  So, where were we? Hard to believe but we have only two weeks left to play. And that means that it's almost time for the year-end tourney. It will be held on Sunday, Oct 4th at 8:30 AM with tee times followed by an outdoor (the function room patio with tent) banquet. Next week there will be a sheet that everyone must sign. Next to your name write IN or OUT. No MAYBES and if it remains blank after Week 20, then you will not be in the tourney. 

   We had a weak turnout Tuesday with 11 no-shows. Scores were right around the norm with 24 players above quota, 7 on the mark, and 19 below their number. 

  Mike Leonard continues his outstanding play and had a season-high 14 points good for +6 and 1st Individual. Dylan Amaral also had his season high 14 points, resulting in a +5 and 2nd Individual in a card-off win over Peter Frasca's fine +5. 

  Andy Pryles had another outstanding night at +4 and was paired with the always steady Steve Lozzi who chipped in with a +3 to take 1st Team at +7. 

  Mike Leonard's 1st Individual +6 was partnered with an Even from Chris Regan to earn 2nd Team honors at +6.

   Mr. Regan was looking good all day for Closest to Pin on the 2nd hole, but late in the day Greg Willard snuck one in to 3'10". 

    The greens were not rolling and there was a measly eight birdies on the front side, and half will get rewarded. Chris Regan birdied the 2nd, Bob Loring on 6, Dan Szczurko had a 3 on the 7th, and surprisingly, Andy Pryles had the only bird on 9. The 5th (Thompson, Frasca), and the 8th (Lozzi, Finn) were covered. 

     The was a season-high $140 in the backnine skins pool and there were twice as many birdies on the back as there were on the front. Survivors were Terry Thompson on 10, Bob Bourne on 11, Rich White-15, and Ned Babyak on the 17th. Covered: 12: Hrenko, J. Shannon, 13: Leonard, Svirsky, White, McNeice, Thompson, Doonan, 14: J. MacNeil, Svirsky, Doonan, and 18: Frasca, McDermott. 

    Players with outstanding nights who did not cash: Frasca +5, Silvia, D. Willard, Bradley at +4, and Finn and Meyer at +3. Highpointer was Steve Lozzi with 17.

  And finally, The Dirty Dozen wants to say thanks to all of you who expressed your concern the past few weeks over our recent unfortunate travails. 

  See you next Tuesday.

  We had the lowest attendance of the year, with 10 players AWOL. But we continued our fine play with 25 exceeding quota, 10 hitting their number on the dot, and 15 coming up short. 

   This week's young standout was rookie Andy Pryles who popped for 16 points, good for +7 and 1st Individual. Chris Sullivan continues his resurgence with an outstanding +6 to take 2nd Individual. 

   Andy had just enough help from partner Bill McIntyre at +2 to give Pryles/McIntyre a +9 and 1st Team honors. And likewise, Mr. Sullivan was not hurt, with his partner Bill Simmons providing a +1 and they will take 2nd Team at +7. 

  Top dog Andy Pryles added to his winnings with a tight approach on the 4th to earn CTP honors. (Although he could use some practice on how to fill out the marker.)  

   There were a modest 10 birdies on the front, and surprisingly five of those will get paid. John MacNeil was all alone in birdieing 2, his partner in crime Joe Curtis followed that with one on 3, Andy converted his six-footer on the 4th, a tough pin on 6 did not deter Chris (Sully) Sullivan from a deuce on 6, Jim (Shanny) Shannon recorded a bird on the 7th. 

   The 5th hole was cancelled by Hrenko and Dasaro, while 9 had birds by Paone, Wall, and M. Silva. (Knowing that a birdie is seldom good enough for a skin on 9, Mike Silva made a chip-in eagle on 9 in his Wednesday morning group.)    


   The Back Nine skins pool had 21 entrants with 8 birdie bids finding the hole. But only one was unequaled, that being putting guru Bob Bourne's bird on 10. giving Bob the whole $105 pot. The 12th hole did not survive (Regan, M. Silva) and the 13th was humbled by Mark Nolan, Regan, Lozzi, Svirsky, J. Shannon.


   There were many fine scores that will go unrewarded. Leading the list is Bob Loring at +5, followed by Hrenko, Babyak, and Meyer at +4, and +3 was posted by Lozzi, Turchette, Dasaro, Wall, and Moore. Highpointer is Johnny MacNeil with 18. 

  And finally, SIGLers who occasionally bring a guest, please make sure that your guest's name does not end up on the SIGL sign-in sheet. Although the guest pays for himself at the desk before play, if the clerk puts the guest's name on the SIGL sheet it causes a billing problem and confusion, which has to be straightened out with Easton. Obviously, the desk clerk is getting the name from either you or your guest, so it is up to you the SIGL member to see that your guest's name does not show up on SIGL paperwork. 

   See you next Tuesday.  

                WHAT'S YOUR GUEST'S NAME?

         I REFUSE TO ANSWER THAT ON THE 
      GROUNDS THAT YOU MIGHT FUCK IT UP

  Well, we dodged another weather bullet Tuesday although torrential rains and wind late affected a couple of groups. Another fine day and night was had Tuesday as we had 25 players beat quota, 11 hit their quota on the dot, and 17 not measure up.   

   For the second week in a row, Jamie Gormley was red hot on the back of two birdies and his +8 will take 1st Individual. Also continuing a hot streak from last week is Dan McGarry whose +6 will earn him 2nd Individual. 

  For the Team competition, Dan's partner certainly did his part as Mark Spears paired his fine +4 with Mr. McGarry's +6 to take 1st Team at +10. A tie for 2nd Team at +6 between Mike McNeice (+3) and Dan Szczurko (+3), and Jamie Gormley +8/Mike Silva -2 was settled in a card-off with Mr. McNeice's par on the fifth. 

  Lou Silva went out early and posted a superb 3'11" on the 2nd hole for Closest to Pin, which looked like it would hold up all day, but Terry Moore came along late and rolled one to 3'9" to take the honors. (Although Lou was disappointed to lose CTP, he was secretly proud that he was two inches longer.) 

  There were a generous 17 birdies on the front this week but only four survived. Lou Silva started off on the right foot with a birdie on 1, second-half newcomer Bill McIntyre got on the money board with a bird on the 5th, Rick Walsh, putting from off the green dropped it in for a deuce on 6, and the always dependable Bob Bourne drained his birdie bid on 7. Birdies on the following holes were covered: 2 (Finn, Doonan, Tracy, Wall, Gormley, Silva), 4 (Lozzi, Bourne), 8 (McDermott, M. Silva, Barry), and the 9th (J. MacNeil, Gormley). For the second straight week, the 3rd was the only hole to repel all birdie bids. 

  There were 26 who entered the B9 skins pool and three will be paid. Ed Finn had the sole bird on 12, and Eric Aronson rode a gale-force wind on 13 to hit a gargantuan drive, leaving an easy approach in. On in two, he then drained the putt for the eagle. Nice job, Eric. And Rich White will take a third of the pot with his fine birdie on the 15th.  

  Uncompensated notable  performances this week were this humble hacker at +5, Lima, Dasaro, Doonan, and Tracy at +4, and James, McDermott, and Raynard at +3.    

  And finally, once again SIGLers did themselves proud in Easton CC tourney play. In last weekend's club championship, a tip of the cap to Greg Paone for a T1st in the A flight while his Tuesday playing partner Mike Wall took 3rd. Bob Loring earned 3rd in B, and congrats to TJ James with his win in D and to Len Lima for his fine 2nd place showing. Nice work men. 

 See you next Tuesday.

WEEK 13 CTP    2ND HOLE

  The weather threatened but didn't dare break up our run of great Tuesdays although staying in the shade helped to get through the round. Scores were a bit above normal with 22 players exceeding quota, 15 hitting their number exactly, and 16 falling short. 

  There was a handful of big plus scores and they were led by Greg Paone's big night. With three birds, five pars and a bogey, it doesn't take a math teacher to figure out that that comes out to a two under par 34 (career low?), a mighty 23 points, and a winning +9 for 1st Individual.

  We had a backup at +7 for 2nd, among Dan McGarry, Chris Sullivan, Jamie Gormley, and Bob Shannon, and Jamie settled that quickly with his birdie on 1, his first of the year coming at an opportune time. 

   Mr. Gormley and his +7 also had the good fortune to have a solid partner this week so Scott Silvia's strong +3 will give the duo an outstanding +10 and 1st Team. Being paired with standout Greg Paone, Eric Aronson didn't hurt the cause with an Even, so they took 2nd Team with +9. 

  On the 9th hole, we had the rare tie for Closest to Pin with Greg Willard and Mike Wall both recording 8'10" and so the prize will be split. 

  We had a plentiful 16 birdies on the front with three paying off. 
Jamie Gormley's 3 on the opening hole held up, Greg Paone's bird on 5 paid off, and Chris Sullivan, who had a career high 12 points bagged a skin on the 7th hole. 

  Covered holes: 2nd (Paone, McNeice, Walsh), 4th (Wall, Aronson), 6th (Musgrove, L. Silva), 8th (Paone, J. MacNeil) and the 9th (B. Shannon, G. Willard, Wall, L. Silva). The 3rd was the only hole without a circle. 

  The Back Nine birdie pool had 26 entrants and four winners: Greg Willard on 10, Mark Nolan, the 14th, Alex Turchette 15, and Bill Doonan on 18. Birdies on 12 (M. Silva, Lozzi, Regan), 13 (M. Silva, Silvia, G. Willard, D. Willard) and 16 (M. Silva, Mark Nolan, Sullivan, Turchette).   

   Notables who did not cash were Dan McGarry and Bob Shannon at +7, Wayne Musgrove at +6, and Lou Silva and Steve Dasaro at +4. Highpointer was Greg Paone. 

   And in the Grind It Out Dept.: Mark Spears had the hardest earned point you can imagine on the 3rd hole Tuesday:  First tee shot OB left. Second tee ball in woods on right, punch out to fairway, now laying 4. Sky it over the water and drop it in the hole for a 5. Nice.   

   As we start the second half, welcome aboard to newcomers Bob Shannon and Bill McIntyre. 

   Three times in the last two weeks, players have asked how to collect their winnings from the previous week: We thought it was pretty clear all year: If you have an envelope coming from the previous week, tell the desk clerk when you sign in, and he will give it to you.   

   And finally, this weekend brings Massachusetts amateur golf's premier event with the two-day Easton Country Club's club championship. Good luck to all SIGLers! 

  See you next Tuesday.   

   
                MR. PAONE, I CAME UP WITH 23 
   
                         OKAY THANKS SALLY
