A Bud Light Championship……Captain Franey Playoff MVP!

A Bud Light Championship……Captain Franey Playoff MVP!

At press time this morning the golf gods were crying tears of joy for the victory last night by your Bud Light team as they defeated Carroll County State Bank 38 to 34 to claim the ultimate prize-2008 Supper league Championship. Twenty two teams started the year on April 29th with a glimmer of hope and a dream of a championship dancing in the heads. After 18 weeks of play only one team is still standing…..Your Bud Light Team!
A night that saw team sponsor and birthday boy Troy Auen avenge a July 14th loss to Don Neary 4 to 2. A solid night of play by Auen with only one brain fade as he missed a 17” putt on the second hole. Reporters on the range found Neary attempting to bribe team sponsor Bud One Jim Auen with a lower interest rate for a Bud Light loss. Thanks but no thanks Mr. Neary!
A year of golf frustration, lack of confidence and absolute anger ended last night for your Captain as he played better than he had in two years shooting an one under par 36 and cruising to a 5 to 1 victory over Mike Mosher. As season long MVP front runner Mike Schulz served as on course reporter last night traveling between the Auen/Franey group back to the Mertz/Sinnard group it became apparent that the Dream Team were sucking air trying to avoid a Supper League disaster. Schulz reported to your Captain in the middle of seven fairway that both long time subscriber, top local amateur, highly successful and more veteran golfer Craig Mertz and Steve Sinnard were four down to their opponents Nick Fangman and Tomato John Gradoville. As fast as Auen and Franey were winning points the Dream team were squandering them away. After finishing the sixth hole four down a loud screech settled over the Carroll Country Club as the presses printing the Bud Light Championship shirts at the Graphic Edge came to a stop. What your Bud Light team had worked for the last 17 weeks was close to being lost. On course reporter Mike Schulz was spotted in the trees not able to even watch as the Dream Team were on life support gasping for their last breath.
Never fear Steve “the grinder” Sinnard rose to the occasion, fought back against Fangman and settled in for a 3 to 2 loss which proved to be just enough to secure the championship. Sinnard had to offset Mertz’s 5 to 2 beating from Tomato John. A Dream season is made up of highs and lows and we had them all last night.
In the end it all was fine a 38 to 34 win and a 2008 Supper League Championship in the bag! The screech that once was deafening turned into music to ears of your Bud Light team as the presses resumed production of the championship shirts. Congratulations Bud Light and in the famous words of our sponsor “This Bud’s for you!”
