Westview golf course last Sunday proved to be not so ideal for most of the twenty-five players plus one guest that showed up and played. It was the pre-announced aeration of the greens that drew the most player’s ire. Greens did not cure that much on our tee time as putts and chips were hopping all over the place. On the positive note, on the day of sunshine with no breeze at all weather was very nice. Golf course management figured that giving SGC $10 markdown on green fee as well as free buckets of range balls would ease the anguish a bit. It seemed that few players were not affected by the green conditions as low scores were posted. “Everyone was playing the same course and players who were the least affected by the conditions would post better scores” one of the players said. No arguments here about that. Adjustments, adjustments and more adjustments to consider and succeed.

ROUND: After starting slow in the early part of the season, Julio R. finally showing his true grit by grinding a splendid 80 gross score. Saed J. and PJ P. both delivered a brisk net score of 68.

NASSAU: Julio R’s final point concluded by winning the front nine and overall. Joey C’s net of 70 netted him the back nine.

RACE TO MONTH 4: Dave N. who is steadfastly leaving anyone else behind is projected to win Month 4. With only a game left, Dave is a runaway leader by huge five points. Grudgingly, two players saying ‘not so fast there Davey boy’ are still there and will not concede easily are Jun P. and PJ P. Both have total net of 211.

POY: This race is going to be an interesting one. Five people are tightly bunched together at the top of the leaderboard. Manny C. who remained idle last Sunday still leads by two points. Ed I. grabbed the sole position of second place from Jimmy M. who was idle as well dropped down to third place trailing Ed by two points. Tied for distant fourth twelve points behind third place are Levi M. and Seho O. Racing up furiously to catch up with the leaders is PJ P. who had a good run the last few weeks. If you believe, nothing is unreachable. Right PJ?

SENIOR POY: Not much to report here. If you ask me this is anybody’s contest to win so far. Contending players are having ‘night and day’ performances that no one could hang on the lead for a long period of time. One interesting note is one player who could be leading it by a mile is Bingoy P. If he completes his tenth game on a good note, he’ll win this one for sure. Bingoy leads everyone with his total net scores from game five up to his fully played eight game.

MIP: Kiss this one goodbye but for one Manny C. He has increased his improved league leading edge by a good margin even remaining futile last week. You only need twelve games to qualify and you are all set to win this contest even if you rest in your couch for the rest of the season. Ed I. stole second place from Paolo B. who dropped down way down to fifth place. Levi M. and Julio R. both tied for third place.

Congratulations to the winners!
