The semifinal playoff matches were played in hot and humid conditions. The course was in surprisingly good shape

given the amount of rain that fell as a result of tropical storms Fred and Henri. After mostly lopsided matches in the

quarterfinals, the semifinal matches were a lot closer.

In the first match, Carl Twomey was playing solo again as he took on Bill Meehan and Peter Morlock on the back

nine. The teams traded the lead for the first few holes and the match was tied after the 15th hole. Bill and Peter

took all four points on the 16th hole, but Carl took three points on each of the last two holes to tie the match. The

teams split the points for low net to make it a 20-20 tie. Extra holes would be needed to determine the winner.

There was only one problem - Carl was gone. There was some confusion in the scoring of the match and Carl left

believing that he had won before the handicapper could do the official scoring on his computer. When he was

informed of the situation, he returned to the course for the sudden death playoff, which he won on the first extra

hole.

George Weigler and John Buscaglia faced Joe Shea and Steve Palmer in the other semifinal match. Joe and

Steve built a four point lead after three holes, but George and John fought back and, like the first match, the teams

were tied going to the 16th tee. Joe and Steve won the next two holes and regained their four point advantage

going to the 18th hole. After the teams split the final hole, it would be up to the net scores to determine if a playoff

would be needed for this match as well. John had the low individual net score, but Joe and Steve took low team

net to earn a 22-18 win and move on to the finals.

In other action, Mike Nolan and Rick Kilduff tied for the low round of the week with scores of 41 on the front nine.

Anil Narwani won a sleeve of balls for the low net score for the week, with a net score of 5 under par.

The only birdie of the week belonged to Nate Cartwright, who birdied the par 5 12th hole.
