  Well, we came back down to Earth this week after last week's stratospheric (good) scores, with results split pretty evenly between plus players, evens, and minuses. Of course, there is always a handful of real standouts, and this week's turn in the spotlight is headlined by Andrew Dugan who had his best day of the season with 17 points and a league-leading +6 for 1st Individual. 

  Trying to keep up with his friend and playing partner Andrew, Chris Haslam posted his best numbers to date, too with a +5 good for 2nd Individual. 

   We had a traffic jam for 3rd with Alex Turchette, Scott Silvia, Paul Raynard, and John Tracy all at +4. And a deep card-off reveals Mr. Silvia will get an envelope. 

    Chris Haslam had a good partner with Mark Spear's +2 and they will take 1st Team at +7.  Alex Turchette had one of his better nights at +4 and teamed with a nice +3 from Dylan Amaral to take 2nd Team at +7, after losing the card-off to Chris and Mark. 

   Andrew Dugan (+6) and Ned Babyak (E) will take a card-off win for 3rd Team over a valiant effort by Paul Raynard (+4) and Mark Nolan (+2). 

   Len Lima continues his good run, and this week will proudly accept payment for his fine shot into the CTP 6th hole to 8'2".  Playing partner Saul Payne, already in with his own birdie, was rooting for Len's bid to drop (no really) but it just missed.  

    After last week's amazing 24 birdies and an eagle, we toned it down a few notches with a very modest eight birdies on the front, with two paying off. Alex Turchette's envelope will be a little fatter with his excellent birdie on the 4th, and Saul Payne's deuce on 6 will take the other half of the pot. The 5th hole (Dejesus, Mark Nolan), the 7th (Dugan, Mathieson), and the 9th (Dugan, Sczcurko) were all smashed. 

   The only standouts who did not win money this week were John Tracy and Paul Raynard each at +4 and Ed Finn at +3. Highpointer was Andrew Dugan at 17 points. 

    We had only 27 entrants in the B9 skins pool, and only seven birdie bids found the hole, with two paying off.  Brian Murphy drilled an aggressive putt into the flagstick for a 3 on 11, and Chris Haslam topped off his day with a fine bird on 15. Smashed were 13 (M. Silva, Haslam, Dugan) and the 14th (Finn, Musgrove).  

  See you next Tuesday.

 Well, last week we played great, but apparently that was just a warm-up for what might be  the best scoring day in SIGL history. Congrats to Chris Regan (+11) who established what is thought to be a new all-time SIGL record by earning 25 points with an eagle, birdie, six pars, and a bogey, good for a 2 under par 34. (Career low, Chris?)   

  Jay Chapman had his best nine holes of golf in his career, SIGL or otherwise, when he sank three birdies on his way to a super 18 points, +11. Chris prevailed in a card-off for 1st Ind. and Jay will take 2nd. 

  Another having his best round in years, or maybe ever, was Mark Nolan coming in with 17 points and a +8, good for 3rd Ind. 

   Mr. Chapman had plenty of help for the Team competition from the red-hot Ed Finn, who threw a +5 Jay's way and they will take 1st Team at +16.

    Mark Nolan was also ably assisted by partner Andrew Dugan's +4 and they will claim 2nd Team at +12. 

    And for 3rd Team, we have two fine +5 performances each from John Tracy and Rick Walsh. Their +10 is a card-off win over Regan +11/Svirsky -1.   

   There was plenty of space available all day with 23' the best CTP late into the day, but along came Scott Silvia who tightened that up significantly by dropping one to 3'11" to take the prize, and by sinking a skins putt to boot. 

   We had a fantastic 24 birdies and an eagle on the front, but only two will pay off. Scott's 2 on 4 will take half the pot, and Mr. Regan's eagle on the 9th trumped the four birds on that hole. Holes 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 were heavily smashed. 

    The Back Nine skins pool had a more modest 11 birds, and again, two will survive. Eric Aronson will be picking up an $83 envelope for his birdie on the 14th, and Chuck Mathieson finally had a bird that lived, this one on 16.

   In addition to the aforementioned stars of the day, there many other notables, too many to mention. Including the winners, there were ten players at +4 or better. But we will note that Chuck Mathieson posted 20 points for a +5, and for his 18 holes had six birdies and a 74.

   And again, SIGLers did themselves proud in another Easton CC tournament, this time the annual club championship. Congrats are in order to the SIGLers that excelled: Greg Paone took 1st place in the A flight, with Rich White 3rd. Dan Svirsky was 2nd in the B, while Mike Leonard placed 1st in C flight and TJ 3rd, and Steve Danieli was T2 in D. Nice work men. 

   And finally, we are now entering Week 13, and there is still a large handful of players who have not paid. We have sent out two notifications regarding payments due. If you have not yet paid, and you do not contact us between now and next Monday to make firm arrangements for payment, then don't bother showing up Tuesday. Your name will be removed from the roster and team sheet. This league is too big as it is, and we don't need to carry freeloaders to boot.  

  See you next Tuesday.

  Well we couldn't have started off the second half of the 2021 season in better fashion. The course has dried out, is in great shape, and some SIGL troopers were really piling up the points, with 18 golfers at +3 or better. 

  Having his best SIGL day ever, the red-hot Mark Spears, chalked up 15 points, good for a First Place +8.

   And Dan Szczurko could not have started off his round any better, After a good drive, he had 160 in from the right rough. Lofting his 7-iron approach to the green, for some reason, no one in his group saw the result, and after looking short and long, the ball was found sitting quietly at the bottom of the cup. That 8 point start carried Dan to Second Individual at +6. 

   The resurgent Len Lima also had a super +6 himself, but was not able to match Dan's eagle in the card-off, and will take 3rd Ind.  

     Mr. Szczurko had himself a fine partner in the always steady Chris Regan, who contributed a +4 to Dan's +6, good for First Team at +10. 

     A couple of other standouts were also paired together as Paul Raynard kicked in a +5 to go along with TJ's +4 to secure 2nd Team at +9. 

     And Individual leader Mark Spears at +8 had a disappointing partner in this humble hacker who brought him down a notch with his -1, but that was still good enough for Third Team honors. 

    Well, it might not be as good as two inches after two shots, but 6'3" after three is still impressive, and good enough for Johnny MacNeil to take CTP on the 2nd hole. 

     The ball was finding the hole early and often this week, as we had 15 birds and the eagle. on the frontside, but only three will cash: Dan's eagle on 1 held up, Len Lima will collect skins money for the second week in a row for his birdie on the 4th, and course resident Bob Bourne was amazed that his was the only bird on 8. 

  Holes 2, 3, 6, and 9 were birdied by too many players too mention. 

  Highpointer for the day was the always solid Mike McNeice with 19 points, and who posted a stellar 73 for his round. 

  We had a healthy 30 entrants in the Backnine Skins pool, and like the front, there were 15 birdies and an eagle. Chris Regan's birdie on 11 will take a third of the pot. There were eight birdies on the 13th but the hole is not a smash because rookie Tim Greene did everyone one better with his great eagle on 13, and Mike Silva continues his good play with a fine 3 on 15. Holes 10 and 12 were covered. So, for  18 holes, we had two eagles and 30 birdies; by far the best ever. 

  Haven't had a chance to review the payments but if you did not pay this week, pay next Tuesday or you will excommunicated. 

  See you next Tuesday.

COVERED                14TH: (M. Silva, McNeice) 


   I guess you could say it was a rough night. Some kept it in the fairway, though, as 18 players surpassed their quota, 8 were even, and 27 fell short. 

   Hitting it straight and long, Mike Silva had his best night of the year with 18 points, good for a winning +6 and a crisp 74. Likewise, Brian Murphy had a season high 12 points, a +5 and 2nd Individual. Greg Willard and Mark Spears shined with +4s, with Greg prevailing in the card-off. 

    Mr. Silva's partner had a tough time of it, so that opened the door for Team prizes. And in stepped Dr. Saul Payne who nicely complemented B. Murphy's +5 with his own +3 to take 1st Team at +8. Although missing out for Individual honors, Mark Spears +4 added to alternate Andy Pryles +1 was good enough for 2nd Team at +5. Rounding out the Team honors, Paul Raynard's +3 and Peter Frasca (+1), who is on a plane to Iceland as we speak, will take 3rd Team over Greg Willard and Len Lima.  

  Closest to Pin on 9 got progressively better as the day went on, and the matter was settled at 8'10" by Greg Willard.

  For the skins pool, we had a carryover pot of $240, and if your name is Mike, you have a good chance of cashing as Mr. Silva, Wall, and McNeice will split the pot with birds on 5, 8, and 9. The 4th was covered by Bourne, Aronson, Murphy, and Moore. 

  Highpointer for the day was Mike Silva at 18, and the only non-winning notable were Nick Dejesus and Rich White, both at +3.

  There were 30 entrants in the Back Nine skins pool but only four birdie bids found the hole, with two surviving. Len Lima will have a fat envelope coming with his crisp 3 on 10, and Ed Finn will gladly take the other half of the pot with his birdie on 15. The 14th was smashed by M. Silva and M. McNeice. 

  And finally, next week is the beginning of the second half, and that means payment of $345 is due. PUT YOUR CHECK IN THE BOX. We are no longer accepting the lame excuse that "I would have paid but I didn't see you around." 

   See you next Tuesday.

 As usual, SIGLers dominated last week's Lone Ranger tournament at Easton CC.  Of the 20 players who comprised the top 5 four-man teams, 13 were SIGLers. Congrats in particular to Bob Loring, Len Lima, and Rich White who were three quarters of the 1st place team. 

  Last week we indicated that there have been way too many instances where a hole-by-hole review of scores revealed an overreporting of actual points earned, and that from now on, if you report more points earned than you actually earned, that your card would be thrown out. 

   So for the group this week, all of whom reported solid plus numbers, where EVERY player on the card REPORTED points earned that were in excess of ACTUAL points earned, your card has been thrown out.
