      Well, after a couple of weeks of anemic scores, we seem to have found our groove thing with a lot of really fine scoring. We had 26 players exceed quota, 15 meet their number, and 16 who fell short. 

       Saul Payne had his best day since graduating from dental school, as he had his SIGL career best 14 points, good for a robust +8 and 1st Individual. Steve Danieli continues on a torrid pace, posting a super +7 and taking 2nd. And it was only a matter of time before the ever steady Bob Loring would emerge from hibernation, as he carded a stellar total of 17 points and a +6, good for a card-off win over this humble hacker for 3rd Individual. 

  Mr. Loring's strong showing was nicely complemented his by scoring and playing partner Len Lima, who pitched in with a +1 to take the pair to +7 and a 1st Team win, when the card revealed that the Loring/Lima duo bested the +7 of Saul Payne (+8) and Sean Knowles (-1), who will take 2nd Team honors. 

  Three teams vied for the 3rd spot at +6, and the card decided that Paul Murphy's +3 with Jay Chapman's like number will prevail over Bob Williams (+5)/John MacNeil (+1) and Steve Danieli (+7)/Ted Meyer (-1).   

   It was a tough pin on 6 for CTP, and so TJ's 12 feet looked really good until Mr. Dan Svirsky came along and stuck one to 2'3". Nice. 

  For all the good scoring there was a modest ten birdies sunk on the front, and three will be rewarded: Dan Svirsky sunk his 2 footer on 6, Larry Barry rolled in a curler on the 7th, and Paul McDermott carded a 3 on the 8th hole, which surprisingly lived. Smashed birds were on 2 (James, Musgrove), 5 (Loring, Danieli, Szczurko), and the 9th (Lima/Barry). 

   There were a lot of really good numbers posted, but the hard-luck strong performers were: Mike Leonard and Bob Williams each at +5, Nick Dejesus and Dan Szczurko recording +4s, and TJ, Greg Willard, and Robert Redford... I mean Paul Newman at +3. Highpointer honors this week will be shared by B. Loring and L. Barry at 17 points. 

  Each week the backnine skins pool has been steadily growing, and this week there were a hardy 33 entrants with a $165 pot. So it was a good time for somebody to get a sole survivor bird and take the whole thing. So thank you one and all for your folded finskies. There were ten other birdies that cancelled each other out: 12th: Mike Silva, Scott Silvia; the 13th with Lima, Mathieson, Finn, J. MacNeil, and Barry, and the 18th hole: J. MacNeil, Chuck Mathieson, and Rich White. 

  And finally, good luck to all SIGLers who will be playing in the Easton CC two-day tourney this weekend. If the past is any indication, it's a good bet that next week we will be reporting on the usual SIGL dominance in these events.

  See you next Tuesday.
