Thompson, all at +2. High point man was Steve Lozzi with 16.

  The back nine birdie pool was a carryover from last week, so with $205 on the line, Bino again stepped up and drained one on 12, and Ed Finn sunk a beauty of a long downhiller on 13 to split the pot. 19th hole woulda, shoulda, coulda talk revealed that two other players each had 3-foot birdie putts on 13, but could not close the deal, so Big Ed says thanks, you losers! The only other birdies were had on 10 (Johns MacNeil and Hrenko).

  And finally, the year-end tournament will be held on Sunday, October 1st. Because of the excessive amounts of rain-outs (or should I say cart-not outs), we will have completed 18 weeks of the 20-week schedule by October 1st. Consideration was given to playing two official league nights after the tourney, but at that time of year, sunlight becomes an issue. On Tuesday, 10/10, sunset is at 6:10 PM, so many groups would not even get 9 holes in. Accordingly, we will forego the final two weeks, and the funds allocated for those weeks will be used instead to pay tourney greens fees and cart fees for all. And there will still be a very generous amount of cash remaining to again have a sizable cash prize pot. (This year, we will abandon the blind team format. The team that you play on will be your scoring team.)

  And really finally, the NFL season is fast approaching, so don't forget to get in on Obo's Elimination Pool. It's alot of fun. Contact Bino at hightopper@gmail.com if you are interested.

  See you next Tuesday.
