Good news is sparse in these tough times. This summer's oppressive heat,
combined with a stumbling economy and high unemployment rates - as well as
the popularity of MTV's Jersey Shore - has left many Americans wallowing in
torpor. Yet, a small ray of hope for those in the Ghost Golf community
manifested today on the fairways of LuLu Country Club: Abington defeated
perennial SOL powerhouse Neshaminy by the score of 197 to 204. A harbinger
of the season? Time will tell.

Seniors staples Ben Cooley (37) and Richard Thorpe (39) lead the team in the
victory. Cooley negated a triple bogey on the third hole with three birdies;
Thorpe avoided big numbers and notched two birds of his own. The highlight
of the victory came from the back end of the bus: second year starters
Brandon Caine (39), Nick Coyle (41), and Jake Shur (41) each played with
great poise and control, a real testament of their hard work and dedication
to improving their games.
