   Well, we had the best turnout of the year, and the best scoring of the year, too, with 34 players exceeding quota, 12 at even, and only 13 below. Even better, there were only five teams under quota. 

    The best of the lot this week though is Bob Williams who posted a career high 11 points, good for an outstanding +6 and 1st Individual. Right behind Bob, we find Alex Turchette and rookie Dan Raymo, who both posted strong +5s, with Dan taking 2nd Individual in the tiebreaker, and Alex accepting 3rd. 

   All three Individual winners will also be part of the three winning Teams. Dan (+5) had the strongest partner in Mike Leonard's +3, and they will take 1st Team honors at +8. Bob (+6) was paired with Greg Jurgy who finished +1, and their +7 will best the +7 of Alex (+5) and Larry Barry's +2. 

   Ed Finn's approach on the 8th to 7'8" looked good until late in the day when Dylan Amaral just missed an eagle as his ball came to rest 18" from the hole, to take the CTP prize. 

   There were a decent 14 birdies sunk on the front, with two survivors. Paul Murphy had a good night, especially with a $60 birdie on 3, and rookie Tim Greene will receive his first envelope for his fine birdie on the 7th hole. With 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9 covered, 1 and 2 were the only holes not birdied. Covered: 4th: Paone, Szczurko. 5th: Finn, Raymo. 6th: Barry, Leonard, Dugan. 8th: Finn, Newman, Amaral. 9th: Paone, J. MacNeil.  

  As usual, there were a lot of good scores that were not rewarded. Notables who did not cash are Tracy, Newman, and Spears, all at +4 and Dugan, Haslam, Gormley, Moore, and Pete Murphy at +3. This week, highpointer honors will go to Greg Paone and Paul Newman at 16 points. 

  The Back Nine skins pool had 26 entrants, nine birdies, and two skins. Another rookie, Ronnie Duff was the sole birder on the 10th, and the always solid Steve Lozzi will get an envelope for his 3 on 12. Naturally the 13th hole was covered (McDermott, Dugan, Silvia) but it was surprising to see four birdies on 15: Duff, Turchette, White, Silvia. 

   A tip of the cap to Mike Wall who, last Wednesday, aced the 6th hole at Easton for his first career hole in one. With his strong game, no doubt Mike has put a thousand shots within a few feet of the pin through the years, so it's nice to see one finally drop in. 

  And as predicted, SIGLers kicked some ass again in Easton CC tournament play. Of 14 Eastoners who finished in the money, 10 were SIGLers! Congrats to Paul McDermott who was one half of the 1st Place duo. Chuck Mathieson and Mike Leonard took T2nd, TJ and Jurgy nabbed 4th, and M. Silva, Svirsky, Danieli, White, and McNeice were all T5. Nice job men. 

  And finally, Steve Danieli and Jay Chapman - pick up your envelopes from previous weeks, before we donate the money to The Little Sisters of the Poor. 

  See you next Tuesday.

      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.

  Well, it's time once again to dip our hand into the SIGL Excuse Bag to come up with why we sucked two weeks in a row now. And, let's see....it's aerated greens, yeah that's it. We had 30 players fail to reach quota, eight who broke even, and 17 who surpassed their number. And only six teams had a plus aggregate. There were a measly six birdies on the front and five on the backside. 

  But going against the grain, Steve Danieli chose this week to have his best performance in a while with a strong +6 to take 1st Individual. Right behind him (no jokes please) was Mayhem Mike Bradley who returned a stellar +5 to secure 2nd. And after a card-off with Bill McIntyre and Jamie Gormley, Andrew Dugan will take 3rd Individual at +4.  

   Danieli and Bradley had no help from their respective partners (that's being kind) but Andrew Dugan at +4 drew his playing partner Chris Haslam as an alternate (+1) to take 1st Team at +5. Ed Finn cashes two weeks in a row with a solid +3, and paired with alternate Nick DeJesus (E) will earn 2nd Team. A card-off was needed for 3rd, and Bill McIntyre's +4 coupled with Bill Simmons at -2 was good enough to prevail over Danieli/Walsh. 

   Apparently rookie Chuck Mathieson thinks the weekly CTP prize is his personal piggy bank, as his 10'5" on the 4th hole went unsurpassed all day long. 

   As noted, there was a paltry six birdies on the frontside, with two paying off. Johnny MacNeil gets on the gravy train with a bird on 6, and rookie Ronnie Duff had a nice 3 on the 7th, and they will split the pot. Hard luck birders were TJ and Mark Nolan on the 5th hole and Ed Finn and Steve Danieli on 9.  

  Even with a robust 31 entrants in the back nine skins pool, there were only five birds, and again, two will be rewarded. Rich White salvaged a disappointing round with a lucrative bird on 16, and Chris Regan, who has a knack for collecting envelopes, will add to his retirement fund with the sole birdie on 18. The 13th was birdied by Mathieson, Duff, and Mike Silva.    

   I haven't processed all the checks yet, but anyone who has played either Week 1 or Week 2 and hasn't paid yet, will be dropped from the roster. Also, with membership bursting at the seams with 68 players, SIGL is not currently accepting any more newcomers. We will reassess at the beginning of the second half. And finally, for newcomers this year, no you can't bring in a guest as a substitute for yourself or someone in your foursome. Your dues covers you only. If, on occasion, a non-SIGLers plays in your group, he must pay his own greens fee and make sure to keep his name off the SIGL sign-in sheet. Thanks. 

 See you next Tuesday.

  Did everyone get the memo? We're bursting at the seams this year with 68 players, but for some reason, had 17 no shows on opening night. Do we have some no-tell dropouts? And a look at most of the scorecards would suggest that more of us should have stayed home. Out of 51 golfers, only 10 surpassed +1, and we had a bunch of sizable minus scores. It's early yet. 

  Willard the Elder was one of the few with a big night with a robust +4, good for 1st Individual. Chris Regan picked up where he left off and returned a strong +3 and 2nd Individual with a card-off over Rick Walsh at +3 who won the card-off for 3rd over Pete Murphy and Dan Szczurko. 

  But Dan's +3 was paired with Rick's +3 and that is good for 1st team honors. Chris Regan's +3 was complemented by Rich White's respectable +1 for 2nd, and a card-off win over Dana Willard +4 and alternated Ed Finn's even score, who will take 3rd Team. (With the increase in players this year, we are now paying 3 places for Individual and Team.)

  It usually takes 10 feet or better on par 5 CTPs, but this week, rookie Chuck Mathieson's 25'5" proved to be good enough to earn Chuck his first envelope.   

  There was a modest 10 birdies on the front and all except one were on holes 3,4, and 8. So that leaves sharpshooter Mike Wall's birdie on 9 as the sole winner of the skins pot. 

   With 18 points, Chris Regan will take highpointer honors. 

   We had 27 entrants in the Back Nine skins pool but only two birdie bids found the hole, so John MacNeil on 10 and rookie Dan Raymo (14) will divvy up the $135 pot. 

    Easton CC has informed us that the front nine will be closed for aeration next week for most or all of the day. Therefore, SIGL league play will be on the back nine. Extra golf may be played on the back nine again, or the front if the front reopens later in the day. There will be no Back Nine skins pool. Closest to Pin will be the 13th hole (3rd shot). 

    Tee times: Although you cannot reserve a team for the entire year, you can reserve the time one week ahead, So for instance, when you sign in next week for Week 2, be sure to reserve your Week 3 tee time then. 

   And finally, we say good bye and good luck to good guys Jim Shannon, Terry Thompson, and Bob Shannon who will be moving on to greener fairways (in Rhode Island no less.) Welcome back to Jay Chapman, Greg Jurgilewicz, Pat Heffernan, and Sean Knowles, and we welcome aboard newcomers Misters Dugan, Haslam, Dejesus, Greene, Newman, Mathieson, Raymo, and Duff. (Hope I didn't miss anyone,)

  See you next Tuesday.

   This concludes the regular season, but as many groups will, feel free to keep your tee time on Tuesdays on your own dime until we are victims of the dark.  

   Well, we finished the year right around the norm as usual, with scores down the middle with 25 players exceeding quota, five right on the mark, and 21 not measuring up. 

  This humble hacker saved his best night for last with a hearty 18 points, good for a +7 and 1st Individual, and the first time on the money board. 

   Greg Paone continues his red-hot play right into the tournament,  topping last week's 19 points with a super 21 and a +6 which takes 2nd Individual. 

   Neither Individual winner had much help, so Team honors were there for taking. And so up stepped four players all at +4s. Although none of them, like Payne Stewart, wore plus fours. The pairing of Peter Frasca and Mike Leonard will take 1st Team at +8 in a cardoff win (Frasca par on 5) over the +8 of John Tracy and Mike Bradley. 

   Mike Wall finished the year with another envelope with his fine approach on the 6th hole to 15'7" winning Closest to Pin. 

   We had a healthy 11 birdies on the front side, but like last week on the front and back sides, there will be only one winner. And amazingly, it will be for a birdie on the 9th hole by John Tracy. (It's amazing that there was only one bird on 9. It's not amazing that John Tracy got a birdie.) 

   The 3rd hole was covered by Paone, Sweet, Pryles, and Leonard. The 5th did not survive (Barry, Paone, Mark Nolan), and the 8th went down (Barry, Paone, McDermott). 

 The back nine skins pool had 28 entrants and, like the front, there were 11 birdies sunk. With the only hole smashed being 13 (Thompson, J. Shannon, Babyak, J. MacNeil, Doonan), there were a very unusual 6 skins: Finn (10), Lozzi (11), Thompson (12), Danieli (14), Lozzi (15), and Lozzi on 16.  

  And with six pars and three birdies, Steve Lozzi had a fantastic 32 on the back nine, the second time this year that Lozz went 3 under on a side. 

  Notables who did not cash: Mark Nolan at +5, and Dylan Amaral, Mike Sweet, and Joe Curtis at +3. Highpointer was Greg Paone with 21 points. 

  We forgot to mention last week but it seems that every ECC tourney is dominated more by SIGLers than the last one. The VJL Cup was held a couple of weeks ago, and SIGL practically swept the field: 1st Place was taken by Steve Lozzi, Lou Silva, Mike Wall, and Rich White. And we had Bob Loring and Len Lima as part of the 2nd placers, TJ James and Paul McDermott in for 3rd, and John Hrenko and Steve Danieli 4th. Nice job men! 

  And finally, last call to let us know if you are not playing in the tourney. If you are a no-show, no-tell, then you will be billed by SIGL for a greens fee and dinner. Teams and other details of the tourney will be forthcoming soon. 

  See you on October 4th.

 This week was a little below average with 24 not making the grade, 7 hitting their mark on the button, and 21 exceeding quota, with only six players better than +2. 

  Dylan Amaral popped for a season best 39, good for 15 points, and a +6, good for 1st Individual. 

  We had a three-way tie at +4 for 2nd Individual between Greg Paone, Jim Shannon, and Brian Murphy. And Mr. Paone's birdie on 5 will settle the matter. 

   Dylan (+6) drew a good partner in the the steady Mike Silva, who threw in a respectable +1 to contribute to 1st Team honors.

   Jim Shannon (+4) lost out on the 2nd Ind. card-off, but will cash in for 2nd Team with the always dependable Mike McNeice who came in at Even, for a team +4.

   Ed Finn bent one in toward the hole on 4, and his 6'4" was not seriously challenged the rest of the day for a CTP reward. 

   For whatever reason the putts were not dropping as an anemic five birdies bids found the hole on the front, on only three holes. When the dust cleared the only live skin was that of Dan Svirsky on 6, and Dan will take the whole pot. The only other birdies were Paone and Wall on 5, and Paone and J. Shannon on the 9th. 

  We had the largest Backnine skins pool of the year with 30 entrants, and there were eight contender birdies. But as on the front, only one stood above the rest, and that would be Chris Regan's 3 on the 18th hole. And so Chris can look forward to collecting his $150 envelope next week. Smashed holes were 11 (Bourne, Thompson), 12 (Babyak, Regan) and 13 (Doonan, J. Shannon, Regan). 

   As noted, there were only six players who exceeded +2 this week, and three were rewarded with cash. The tough luckers who did not were Brian Murphy at +4 and Terry Thompson and Dan Szczurko at +3. Highpointer was Greg Paone with 19 points. 

  And finally, there will be some covid policy restrictions pertaining to the year-end banquet. The dinner line will be inside, but our tables will be on the patio outside the function room. Tables will be spread out and there will be only four persons at each table. Easton requires table assignments and that the assignment is based on who you play with. (Whoever you play with, you sit with.) This year, we will make every effort to pair you up with golfers that you typically play with during the season. However, since each group must have an A, B, C, and D player, there are limitations to this. 

  And don't forget: If you will not be playing, you must let us know now. 

   See you next Tuesday.
