Well, we just finished our first rain out make up round and teams and individual mvp is still up for grabs.
President and low handicapper Bob Trottier leads the way over Norm Pelletier by 5 points and they will meet next Wednesday to hopefully decide MVP for the first half. Pelletier will need to win by at least a score of 13-7 to overtake Trottier. Nipping at their heels is Rick Maloney who is just 6 points behind and he will need to win by at least 16-4 if Pelletier wins 13-7. Ten points behind are Jim Marnie and Norm Comeau. Both of them have tough matches next week. So, in the final analysis if Trottier gets 15 points no one can catch him.
Team wise Trottier, Marnie, Duzenli and Landry/Serafino are 20 points ahead and it will be tough to catch them but you can bet your bottom dollar Pelletier, LaFrancis, Berry and Hale will give them a run. Pelletier’s team needs to win by 51 to 29 in order to over take Trottier’s team.
McGill, N. Comeau, Acciard and Gray need a miracle along with Gill, Vigneault, Maloney and Juknavorian
In this weeks matches we saw some great play by Trottier, McGill and Marnie who all shot in the 30’s with Trottier and McGill carding 37’s and in their beer match Trottier won 1 up. Jim Marnie got back to his Scottish roots and fired a three over par 39 while halving his match with George Vigneault who came in with a well respected 40.
Steve King and Norm Pelletier seesawed back and forth as they marched around the front nine with 42 and 41 respectfully and with Pelletier up 2 with 2 to play let King right back into it by bogeying and double bogeying the last two holes. Pelletier’s excuse? The Wilson effect. I am sure you are thinking what is the Wilson effect? It is when you birdie the first hole and then not play the next 8 holes like you did the first hole. The Wilson effect… you end up losing.
Dennis Croteau’s 7 over 43 was way too much for Glenn Acciard’s 49. Acciard in the hunt for MVP pretty much gave it away on the 4th hole with a quadruple bogey and wasn’t able to muster another win after that hole. Croteau pounded Acciard 14-6.
Newlywed Eric LaFrancis took full advantage of his distance and crushed Paul Comeau 16-4. Comeau didn’t get on track until the 5th hole where he birdied but gave it right back on the 6th with the dreaded Post Birdie mess up. Comeau never recovered from that point on.
Mike Berry feeling a little lost in the C flight showed why he should be in the B flight as he took full advantage of Steve Maddox by drubbing him 17-3. Berry had 2 triple’s and finished with a 9 over 45.
Rusty Gill ran into a buzz saw as he faced Trottier and Gill just couldn’t get the bomber to work for him as kept duck hooking his drives and with a snowman on 2 he couldn’t shovel his way out. Gill left everything in the bag as Trottier defeated Gill 13-7.
George Duffield and Norm Comeau battled it out and Comeau on the 9th hole with a par took the match 11-9. Comeau’s strong finish leaves him 10 points behind Trottier for MVP.
Duzenli and Maloney had their typical classic match as Duzenli jumped out to a 3 up lead and Maloney battled back but fell short when Duzenli made an uphill birdie putt on the 8th hole and Maloney Bogeyed.
Maloney is still in the hunt for MVP and is only 6 points out.
In the last three matches Juke up-ended sub Ed Miele 12-8 as Miele’s 9 on the 2nd hole and 7’s on the 5th and 9th was his downfall.
Tom Hale showed some shining moments after he found himself 3 down after 3 and then went on a tear as D’Orio kept slipping out of his stance and started playing Military golf. Left right Left right etc.. Hale wins 14-6 13-7.
Skip Gray and Alan Imlach played like neither one of them wanted to win. Imlach and Gray swapped wins until the 5th and then Gray won the 6th and Imlach took the 7th and 8th and then Gray bounced back to win the 9th. Gray was getting 3 strokes and needed everyone of them Gray 11 Imlach 9
McGill was challenged by the course and playing in the last group he was able to take the closest to the pin on the 3rd hole away from Duzenli. McGill landed his shot about 4 ft. away and made his 2. As McGill’s three some walked to the 8th tee they were asked to hit up to the green with Gill, Trottier, Maloney and Duzenli. McGill teeing off last put his drive on the edge of the green and had about a ten footer for eagle. The put was downhill right to left but McGill left it below the hole and tapped in for Birdie. This was McGill’s first week in the 30’s on the front. Long time coming.
