THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 9, 2020 Page 7 Malden Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday... Malden Ryder Cup 2020 By Peter F. Levine T he Ninth Annual Malden Ryder Cup Golf Tournament last Saturday afternoon (Hillview in North Reading) was a stone-cold blast. Mother Nature at her finest! The company exquisite! And if Ryder Cup Director Jimmy “Fancy Talker” Cahill could have found one drop of Ballantine Ale in Malden, he would have stocked a cooler with it for me. The last two years have not been kind to the Italian American Citizens Club (IACC); both years tied 1515, which allows the Ancient Order Of Hibernians (AOH) to retain the vaunted cup per rules of the James Cahill Ryder Cup Official Guidebook. An absolutely beautiful day full of laughter, merriment and the all-important male bonding was had by all the boys, followed by some lively activities back at the after-party (which of course meant continued responsible drinking of any adult beverages, mask wearing and social distancing). Standouts for the IACC were please see Jim “Fashionista” Cahill, and for a nominal fee he will kindly hook you up. I can attest to the beauty of these fine shirts and also the slimming effect they have.

Carl Lipani wore it like it was nobody’s business! If any IACC member would like to upgrade their wardrobe, ner” Tilley lives (and loves) to beat Jimmy Cahill in this tournament. “What a great day it was” were his initial words when I finally got a chance to dialogue him. Red Auerbach victory cigar lit and the obligatory bottle of Dom cracked, Mike said, “It’s nice in these tough times that some things haven’t changed.” He stated that the “great weather, great company, great golf and the AOH retaining the Cup to continue our dynasty as the perfect day!” Mike credited the whole team with “playing well beyond his expectations.” He continued, “It’s nice to have most of the same guys year in and year out. We miss Mike Ahern. But we had ‘Bull’ O’Leary! I call him the backbone. My security blanket. AlMALDEN: TODAY | SEE PAGE 14
