WEEK 14 CTP - 4TH
Well, we had a few more players wander back, but still had only 43 tee it up this week; three weeks in a row with subpar attendance. Scores tightly hovered around quota again, with 33 out of 43 players within two points of their mark.
There were a few outliers to the good, and they were led this week by Eric Aronson who produced a stellar 15 points, good for a +5 and 1st Individual. The hot and cold Steve Dasaro was cooking with gas this week and will take 2nd Individual with a fine +4 posting.
Mr. Aronson was well positioned to cash in on a Team prize with a decent partner, and Ed MacNeil, known far and wide for his decency, did not disappoint as his respectable +1 put the duo over the top for 1st Team honors at +6.
Len Lima has also started to heat up, if only to keep up with his money-machine playing partners. Len's productive +3 was paired with a fine +2 by the steady Greg Willard to take 2nd Team at +5 in a card-off. The team of Mark Spears (+3) and Brian Murphy (+2) gave it a go, but Mr. Lima's par on the 5th broke the tie.
Easy Ed Finn made up for a mediocre round with a fine approach to 11'"8 on the 2nd Hole, which stood up all day and was good for CTP cash.
The good news in the skins pool is that, if you got a birdie, then you are getting paid. The bad news is that you have to split the pot seven ways. For the first time in memory, we had no covered holes while seven out of nine holes were birdied. Sharing the wealth will be Lozzi on 1, G. Willard on 2, McGarry (3), Aronson (4), Lima (7), White (8), and Curtis on 9.
With the backside closed for aeration, there was no B9 skins pool.
And with most golfers on or close to their quota, the only two standouts who did not cash this week were Mark Spears and this humble hacker, both at +3. Highpointer was Rich White at 16 points.
And finally, you may have noticed that the CTP markers that are provided by the club have faulty tapes measures. Unless you want me to make your hair hurt, I will spare you the "explanation" that Easton has given us as to why this is so, but most tapes don't start at 0 inches; for instance, the one used Tuesday starts at 5 inches. Therefore, a distance that is accurately 6' 2" would read 6' 7" on that tape. Instead of us going out and buying new tape measures and markers, etc., or instead of each group taking a measurement and then making a corrective adjustment, we will continue to use the Easton markers and just write down whatever the tape reads, and don't make any adjustment. If every group does this, then we will still get an accurate CTP winner. Oy Vey!
See you next Tuesday.
AH, I DON'T THINK SO
WHATDYA USE AN EASTON
