  Well, it's time once again to dip our hand into the SIGL Excuse Bag to come up with why we sucked two weeks in a row now. And, let's see....it's aerated greens, yeah that's it. We had 30 players fail to reach quota, eight who broke even, and 17 who surpassed their number. And only six teams had a plus aggregate. There were a measly six birdies on the front and five on the backside. 

  But going against the grain, Steve Danieli chose this week to have his best performance in a while with a strong +6 to take 1st Individual. Right behind him (no jokes please) was Mayhem Mike Bradley who returned a stellar +5 to secure 2nd. And after a card-off with Bill McIntyre and Jamie Gormley, Andrew Dugan will take 3rd Individual at +4.  

   Danieli and Bradley had no help from their respective partners (that's being kind) but Andrew Dugan at +4 drew his playing partner Chris Haslam as an alternate (+1) to take 1st Team at +5. Ed Finn cashes two weeks in a row with a solid +3, and paired with alternate Nick DeJesus (E) will earn 2nd Team. A card-off was needed for 3rd, and Bill McIntyre's +4 coupled with Bill Simmons at -2 was good enough to prevail over Danieli/Walsh. 

   Apparently rookie Chuck Mathieson thinks the weekly CTP prize is his personal piggy bank, as his 10'5" on the 4th hole went unsurpassed all day long. 

   As noted, there was a paltry six birdies on the frontside, with two paying off. Johnny MacNeil gets on the gravy train with a bird on 6, and rookie Ronnie Duff had a nice 3 on the 7th, and they will split the pot. Hard luck birders were TJ and Mark Nolan on the 5th hole and Ed Finn and Steve Danieli on 9.  

  Even with a robust 31 entrants in the back nine skins pool, there were only five birds, and again, two will be rewarded. Rich White salvaged a disappointing round with a lucrative bird on 16, and Chris Regan, who has a knack for collecting envelopes, will add to his retirement fund with the sole birdie on 18. The 13th was birdied by Mathieson, Duff, and Mike Silva.    

   I haven't processed all the checks yet, but anyone who has played either Week 1 or Week 2 and hasn't paid yet, will be dropped from the roster. Also, with membership bursting at the seams with 68 players, SIGL is not currently accepting any more newcomers. We will reassess at the beginning of the second half. And finally, for newcomers this year, no you can't bring in a guest as a substitute for yourself or someone in your foursome. Your dues covers you only. If, on occasion, a non-SIGLers plays in your group, he must pay his own greens fee and make sure to keep his name off the SIGL sign-in sheet. Thanks. 

 See you next Tuesday.
