By Shaolee Sen Staff Writer

“Excellent food,” “wonderful service,” and “imaginative decor” were among the raves of reviewers covering last week’s grand open­ ing of Jennifer Robinovitz’s third- and fourth-grade class’ Lunar Cafe at Indian Fields School. The Lunar Cafe, a theme res­ taurant highlighting the first land­ ing on the moon, held two seatings between 11 a.m. and noon on Tuesday and Wednesday for 80 school staff members. REM’s “Man on the Moon” kicked off a recorded selection of “moon songs” played to create am­ biance in the Lunar Cafe.

at a big tournament again,” said Kraft, referring also to his team’s 13th-place finish at the NJSIAA State Tournament a- few weeks back. “We have to figure out why. A week before, we beat St. Jo­ seph’s convincingly at home, then beat North Brunswick at Tamarack and we were feeling real good about ourselves. We just didn’t play well.” Added Zhong, “We’re a good match-play team, but not a good tournament team. Hopefully, that will change next year. We didn’t expect to win and our scores were better than the last few years, but we didn’t shoot as well as we can. We needed some stronger scores from the back.” Zhong, who was paired in a foursome with the No. 1-2-3 play­ ers in Petercsak, Corey Zogg of St. Joseph’s (75) and Todd Povlich of North Brunswick (76), did criticize his own game as well. “I was hitting the ball great, better than anyone in our group,” said Zhong, who earned a spot on the All-GMC team by placing among the top nine. “But I had three 3-putts and one 4-putt, which killed me. It all came down to put­ ting. “On the front side, I shot 38 and they all shot 37. On the next hole, I landed 10 feet from the cup coming out of a sand trap, but I 3-putted. On 17, I had a chance to be right there. I was the only one who hit the par-5 green in two, but I four-putted. I went from eagle to bogey. If I two-putted, I would have been tied with Zogg going into the last hole.” “Jim had a good round, but he could have been second or third,” said Kraft. “Scott had a very rocky start, but actually played well to get back to 81. Mahr is better than 86 and DiTuro played better than he did in the states, but it’s hard to shoot in the 90s in a tournament like this. “If there’s any good news is Staff photos by John Keating that everyone is back (except Di­ Turo), so we have a chance to take G&G Sports’ Mike Buongiovanni rips a triple during Saturday’s game with Derby Appliance, while on the left.
