The Perfect 10’s

June 10, 2011 by Jay McGillicuddy 1 Comment

Well the weather wasn’t raining so that’s a perfect ten, it was awful hot and humid on a scale of 1-10 it was a ten.
The Foursome of McGill vs. Pelletier and Duffield vs Vigneault final score was 10 to 10.

Vigneault (39) vs Duffield (39)

Vigneault jumped out to a one up lead on hole number 10 then Duffield battled back to take a one up lead after 12. They halved 13 and Vigneault with his smooth swing captured wins on 14 and 15. After they both parred 16 Duffield took 17 to halve the match. Duffield on 18 had a great 3rd shot off the 17th tee box onto the green and he made his two putts to halve the match with Vigneault who in his own right made a great second shot on 18 with his Hybrid out of the tall grass on the dunes and both players battled tooth and nail to split.

McGill (37) vs Pelletier (36)

McGill and Pelletier were only hoping they could play 10x better than they played the first time around and what a battle they had.
McGill’s tee shot on ten with his 3 wood hooked high into the trees out of bounds and dropped down in fair territory just right of the cart path in the woods chips under the tree. McGill took a 9 iron and with a smooth swing put the ball about 5-6 feet to the right of the pin and missed the birdie putt. Pelletier skulled a sand wedge over the green and made 5. On 11 Pelletier made a nice tee shot into the back of the green pin high and about 12 feet from the hole which was tucked back right and he drained the putt for a nice birdie. McGill was 35 feet away and the ball just slid to to left leaving a gimmee putt for par.
They halved 12 with pars and Pelletier’s booming drive on 13 bounced it’s way merrily down the cart path leaving him a nice easy shot and a simple 2 putt which won him the hole.
The rest of the match was dead even until they walked to the 18th tee and Pelletier’s drive drew a little more than he wanted and left him about 225 out. McGill hit a decent drive but he caught the right rough on the inside of the cart path just 167 yards out. McGill had a buried lie and with a 5 iron was able to chop it out and lo and behold he found his ball pin high about 50 feet left of the pin. McGill practices long putts and he lagged it to within 3ft. Pelletier couldn’t give him the putt because McGill messed up a few easy putts earlier. McGill drained it. Final score 10-10.

LaFrancis (43) vs N. Comeau (40)

This was billed as youth vs veteran match. The veteran took it this time but it could have been by more if Comeau hadn’t hit the wrong ball on 18. It happens to the best of us, Lord knows I have had my share of it. Never again I hope. Comeau started strong by going three up after 3 and then the middle three were halved but La Francis came back on 16 only to falter on 17 and then the dreaded 18th for Comeau. Comeau takes this first meeting 13-7.

Berry (41) vs Acciard (44)

Looks like Berry finally got things going as he finished strong with pars on 17 and 18 as Acciard double bogeyed 16,17 and bogeyed 18. This match was still for the taking for Acciard but the double on 17 deflated the balloon Acciard was riding on. Big League Tournament Saturday and can Acciard bounce back? Berry says no way.

Hale (53) vs Gray (59)

I wonder if the postponement of last weeks play hurt their scores this week. Gray jumped out to a 3 up lead thru 15 but Hale bounced back to win the last 3 holes to win strokes and the extra 2 team points. Gray’s 8’s on the par 3 11th, 16th and 17th were the crushing blow. Hale wins 11-9.

Trottier (42) vs King (41)

What the heck happened here? El Presidento was human like as King coming off a back injury stormed back after going one down early to win 12 and 13. Trottier’s triple on 12 may have rattled him and may just have sent him back to the drawing board to fix the problem. King’s par on 15 put King two up with 3 to play. Trottier wins 16 but King bounces back to halve 17 and 18 to win 12-8. This Saturday Trottier will need to play a lot better than this if he wants to win the big bucks.

Marnie (43) vs Comeau (53)

When you shoot 20 for two holes it’s tough to win but Paul Comeau fought hard and if it wasn’t for the 8 on 10 and 12 on 12 he just may have salvaged a split. Tough loss as Comeau fought hard.

Duzenli (43) vs Maddox (47)

Duzenli had to give 5 strokes but Maddox bounced back strong after going three down right off the bat. Maddox stormed back to win the next 3 holes only to watch Duzenli win 16 but Maddox came back to win 17 and a halve on 18 gave Maddox the extra 2 points. Maddox wins 11-9.

Serafino (46) vs D’Orio (55)
Serafino jumped all over D’Orio as he went 3 up only to lose one on 16 and then finished up nicely by winning the last two holes. D’Orio also might have found the same fate as Hale and Gray as the one week layoff proved costly. Serafino will miss the rain make up but will have Ed Meile subbing for him and will have a tough match against Juknavorian.

Gill (38) vs Waterman (41)
Rusty “the Hammer” Gill poured it on and trounced Waterman, last years most improved player, by winning the first 3 holes and and then halving the next 3 and finishing Waterman off on 16. It looked like Gill was swinging out of his shoes on 12 when I saw him but he is the longest hitter this league has ever seen.
Gill wins easily 15 to 5.

Maloney (40) vs Croteau (46)
You could hear “the Voice” all the way from the 17 Green to the 18th Green, yes, Maloney must have missed a birdie on 17. It really didn’t matter as Maloney jumped out to a quick 2 up lead and watched it slip away on the next two holes. They both halved 14 but then Maloney went on a tear and won the last 4 holes and gathered himself a nice 15-5 win.

Juknavorian (46) vs Imlach (48)

Imlach started off ok as Juke struggled off the tee on 10. Juke bounced back on 11 and 12 but gave one back on 15 to let Imlach back in the match. With pars on 16 Juke was able to slip past Imlach with a win on 17 and held Imlach off with a par on 18 to win this match 12-8.
