Ultra stays on top…..Baratta bursts Papa Joe’s bubble….Bud Two toughs it out...Raptors to the finals

Standings after Week 6!



 Mother Nature was still the true champion last night on the last week of May as she dialed up a breezy night with temperatures hovering around 60. Carroll Country Country Club’s Men’s Supper League completed the 4th night of league in six attempts.

Supper League’s most mature team was on fire as they pulled the teeth of the Carroll Dental Clinic. All winners for the sticks – Bud One Jim Auen, Doc Sporrer, Fairway Frank Comito and Trusty Mike Nelson. With the 8-0 victory the sticks moved up to second place only two shots out of the lead.

Champion Ford #1 had a good night beating the Farmer and Dog’s Mid Iowa Team 7 to 1. John Baratta holed out on the final hole #12 for eagle to crush the dreams of Papa Joe Pick. Pick was distraught in the clubhouse and showed signs of sadness with his lost hopes of victory. Team counselors were made available after the match for the team captain. Reminds me a past moment in Papa Joe's life.
It will be alright Joe!
Pick did score a bonus point for closest to the pin on #17. 2019 Muny 4 ball Champion Steve “Cuda” Quandt tied Dr. Svenssen and Produce Tom Duff(Duff is still feeling the pain from losing to Jon Heim in week 4) tied DK Denny Kasperbauer. The head Ford man Darin Putney put the thumping to Aaron Ahrendsen with his back nine winning low gross 32. Champion Ford #1 is tied for 5th with Community Oil and the #2 Ford team.

The Sharp Funeral Home broke the glass of Carroll Glass 6 to 3. Old Balls Chad Kanne was the only loser for the PXG powered team. He was beat by Benton Snyder who carded an even par 37 and won low net on the front with a 32. CCC general manager Paul Tigges, Techie Nic V and Peterman Tony Pietig were all winners for the caskets. Head casket Kyle Atkinson was benched.

Westside Savings Bank upset league leading and Supper league’s defending champions Michelob Ultra 6 to 4. The Champ Corey Bluml shot -4 on the front nine to collect low gross honors and beat Long time subscriber, top local amateur, highly successful and most veteran golfer Craig Mertz. Mertz recorded his first Chinese hook of the year on the 18th hole. Head teller Bill Beck beat Bud Three Steve Auen. Auen was certainly off his game after getting beat over the weekend by son Tyler “Big Country” Auen. In a driveway meeting on Mayberry Lane last night just before 9 BC informed his father that it might just be time for him to go to the learning center. Classic line Tyler! Bud Two battled through the chilly night only to top one into the pond on 7 and tie Long Ball Matt Fleshner. Bud Two did nail a 50-foot putt to win a bonus point for the team and was voted team MVP of the night. Mouthpiece Mike Franey the only winner for the champs holding off Tony Schweers. Steve Sinnard was benched for week six action and Security Mike Schulz was out east dancing with the Statue of Liberty. Supper League’s most popular team still remains on top of the league by one.

Champion Ford #2 topped the oil jobbers of Community Oil 5 to 4. Woodard and Cummings were winners. Head Hog Terry Ruchti won for the oil rags. Monument Man Loren Boyce made the difference with his closest to the pin bonus point.

Par had their way with Bierl Carpet One. The 1999 Iowa State Fire Prevention coloring champ Colin Bierl was the only winner for the carpets.
Best in the state! 

Highway 30 Car Wash and OH BOBBY tied their match Mike Soe the only winner for the Bob team.

Graddy’s Tomatoes slipped by the cleaners of Kasperbauer Cleaners 5 to 4. Dr. Decay Nick Fangman and Rick Grote were winners for the tomatoes. Matt Lujano scored a win over Digger Dave Nelson.  Wyatt Haukap nailed the longest putt.

Just saying.......
  • Carroll Police and Carroll County Sheriff's departments have approved this Friday's arrival of two time Papa Joe Champion John Dukes to return to Carroll for the Member - Guest Tourney. 
  • Congratulations to area high school golfers on their success. 
  • Happy 60th Birthday to Todd and Pam Pettitt! A family legacy to look up to!

Defending Champs smash the tomatoes and surge to the top........PXG's can't sovle everything.......Member Guest Coming Up!



It is good to be back from a long winter's rest and back on the fairways and greens of the Carroll Country Club. This report is a fan of Tiger Woods and what he has done for golf so congratulations to Tiger on his Masters victory!

Long time subscriber, top local amateur, highly successful and most veteran golfer Craig Mertz led the charge for the 2018 champions beating Wilton’s granddad Digger Dave Nelson. Mertz also captured low gross with a one under 36 on the front nine and low net honors with net 34. Bud Three Steve Hans Auen beat Rick Grote. Security Mike Schulz chipped in twice in a battle of good shots with Dr. Decay Nick Fangman. Mouthpiece Mike Franey barely survived the head Tomato John Gradoville. Franey won long putt on #9 capping off a 10 -1 victory for Supper League’s most popular team. Bud Two Troy Auen was on the disabled list and Steve Sinnard was entertaining his Mom Sue who is visiting from Illinois.


Sharp Funeral Home pulled off an impressive victory over par scoring 8 points. Old Balls Chad Kanne and his PXG powered golf game led the way with low gross – 34 and low net – 30 on the back nine. Carroll Country Club PGA pro and general manager Paul Tigges was the other winner for the caskets. Mr. PXG Kyle Atkinson and Peterman Tony Pietig tied their par opponents. The caskets are one point back out of first.

Champion Corey Bluml helped Westside State Bank beat the Highway 30 Car Wash 8 to 1. Bluml was closest to the pin on #8 and took care of counter top Pat Malloy. New member and multiple time Muny Champion Justin Yetmar beat the head washer Todd Pettitt. Great to have you as a new member Justin! Matt Fleshner and Jim Nurse tied their match.
Head coach Nick Nurse, Mitch McDermott, Bud Two Troy Auen and I when raptors coaches were in Carroll. 
Nurse’s brother Nick who is the head coach of the Toronto Raptors scored a huge win on Tuesday night against the 76er’s to take a 3-2 lead in the seven-game series. Head bank cashier Bill Beck was unopposed and scored 2 for the bankers. The car wash team is down a man as John Gretsky Greteman broke his ankle. Get well John.

Champion Ford #1 beat Bierl Carpet One. The carpets had a very impressive win in week one. Head Ford Darrin Putney, Wade Wilkie and local steakhouse owner John Baratta all were winners over Brad Hempstead, Colin Bierl and Jon Sturm. This publisher has heard nothing but good reviews from the Baratta’s Steakhouse. Thanks for investing in Carroll!

Community Oil upset Supper League’s most mature team 5 to 4. The playing pride of Greene County Tom Drees beat Trusty Mike Nelson and nailed the long putt on #11 Head hog subbed in for the head oil jobber Chico Kanne and beat Bud One Jim Auen. Auen’s winter claim to fame is his ability to consistently out drive Long time subscriber, top local amateur, highly successful and most veteran golfer Craig Mertz and former Carroll Country Club head golf pro and now big burrito Joe Ward on the fairways of Florida. Fairway Frank Comito and Doc Sporrer beat Carroll Cycle Center general manager Wade Adams and Jerry Janson. In a statement early this morning the oil boss said and I do quote “This is a great win for team and I am only looking for future success.”

Champion Ford #2 blanked OH BOBBY! Big Brad Woodard, two time Papa Joe Champion Denny Kasperbauer and Clint Cummings, Dr Svensson beat Mike Soe, Bobby Brooks(Brooks was worried about his grass and left promptly after league to get it cut) and Easy Ed Cutler and Chris Giguere. Looking good Chris without those extra 130 pounds.

Carroll Glass pulled almost all the teeth of the Carroll Dental Clinic. Keith Pottebaum, Bo Bruning and Head Glass man Andy Reiman beat Austin Scott, new member Thomas Parish and Cody Forch

The Mid Iowa Team minus the services of Papa Joe Pick for unknown reasons beat Kasperbauer Cleaners 5 to 3. This is Pick’s first unexcused absence of the year. Steve “Cuda” Quandt, Produce Tom Duff and AA - Aaron Ahrendson all tied Giddy up Wyatt Haukap, Mike Kasperbauer and Adam Pick. Josh Sporrer only winner for the Mid Iowa Team.

Other things of note..............

  • The PXG power can not solve everything for local players. Kasket Kyle Atkinson moved the closest to the pin marker on #17 only to forget to sign his name and claim the prize. Whoops! 
  • Be sure to sign up for the Member Guest on May 31 and June 1. Carroll Police have approved the visitation rights of JD John Dukes for this event.
  • Steve "Cuda" Quandt aced the par three #8 over the past week. Congrats to the Junkyard Dog for that. 
  • Welcome new subscriber Thomas Parish.
  • This report would certainly like to extend condolences to the Bill Badding Family. Thanks for your service to Carroll and to our country Bill! 
That is a wrap for this week from the world headquarters of The Franey Report! 

Fairways and greens to all! ON IOWA AND GO HAWKS!
