  WEEK 4 CTP:                 9TH HOLE


     Week 3 brought some fine weather (for most of the time), crisply cut fairways, and smooth running greens, with the exception of the 4th green, which remains slow. For some reason, we had a very sparse attendance, with only 39 golfers teeing it up, but the good news is that scores are starting to gradually improve each week.

    It was nice to see Steve Dasaro get on the money board early, as Steve had the premier net quota score of +6 to take 1st. Individual.

     With the benefit of a silky swing and two recent golf trips south as warm-ups, Mike McNeice continues to shine. Mike turned in an impressive 38, good for 17 quota points and a +5. He also picked a good partner in Peter Frasca who contributed a robust +4, so Mike and Pete will be rewarded with 1st Team cas at +9.

     Scott Silvia turned in his own outstanding +5, but Mr. McNeice's +5 prevailed in a card-off for 2nd Individual.

     Lucky Lenny Lima continues his impressive streak by being in the money every week this year; this time with an exemplary +4. His playing partner Steve Lozzi was also scoring partner, and Steve turned in a solid +1 to take 2nd Team at +5. Bob Bourne and Dan McGarry had a good night together, but their +5 did not survive a card-off against Len and Steve.   

     Peter Frasca added to his 1st Team winning with Closest to Pin honors on 8 with a great approach to 6'8".

     We still had only a modest six birdies on the front, but four of those will pay. Mike McNeice will add to his 1st Team and 2nd Individual dough with a $28 birdie on 2. Rick Walsh got on the money list with one of the best putts you'll see for a bird on 5. Paul McDermott will take a fourth of the pool with a nice bird on 6, and Scott Silvia will collect for his four on the 9th.

   Although we had 20 golfers in the back nine pool, nary a bird was to be had, so we will have a carryover to next week. (You must be one of the 20 sign-ups this week to be eligible for the carryover portion of next week's pool. Don't worry, TJ has it all figured out.)

   Although scores improved a little this week, it is hard to believe that with almost 1,800 holes of golf played this year we have made only 11 birdies on the front and 3 on the back. The good news though is that 10 of 14 birds have paid cash. Time for all of us to get to the putting green and/or start hitting more greens.

   And finally, although the weather was great for most of the afternoon, a couple of the later groups didn't quite make it through unscathed. The Teddy Meyer Foursome (available for weddings and bar mitzvahs) got caught in the deluge, but being light in the loafers ..... I mean light on their feet, they were able to nimbly dodge the deadly lightning bolts. Although in their haste to avoid getting too wet or too killed, forgot to bring in the CTP marker.

   And while Ted and Company made it in safely to the 19th hole, unfortunately the same can't be said for the MacNeil Cartel. After deciding to play some extra holes, they were last seen driving off into the gloom, and like U.S. Navy Fighter Squadron 19 flying into the Bermuda Triangle in 1945, were never heard from again. Shame. Good guys, too.

   See you next Tuesday.
