HIGHPTNRS:       STEVE LOZZI, JOHN MACNEIL        18 pts.


 Well, the week off apparently did us a world of good, as SIGLers
had the best collective week in memory, with an incredible 25 golfers who posted +3 or better. The course has really dried out (no more wet shoes every round Teddy) and the greens are running smooth and true, so that helped scores, too. 

  The always steady Steve Lozzi had his best night of the year with 18 points, producing a super +7. (And shot a crisp 77.) Rookie Bill Simmons, just trying to catch up to his money machine playing partner Ned Babyak, also exploded for his best night of the year, tying Steve at +7. Steady Steve's bogey on 1 was good enough to take the tie-breaker for 1st. 

  Johnny MacNeil continues his superlative play and recorded his own 18 points and +6. And again, it paid to be an alternate as Mark Spear stepped in for a no show with a fine +3 to pair up with J. Mac to take 1st Team honors at +9. 

  There was a real traffic jam for 2nd Team with five teams tied at +7: McGarry/Spears alt., Keating/Spears alt., Lozzi/Silvia, Hrenko/Bourne, Simmons/Doonan. (Try not to tie so much; it took me a half hour to figure out the tie-breaker.) But the team that made it through the pile-up was the honorable duo of John Hrenko at +5 and Bob Bourne with a +2. 

  Ed Finn continues his envelope collection routine, this week with a winning approach on 2 to 12'8" to take CTP cash. 

  For all the really great scoring, surprisingly there were only nine birdies on the front. J. MacNeil will be rewarded for his lead-off birdie on the 1st hole, Greg Willard will collect for a fine bird on 7, and the productive Bob Loring will gladly take the cash for his 3 on the 8th. The 3rd hole (Payne, Simmons, Aronson) and 9 (Fay, Ed MacNeil, Lozzi) were smashed. 

  There are too many players at an outstanding +3 to mention, but hard-luckers this week who had great nights but no pay-off are Saul Payne at +5, and John Tracy, Rick Keating, and Mike Leonard, all at +4. High points this week was 18, earned by Steve Lozzi and John MacNeil. 

  There was improved participation in the Back Nine birdie pool, and seven birdies were sunk, with two getting paid. Ed MacNeil will be picking up an envelope for his winning birdie on 12, and Bob Loring (I told you he was productive) adds to his stash with a 2 on 14. The 13th hole was smashed (Doonan and Thompson) and the 17th was cancelled out by Keating, Lozzi, and Finn. 

  And again, in Easton CC tournament play, SIGLers continue to shine with 12 league members on teams in the money at the recent Red, White, and Blue event. 

  And finally, welcome aboard to newcomer Bill Humphrey, who will hopefully turn the dynamic duo of Shannon and Thompson into a terrific trio. 

  See you next Tuesday.

HIGHPNTR:     MIKE MCNEICE                      21


  Where was everyone last night? For those of you who chose to sit it out, and there were many, your first mistake was was listening to the weather dopes on TV. They miss more calls than a blind umpire. 

  We are really starting to hit our stride, and there were many really outstanding scores. Mike McNeice exploded for three birds and a super 21 points, a total achieved only a few times since Rich McKenna used to do it on a regular basis. Smooth Mike's +9 will easily take 1st Individual honors. We had an impressive four golfers (Babyak, Loring, Szczurko, Keating) at +6 and the hot Bob Loring rose above the pack with his pars on 1 and 5 to win the card-off. And he was so pleased with his second week in a row with 17 points, he exclaimed, "I'm going to Disney World!" 

 With so many no-shows, it was a good week to be first alternate and Dan Szczurko, back in the SIGL family after a year's sabbatical, really took advantage with a season best +6 to pair up with Mr. McNeice's +9 to take 1st Team at +15. And again as an alternate, Dan's +6 was coupled with a fine +3 from Saul Payne to take the 2nd Team prize. 

  For the second week in a row rookie Ned Babyak nailed Closest to Pin honors with an outstanding approach on 9 to 4'6" that inched out Terry Moore's fine shot to 5'6", and has now won dough three weeks in a row. (Ned, you picked up your old envelope from the box but left your new one. Now you have a new old one and a new new one. Also, you must circle birdies to get credit.)

  We had a healthy 14 birdies on the front side, but only two will be getting rewarded with cash. Rick Keating is working his way back from surgery in fine fashion with a nifty birdie on the 6th, and Mr. Loring's 3 on 7 will take half the pot. Birds on 2 (McNeice, Babyak), 3 (Doonan, Szczurko), 4 (Doonan, McNeice), 8 (McNeice, Mark Nolan), and 9 (Szczurko, Babyak, James, G. Willard) did not survive. 

  There were only four birdies sunk on the back nine, and two will live. Steve Lozzi has been racking up a bunch of birdies lately, and his 3 on 11 will split the pot with this humble hacker who sunk a bomb from the back collar on 12. Steve and playing partner Doc Payne cancelled each other out on 13. 

  There were many plus performances and a handful of players had really good nights but will not make the money list: TJ James and Bill Doonan, earned +4 each, and John Fay, Steve Danieli, Steve Dasaro, and Jay Chapman came in at +3. Highpointer was Mike McNeice with 21.  

  Welcome back to last year's scoring leader Bob Bourne, who has pretty much been on the disabled list all year. Good luck with the back, Bob.   

   And finally, a Happy 4th of July to all. Traditionally, we have taken this week off, and again this year there will be a number of golfers away, so there will be no SIGL golf on July 2nd. We will resume on July 9th. With a little cooperation from the weather from here on in, we should be able to get in all our weeks prior to the October 13th year-end tourney.  

  See you next Tuesday (not).

 Well, it was Tuesday so that means weather was an issue again. It wasn't perfect but we got through the round, and with pretty good attendance to boot. 

  Unlike previous weeks when scores were pretty much uniformly good or bad, this week scores were all over the lot, with many really good and many really bad.  

   On the good side, we had an impressive 19 players who were +2 or better. The leader of the plus pack this week was steady Bob Loring who had a breakout performance with 17 points, good for a +7, 1st Individual, and a crisp 77. Right behind him, Mike Nolan had maybe his career SIGL round with an outstanding +6 to take 2nd Individual. 

   Mr. Loring (+7) had a steady partner in Bill Doonan (E) and their + 7 would tie the powerful team of Rich White (+4) and Ed Finn (+3) at +7. The White/Finn duo takes 1st Team honors with a card-off win on Hole 5.  And Big Ed turned in his own tight 77.  

   Steve Lozzi set the standard early for Closest to Pin on 8 at 12'0", but rookie Ned Babyak came along soon thereafter with a neat 10'4", which stood up for the rest of the day, to cash for the second week in a row. (Ned, you have a cash envelope in the cigar box from a couple of weeks ago, and that goes for you too Bradley.) Mystery golfer Mike Hunt again recorded his standard 69 feet on the CTP marker, but Mike Hunt should not hold out much hope of ever winning Closest because Mike Hunt is not an SIGL member and 69 feet very rarely wins anyway. 

  For all the good scores, surprisingly there were only nine frontside birdies, with three paying off. The always steady Mike McNeice will be rewarded for his winning bird on 4, while Mike Nolan will collect for his 3 on 8, and Paul Begley gets on the money board with a nice birdie on the 9th. Birdies on 2 (J. MacNeil, White), 3 (E. MacNeil, Svirsky), and 6 (Thompson, Loring) are cancelled out. 

   We had plenty of good performances that were not rewarded with cash prizes. There were many at +2, and Scott Silvia with a fine +3, Paul McDermott, John Fay, and Rick Keating all at +4, and hard-luck Terry Thompson at +5. High pointer was Bob Loring with 17. 

   There was limited participation in the Back Nine skins pool, and there were only five birdie putts sunk. Ed Finn stuck one tight on 12 for a tap in, Steve Lozzi dueced the tough 16th, and Dan Svirsky birdied the now more accommodative 18th hole to divvy up the pot. Mr. Lozzi and Mr. Finn covered each other on 13. 

  We have hit the quarter pole of the season and we have dispensed $1,722 in cash prizes, spread out over 31 players. Top winners, and those that have hit the $100 mark are: Finn ($168), Danieli ($131), Tracy ($125), White ($106), McNeice ($101), and Shannon ($100). 

   Housekeeping: 1) There will be no golf on Tuesday, July 2nd. 2) Please put last names on the scorecard. We have 56 players and many with the same first names. Submitting cards with first names only or initials only makes it needlessly difficult for us to figure out whose card we are looking at.  

  And finally, SIGLers continue to shine in Easton CC tournaments. In last week's Lone Ranger tourney, of the four 4-man teams that finished in the money (1st - T3rd) 10 of those 16 players were proud members of SIGL: White, McDermott, James (2nd), and Russell, Doonan, Hrenko (T3rd), and McNeice, Paone, Lozzi, and Barry (T3rd). Nice work men. 

  See you next Tuesday.

WEEK 5 CTP:                                                    8TH


  It looks like we're finally starting to hit our stride, with good attendance and much improved scores from the first three weeks, with 30 players meeting or exceeding quota.  (Although still only four frontside birdies.)

  Terry Thompson made up for a slow start to the season with a breakout night garnering 16 points, good for a +6 and 1st Individual. And having his career best night, Red Rocketeer Chris Sullivan recorded 10 points, resulting in his own +6 and 2nd Individual. Tall Terry's bogey on 1 was good enough to win the tie-breaker.

  Both of the top Individuals had partners with good nights, but it wasn't good enough to top the dynamic duo of the Brit with Grit Terry Moore at +5 and Steady Eddie Finn with a +4 who took 1st Team at +9. Joe Curtis made the most of his first appearance of the year, and of being an alternate, by
tallying his own +5 and was teamed up with the resurgent Mike Bradley, who turned in another +4, resulting in their own +9 for 2nd Team honors. Terry and Ed take first by virtue of their pars on the 1st hole.

  Brian Murphy had his best night in a while, and will be rewarded for his superb tee shot on 6 that settled 5'5" from the target, good for Closest to Pin money.

   Despite the many good scores, there were surprisingly only four birdies, and two will pay. The affable John Tracy will be rewarded for his skin bird on 2, and congrats to rookie Neil Babyak who will get paid for his winning birdie on 8, and who, like a business framing its first dollar, will frame his first SIGL cash and hang in his man cave. Murphy sunk his birdie putt on 6, but was smashed by
spoiler Terry Thompson.

   We had 11 different golfers collect cash this week. And quite a few who had excellent nights but no reward: Eric Aronson, Steve Peterson, and Steve Mattes carded +3 each, and +2 was earned by Raynard, Spears, Leach, Szczurko, Turchette, and Lozzi. Highpointer was Terry Thompson with 16 points.

  Apparently the putts were dropping a little better on the back, as seven birdies were returned with two paying. Jim Shannon made up for a poor frontside by rattling off birdies on 10, 11, and 13 and will be paid for 10. And the productive John MacNeil will have an envelope for his winning birdie on 12. Birdies on 11 (Shannon, Thompson) and 13 (Shannon, James, Eddie MacNeil) did not survive.

 Housekeeping: 1) Mike Leonard pick up your envelope. 2) Two weeks in a row now (not the same group) we have had a foursome play and not turn in a card. If you do not submit a scorecard on Tuesday night then your round will not count. 3) Rookies: you can pick up winning envelopes in the cigar box on the right side of the bar. 4) Let's hope those plastic hole liners are a temporary thing because they are starting to pop up slightly on some holes, and can easily prevent a slow moving putt from dropping in the side.

  And finally, pants off... I mean hats off to the Easton grounds crew for working hard to get the course in much improved shape after very trying conditions this year so far. The rough has become playable again, and the greens remain some of the best around.

  See you next Tuesday.


                                         NO, I SAID HATS OFF!

WEEK 4 CTP:                                                             6TH


  In the sixties, Bob Hope made a bad movie called If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium. Well we star in a bad movie called If It's Tuesday, The Weather Will Surely Suck. Another tough day, particularly later. But if the Red Sox could get their game in, so could we. It was a good week to be an alternate, as many of our daintier players stayed home and dry.

  It could be the weather and conditions, or our general lack of skill but again scores were well below
average, even hitting from the Combination tees. There were only nine players and a handful of teams who exceeded quota.

  Greg Willard got an immediate return on his investment of new Cobra King One-Length irons (all irons the same shaft length) with a league leading +5 to take Individual honors. Right behind him, Ed Leach got on the money board with an outstanding +4 to take 2nd Individual.

  Greg's partner was no help, so Ed Leach (+4) and his partner, alternate Bob Loring (+1) stepped up to earn the 1st Team prize at +5. And the duo of Mark Nolan and John MacNeil had solid performances at +2 each to claim 2nd Team at +4.

  Rick Walsh continues his solid play, and this week will be rewarded for his fine approach on 4 to 16'6" to take Closest to Pin cash.

   Birdies have been hard to come by this year, and this week only six were posted on the front, with four surviving. This humble hacker hit only two greens in regulation, but made both of them count with birdie conversions on the 3rd and 6th. Greg Willard used his new sticks to get one close on 7 and made the birdie putt, and Mike Leonard made up for an otherwise disappointing night with a paying birdie on 8. Buddies Mark Nolan and Wayne Musgrove cancelled each other out on the 2nd hole. 

   As noted, not a lot of good scoring this week, so the only notables that were not in the money were TJ James and Mike Bradley at +3, and John Fay and Big Bill Doonan (who shot a stellar 78 the next day in difficult conditions) each at +2. Highpointer for the night was Greg Willard with 14.

  There was limited participation in the back nine skins pool and there were only three birdies on the night. This writer continued with a hot putter and drained on bomb on 12. Mighty Ed Finn had a legit look at eagle on the 13th from just off the green, and settled for an easy bird. And the pride of Meffa, Peter Frasca, made a heck of a 2 on 16 to take a share of the pool. 

  Closest to Pin for Week 4 is the 6th hole.

  And finally, rest in peace Bill Buckner. A fine gentleman who frequented our Easton fairways when he was the manager of the Brockton Rox a few years ago. Sadly, he will not be remembered for an outstanding major league career that spanned four decades (1969-1990), but instead only for one weak grounder that got away. 

  See you next Tuesday.

WEEK 3 CTP:                                   4TH


  For whatever reason, we had a bunch of no-shows Tuesday, and based on the way we played, maybe we would have been better off if we had all stayed home. Whether you played the ball up in the rough or down (more about that later) it didn't seem to matter as we were a collective 51 points below quota, with only nine individuals, and only two teams out of 28, exceeding quota. Yikes. 

  If you managed to eke out a plus score, you had a real good chance of winning money this week. And two out of the three top performers happened to get paired up this week, so Jay Chapman with a fine +3 and partner Gary Russell with his own +3 will take 1st Team honors at +6. The only other teams in plus territory will also cash as Mike Nolan at +2 and Greg Willard also at +2 are 2nd Team winners. 

    Top dog this week was Honest John Fay who turned in an outstanding +4 to take 1st Individual bragging rights. Plus 3 will take 2nd Individual, and Gary Russell's bogey on 1 will decide a card-off over Mayhem Bradley's and Jay Chapman's +3. 

   John MacNeil jumped on the money train with a stellar approach shot to 4'5" on the 3rd Hole to capture the Closest to Pin award.

   With 46 guys having nine shots at it each, there were only four birdies on the night. Johnny Mac naturally sunk his birdie putt on 3 but was smashed by John Hrenko. That will leave a fine birdie on 6 by Jim Shannon and big-hitter Greg Willard's 4 on 9 as the winning
birds, taking home $55 each. 

   The back nine was equally stingy in the birdie department, with only three made, and all will pay. Mike McNeice made up for a lackluster front side with winning birds on 10 and 12, and steady Bob Loring made an impressive 3 on the difficult 15th. 

   There were not a lot of notables aside from those winning money. The only other plus quota players on the entire roster were Mike Bradley at +3 and Rick Walsh and rookie Ned Babyak at +1. Highpointer was Gary Russell at 13. 

   And finally, SIGL management has to apologize for a late decision (10:00 AM) to play the ball up everywhere instead of just the fairway. Although the decision was sound, we forgot that there are now a couple of groups that go out really early, so they played 
the ball down in the rough instead. (For the record, their scores were no worse than those who played it up everywhere.) Most of the time, late is better than never, but this was a case of late is worse than never. For the rest of the season, the ball may be played up (preferred lie) ONLY in the fairway of the hole being played. You may not touch the ball in the rough unless it is in casual water or is embedded in its own pitchmark. 

  See you next Tuesday.

   WK 2 CTP:       3RD HOLE


     Well, we held off starting the season for as long as we could, but it was still sloppy out there, although nothing compared to a couple of weeks ago. Playing from the Combination tees has met with widespread approval, although it didn't do much for our scores, as only 16 out 51 entrants exceeded quota. 

    But we did have a handful of players who were in midseason form. Easy Ed Finn came out of the gate in fine fashion with a birdie, 17 points, and a +6 performance. After a double bogey on 1, he was even par for the rest of the front. His partner Steve Danieli contributed a fine +3 himself, and they will take 1st Team honors at +9. Dan Svirsky shook off some tough early season rounds with an outstanding +5, and his mate Mayhem Mike (Bradley) threw in a +1 to secure 2nd Team at +6.

   Veteran SIGLer Terry Thompson kicked off the season as a new Easton CC member along with playing partner and friend Jim Shannon in good form with a superb +6 to earn the 1st Individual prize. His bogey on 1 was good enough to win a card-off with Ed Finn, who will take the 2nd Individual cash.  

   Steve Lozzi and Company were the first SIGLers on the course and Steve promptly set the standard for Closest to Pin on the 2nd hole with a nifty approach to 8 feet. It survived for a long time, until Mr. Rich White came along and stuck one to 2'4" to earn the prize. 

   Although the greens had been aerated and were otherwise pretty rough (TJ described the ball bouncing its way to the hole like playing plinko), somehow we had a respectable 14 birdies on the 
front side, with four paying cash money. Billy Doonan came out like gangbusters and promptly birdied the first hole to take a quarter of the pot ($28). Rich White sunk his two-footer on 2, and for good measure, added another on 4. Right before teeing off, Rich paid his first half dues, and after four holes on day one, had earned back the whole thing, plus some. RAW talent. Birdies on 3 (Svirsky, Thompson, Loring, Lozzi), 6 (Danieli, Hrenko), and 9 (Leach, Simmons, Svirsky, J. MacNeil) did not survive. 

  The back nine skins pool yielded only three birds, and two were smashed on 13 by Rich White and Mike Leonard. So that leaves Steve Danieli taking the whole $106 with his score of 3 on the 12th hole. 

   Players who had a good night but did not share in any cash prizes include Steve Lozzi and Ed Leach at +3, and Ted Meyer, Paul Raynard, Bill Simmons, and Peter Frasca, all at +2. Ed Finn takes Highpointer honors with 17. 

   A hearty SIGL welcome goes out to newcomers Bill Simmons and Ned Babyak. If you need to know how things work, just ask 
Sully, (who will ask somebody else.) 

   And finally, there were way too many SIGL members who played Tuesday but did not pay their first half dues. Anyone who played Tuesday but did not pay will not be eligible for any competition or prize money next week, unless a check accompanies your scorecard in the cigar box. No excuses, not matter how "creative" (translation: bullshit) will be accepted. 

  See you next Tuesday.
