  Week 17 was pretty much straight down the middle with 22 plus scores, 24 minus, and 4 even. 

   Congrats to rookie Tim Greene, who broke 80 for the first time in his golf career and who topped it off with a 1st Individual at +6. Bill Simmons had his best day of the year, also posting a strong +6, and will take 2nd Individual after a card-off with Tim. Ted Meyer gets on the board for the second week in a row with a sterling +4, edging out Nick Dejesus and John Hrenko in a card-off. 

   Ed MacNeil had a fine +3 and couldn't have asked for a better partner when he drew Bill Simmons (+6) as an alternate and they will be awarded 1st Team with their +9 total. 

   Bill was back in the act again when his +6 was complemented by a steady +1 from alternate Terry Moore. And the scorecards say that their +7 was better than the +7 of John Hrenko (+4) and the red-hot Mike Leonard (+3) for 2nd Team. John and Mike will have 3rd Team envelopes coming. 

   It wasn't quite like the one inch CTP recorded by Greg Paone last week, but a fine shot on the 4th got Big Bill Doonan to within 7'11" of the hole, only inches more than his height, for a CTP win this week. 

  The 1st was the only hole not birdied Tuesday, as we had six skins live: Co-star of the day Bill Simmons on 2, the always steady Bob Bourne on 3, sweet-swinging Mike McNeice on 4, the violent swinging Mike Bradley on 5, the resurgent Greg Paone (7), and fellow co-star of the day Tim Greene on 8. The 6th hole (Meyer, Hrenko) and the 9th (Leonard, Babyak, Simmons) were smashed. 

  We had 29 players sign up for the Backnine skins pool, but only seven birds were sunk, with three surviving. Chris Haslam will be rewarded for his 3 on the 12th, Tim Greene on 14, and the still steady Bob Bourne on 15. As required, the 13th was easily smashed (Curtis, Doonan, Murphy, Dugan). 

  Of the 22 plus scores this week, nine were "exceptional" (+3 or better). Seven of the nine won money, and the two hard-luck standouts who didn't cash were Nick Dejesus at +4 and Andrew Dugan at +3. Highpointers were Bill Simmons, Greg Paone, and Mike McNeice with 17 points each. 

  And finally, only one week left to the regular season. Sorry for the truncated season, but factors beyond our control (rain outs, wash outs, aeration course closure) made it difficult to get out on the course this year. However, we will have an increased amount of cash left over to be applied to tournament prize money, etc. 

   Today is the last day to let us know if you are out for the tourney. Thanks. 

   See you next Tuesday.
