  Where was everyone last night? For those of you who chose to sit it out, and there were many, your first mistake was was listening to the weather dopes on TV. They miss more calls than a blind umpire. 

  We are really starting to hit our stride, and there were many really outstanding scores. Mike McNeice exploded for three birds and a super 21 points, a total achieved only a few times since Rich McKenna used to do it on a regular basis. Smooth Mike's +9 will easily take 1st Individual honors. We had an impressive four golfers (Babyak, Loring, Szczurko, Keating) at +6 and the hot Bob Loring rose above the pack with his pars on 1 and 5 to win the card-off. And he was so pleased with his second week in a row with 17 points, he exclaimed, "I'm going to Disney World!" 

 With so many no-shows, it was a good week to be first alternate and Dan Szczurko, back in the SIGL family after a year's sabbatical, really took advantage with a season best +6 to pair up with Mr. McNeice's +9 to take 1st Team at +15. And again as an alternate, Dan's +6 was coupled with a fine +3 from Saul Payne to take the 2nd Team prize. 

  For the second week in a row rookie Ned Babyak nailed Closest to Pin honors with an outstanding approach on 9 to 4'6" that inched out Terry Moore's fine shot to 5'6", and has now won dough three weeks in a row. (Ned, you picked up your old envelope from the box but left your new one. Now you have a new old one and a new new one. Also, you must circle birdies to get credit.)

  We had a healthy 14 birdies on the front side, but only two will be getting rewarded with cash. Rick Keating is working his way back from surgery in fine fashion with a nifty birdie on the 6th, and Mr. Loring's 3 on 7 will take half the pot. Birds on 2 (McNeice, Babyak), 3 (Doonan, Szczurko), 4 (Doonan, McNeice), 8 (McNeice, Mark Nolan), and 9 (Szczurko, Babyak, James, G. Willard) did not survive. 

  There were only four birdies sunk on the back nine, and two will live. Steve Lozzi has been racking up a bunch of birdies lately, and his 3 on 11 will split the pot with this humble hacker who sunk a bomb from the back collar on 12. Steve and playing partner Doc Payne cancelled each other out on 13. 

  There were many plus performances and a handful of players had really good nights but will not make the money list: TJ James and Bill Doonan, earned +4 each, and John Fay, Steve Danieli, Steve Dasaro, and Jay Chapman came in at +3. Highpointer was Mike McNeice with 21.  

  Welcome back to last year's scoring leader Bob Bourne, who has pretty much been on the disabled list all year. Good luck with the back, Bob.   

   And finally, a Happy 4th of July to all. Traditionally, we have taken this week off, and again this year there will be a number of golfers away, so there will be no SIGL golf on July 2nd. We will resume on July 9th. With a little cooperation from the weather from here on in, we should be able to get in all our weeks prior to the October 13th year-end tourney.  

  See you next Tuesday (not).
