Still #1….Mertz & Franey Co-MVP….Cycles crash again!

Still #1….Mertz & Franey Co-MVP….Cycles crash again!

Good morning Bud Light sports fans! A soggy night at the Carroll Country Club that reduced hole 5 to a par three and hole 7 to a par four. A big thank you goes out to Jim Von Ahn and his staff for making it possible for us to play last night. This has been a tough year with all of the storm damage and rain for the grounds crew. Good job!

With just three weeks to play before the playoffs your Bud Light team is still on top of the Tiger Woods Division with a 12 point lead over Stiffsticks. Stiffsticks clobbered our friends at the Carroll Cycle Center in one of the most lopsided matches of the year 45-27. This is the second straight week that the cycles have suffered a devastating loss. Keep your heads up boys you are in 3rd place but only 4 points out of first and 1 point our of second. In the action J.B. Greenwell lost 6 to 12. Greenie did get closest to the pin on #8 and one has to wonder if he three putted for bogey. Joe Joe Hinners lost 5 to 13. Rumors have it that the golf gods were frowning upon him for playing for the Soggy Subs last week. It is surprising to this report that Hinners was beaten because report sources indicated that Hinners was on top of his game Friday night at couples league. The only conclusion is that he is more comfortable playing with his wife than the good ole doctor.
M.C. Café head chef Mark Tigges can not be criticized for losing to Frank Comito 7 to 11 as Tigges played both days in the city tourney with your Captain. There are not many people who recover quickly from that. Season MVP front runner D.A. Tony Bluml tied Neal Cross to be the only bright spot for the Cycles. Sources say that a team meeting will be call later in the week and your Captain will be the motivational guest speaker.

Week 13 2nd place team Subway dropped a spot in the standings to 3rd this week after a loss to Larry’s Automotive. Subway team captain Papa Joe Pick left the course with a hamstring injury and look for updates on his condition here on this Bud Light channel. Pick leaves for San Diego for a family wedding this week. Safe travels to the Pick family and a little time to think may help the captain prepare for what some could call the biggest speech in his life in an attempt to rally his team. Since the Soggy subs are in the same division as your Bud Light team your captain has declined requests to speak to the team. The subs had to drag Rick Bauer from the learning center. Bauer has been on the DL and it showed as he was soundly beaten by report subscriber Dr. P.J. Greteman. Tom “Duffer” Duff was the only winner for the Subs. The report would like to congratulate the Duffer on his fine play in this weekend Carroll City Tourney.

The Landlocked Seafoods club took the guns away from Volquartsen Customs 40 to 32. I am not sure that I anger that team as they make guns and know how to use them. Todd “Car Wash” Pettitt was loss gross with a 32 and tied for low net with a 30. He wond 14 to 4 Uncle Grandpa Bruce Pettitt was still tired from the City Tourney and lost 5 to 13 to Wyatt Haukap. Flying Bob Raue was beaten by Scooter Volquartsen and Mike Ebner was a winner over Tyler Bock 13 to 5.

And now the results from your league leading Bud Light team. Team sponsor Troy Auen was a little water logged from his extended stay at Lake Okoboji and took it on the chin from a hot playing Don Neary. Auen did shake the water out of his ears and make three birdies in a row to avoid a two week benching…..one should be fine enough. He lost 6 to 12 and was the only loser on the team. Steve “Hans” Auen was a winner 10 to 8. Your captain beat Jeff Honald 11 to 7 despite giving him a shot a hole and two shots on the #5 which they moved to a par 3. The long time subscriber, top local amateur, highly successful and more veteran golfer Craig Mertz played well to win 11 to 7 to share the MVP honors with Captain Franey. Congratulations to Mertz for his play in this weekend Carroll City Tourney.

Other news making items……………

• Carroll Country Head Golf Professional and general manager Nate Pettitt mirrored his dad by having loss gross in the Tiger Woods division with a 31.
• Bud Light MVP contender Mike Schulz subbed last night and was beaten. He did record closest to the pin honors on 17. Did he three putt?

That seems like a wrap for week 14. As the sun set on the Carroll Country Club your Bud Light team is still atop of the Tiger Woods division with three weeks to go. Stiffsticks are making a charge. Make it a great week!

Fairways and greens to all!
