 Hard to believe, but we are approaching the midway point of the year, and we are playing our best golf of the year, with a bunch of big plus numbers, and only 13 golfers who did not reach quota.

  Wayne Musgrove has been quiet all year, but the big guy exploded this week for a mighty 17 points on the back of two birds, and his +7 will be enough to secure 1st Individual honors. Coming in right behind was the fine trio of Jim Shannon, Chris Sullivan, and Terry Moore at +6 with Mr. Shannon's par on 1 giving him 2nd Individual.

  Nice to see North Adams' finest native son Mayhem Mike Bradley break out of a long funk with his best performance of the year with an outstanding +5. And also rising from the ashes is John Tracy who followed last week's super +8 with a fine +4, only two weeks after saying "my golf game has descended into degradation and ruin." The comeback kids will take the 1st Team prize at +9

  Right on their heels was the fine partnership of Jim Shannon with his +6 and Rick Keating's solid contribution of +2 to take 2nd Team at +8.

  Closest to the Pin on 9 is always close, but this week Greg Willard made it really close with a great chip to 1'11" to earn $25. Long hitter Rich White was securely on the green in two shots, 12 feet from the pin. Rich thought of all the goodies to come if he sunk the putt: eight points for an eagle, almost certain skins money, and Closest to Pin Cash. But like his fellow long-hitting buddy a few weeks ago, he proceeded to three putt, dashing all hopes of fame and glory.

   There was a total of 11 front-side birdies, and 3 of them will earn an envelope. Terry Thompson started his afternoon off on the right foot with a great bird on the 1st hole, Wayne Musgrove will collect on 4, and it is only fair that Terry Moore will be rewarded for his outstanding night with a paying birdie on the difficult 5th hole.

   Birdies on 3 (Lozzi, Danieli, Moore), 8 (Bourne, Hrenko, Musgrove), and 9 (G. Willard, Shannon) were not skins-worthy.

   There were only two birdies on the back nine and they were both on the 13th hole (Lozzi, Svirsky). There will be carryover of $115 into our next round (July 10th).

    Outstanding performers who were not in the money this week were Chris Sullivan at +6, Mark Spears and John Hrenko at +4, and Rick Walsh and Bob Bourne at +3. Wayne Musgrove's 17 points earns him highpointer honors.

    And a tip of the cap to good guy Steve Lozzi who won his bracket in the recent Easton CC match play tourney by soundly repelling fellow SIGL challengers Loring, Barry, and James. Nice job Steve.

    Thank you to all who have started printing their name on the sign-in sheet or at least contained their signature to one line. But from the It Falls On Deaf Ears Department, of course there continue to be a few "big signers" requiring us to have to cross-reference the sign-in sheet with the scorecards to figure out how many golfers we owe for. TJ even had to give a private tutorial to one stubborn offender on how to color between the lines. 

   And finally, also from the It Falls on Deaf Ears Dept., sure as shootin', we will get at least one call or e-mail this weekend asking if we are playing on July 3rd. Anyone who asks will be told that yes we are playing and that we're gonna have a free clambake and open bar afterward, and bring your family and friends. 

   See you next Tuesday (Not)
