CTP-WEEK 15: 8TH HOLE
Wow, hasn't anyone ever played the back before? And even if you have, the back nine at Easton is not exactly Bethpage from the tips, if you know what I mean. But based on the scores turned in this week, you would think so. Setting a season low, there were only six teams, and only 14 individuals in positive territory against quota, with one group actually submitting a card with the editorial comment "EMBARRASSING!!!" scrawled across it. Embarrassing was that 11 teams were -4 or worse with five of them being -7.
Oblivious to the poor golf swirling all around him though was one lone star this week, and that was one Steve Danieli who bucked all trends with his super +8 to easily take 1st Individual. John Tracy was also one of the few who passed muster this week, and his +4 will be good for 2nd Individual, after besting the gritty Martin Enright in a card-off.
You would think that Mr. Danieli would be well positioned to cash in on Team honors, but no, Steve's alternate partner chipped in with a crisp -6 (you know who you are) to bring his team back to the pack. Stepping up was the still gritty Marty Enright whose +4 was paired with a fine +1 contribution from Willard the Younger to take the 1st Team prize with +5. Fine fellows Ted Meyer (+3) and Wayne Musgrove (E) will accept 2nd Team money with their +3.
John Tracy added to his winnings with a fine approach on 14 to take Closest to the Pin at 10'8", narrowly beating out Mike McNeice.
There were only eight birdies on the night, and none survived. That means that next week's pool will hold a juicy $240 in cash money. Enright and Aronson cancelled each other out on 10, and Szczurko, J. MacNeil, and D. Wiilard did the same on 12. The still hard-luck Dan Szczurko has now birdied three weeks in a row, with nothing to show for it. The 14th hole surrendered to the hot blades of Danieli and Meyer.
There weren't alot of other notables to report. Aside from those winning cash, the only other two to earn a shout-out are Dana Willard and Eddie MacNeil at +3. And yes, it's true, Steve Danieli was highpointer with 14. Way to go, Steve!
The back nine birdie pool was voided this week, because groups played different "back nines" depending upon when the front nine reopened. Anyone who deposited a pool envelope will already be in for next week.
And finally. the season is fast coming to a close with only four weeks of competition left. The year-end tourney is on Sunday, October 1st. In a couple of weeks, we will put out a sign-up sheet for the tourney. In order to be included in the tourney, you MUST SIGN UP. If you do not sign up by Tuesday, Sept. 26th, you will not be playing. We have to give Easton a firm number of players and diners, and we have to put together teams at that time. We will not rejigger the teams and change the numbers with Easton at the last minute to accommadate anyone who has not signed up. "I just figured that you knew I was playing" will not cut it.
See you next Tuesday.
