  With a rain out and a scheduled course closure for aeration, we missed a couple of weeks, but we're now back on track. (And for those of you who e-mailed saying you had no prior notice of the course closure on August 31st, read your e-mails or the blog once in a while.) 

  Results this week were pretty much down the middle, with 18 players exceeding quota, 15 evens, and 21 falling short. 

  Mike Silva continues his red-hot play and this week posted a crisp 18 points, good for  +6 and 1st Individual. 

  Dana Willard had one of his better nights by recording a robust +5 and 2nd Individual. 

  And Peter Frasca had a superb +4 and that is good enough for 3rd.

  Of the winning Individuals, none had enough help from partners to secure 1st Team, so that honor will go to this humble hacker at +3 and alternate partner Mike Leonard at +3 for a 1st Team +6. 

  Chris Sullivan held steady at Even, and that will be enough for Chris and Dana Willard (+5) to take 2nd Team at +5.

  And the same goes for 3rd Team, as Peter Frasca's +4 paired with alternate partner John Hrenko's Even will get them in the money, after a card-off win over E. MacNeil/Meyer, M. Silva/Tracy, and Danieli/Pryles. 

  Mr. Hrenko may have had a little luck being drawn as an alternate, but there was no luck, only skill, when he striped his third shot on the 9th hole to 1'10" for CTP honors and a kick-in bird. 

  With the greens still recuperating, there were a very modest ten birdies on the frontside. And when the dust settled, Mike Leonard's 3 on the 5th hole will result in Mike taking the whole pot. Birds on 3 (Danieli, Barry), 4 (Regan, Dugan), 8 (M. Silva, McDermott), and 9 (E. MacNeil, DeJesus, Hrenko) were smashed. 

  There were even fewer birdies on the back, with only six bids finding the hole, but four of those will get paid: Dan Svirsky on the 10th, Mike Silva on 11, pride of Southie Joe Curtis on 12, and Bill Doonan on 18. (And Billy says thank you Bob Bourne for not getting in the pool.) As usual, the 13th hole was covered, but this time with only two birdies (Svirsky, Dugan).

  Almost everyone who had an outstanding day (+3 or better) cashed in. But the two hard-luckers who didn't were Tim Greene and Jay Chapman, both at +3.  

  The SIGL year-end tournament will be held on Sunday, October 3rd. (For those of you who will be e-mailing in the next couple of weeks asking when the year-end tournament is, here's your response: the year-end tournament will be Sunday, October 3rd.) It will either be an 8:30 shotgun start or tee times, going off the front and back. There will be other golfers on the course, and Easton has asked us to be aware of pace-of-play requirements. Anyone who will not be playing in the year-end tourney must let us know as soon as possible. Thanks.

  And finally, we haven't had a blog in a couple of weeks, so this is a little late, but hats off to SIGLers Len Lima, Peter Frasca, and Steve Danieli for being on 1st place teams in the Red, White, and Blue tourney, and congrats also to Chris Haslam, Andrew Dugan, and their guests in winning the recent Easton CC Member-Guest event. Well done boys. 

   See you next Tuesday.
