 Well, the week off apparently did us a world of good, as SIGLers
had the best collective week in memory, with an incredible 25 golfers who posted +3 or better. The course has really dried out (no more wet shoes every round Teddy) and the greens are running smooth and true, so that helped scores, too. 

  The always steady Steve Lozzi had his best night of the year with 18 points, producing a super +7. (And shot a crisp 77.) Rookie Bill Simmons, just trying to catch up to his money machine playing partner Ned Babyak, also exploded for his best night of the year, tying Steve at +7. Steady Steve's bogey on 1 was good enough to take the tie-breaker for 1st. 

  Johnny MacNeil continues his superlative play and recorded his own 18 points and +6. And again, it paid to be an alternate as Mark Spear stepped in for a no show with a fine +3 to pair up with J. Mac to take 1st Team honors at +9. 

  There was a real traffic jam for 2nd Team with five teams tied at +7: McGarry/Spears alt., Keating/Spears alt., Lozzi/Silvia, Hrenko/Bourne, Simmons/Doonan. (Try not to tie so much; it took me a half hour to figure out the tie-breaker.) But the team that made it through the pile-up was the honorable duo of John Hrenko at +5 and Bob Bourne with a +2. 

  Ed Finn continues his envelope collection routine, this week with a winning approach on 2 to 12'8" to take CTP cash. 

  For all the really great scoring, surprisingly there were only nine birdies on the front. J. MacNeil will be rewarded for his lead-off birdie on the 1st hole, Greg Willard will collect for a fine bird on 7, and the productive Bob Loring will gladly take the cash for his 3 on the 8th. The 3rd hole (Payne, Simmons, Aronson) and 9 (Fay, Ed MacNeil, Lozzi) were smashed. 

  There are too many players at an outstanding +3 to mention, but hard-luckers this week who had great nights but no pay-off are Saul Payne at +5, and John Tracy, Rick Keating, and Mike Leonard, all at +4. High points this week was 18, earned by Steve Lozzi and John MacNeil. 

  There was improved participation in the Back Nine birdie pool, and seven birdies were sunk, with two getting paid. Ed MacNeil will be picking up an envelope for his winning birdie on 12, and Bob Loring (I told you he was productive) adds to his stash with a 2 on 14. The 13th hole was smashed (Doonan and Thompson) and the 17th was cancelled out by Keating, Lozzi, and Finn. 

  And again, in Easton CC tournament play, SIGLers continue to shine with 12 league members on teams in the money at the recent Red, White, and Blue event. 

  And finally, welcome aboard to newcomer Bill Humphrey, who will hopefully turn the dynamic duo of Shannon and Thompson into a terrific trio. 

  See you next Tuesday.
