SKILLMAN, NJ — Nick Casale latest round consisted of 1 zero and only two holes with 1 point bogeys.  Pretty good for a New Jersey hacker.  Casale carded 57 points and clearly his best score of his golfing career when you consider courses over 5,200 yards.

"It was pretty good," says a very, very happy Casale.  "Needless to say, I ran home to enter my card."

Casale carded 10 bogeys and 5 pars during his round at Cherry Valley Country Club.  The course is also the hardest in difficulty in Casale's golfing career giving him 15 bonus points.

"Nick has been working hard this summer to improve his golf game," says fellow long-time friend Glenn Hoffert. Everytime he plays through this fall, I fully expect him to continue to move up the leaderboard."

Each of Casale's last 10 rounds have been better than the previous.  "Quite impressive," says Andy Cohen.  "He started at 38 points and now at 57 points.  What is next?  62 points?"  The move from 38 to 57 with in the positive direction 10 times in a row is clearly unique at Spackler, but even a record.

Casale monster round takes over 10th position in the 2005 On Tour Championship.  There are 65 days left inside the Red Zone Alert.
