Moving on up!

Week 2 in Review……Sinnard MVP……Papa Joe benched again!

It was a windy May night on the fairways and greens of the Carroll Country Club. Your Bud Light team entered the night in 4th place 14 points behind their rivals from the Carroll Cycle Center. When the dust settled the lead was sliced in half and Your Bud Light team moved up a slot to third only 7 points behind the Cycles.
Your Bud Light team was lead by MVP front runner Steve Sinnard who shot a 38 to collect low gross honors along with 12 points. Steve “Hans” Auen played well beating Anti Virus Adam Schweers. Hans scored 12 points in his victory. 2008 Bud Light MVP Mike Schulz cleared Nick Fangman and scored 10 points for the team. The long anticipated return of team sponsor Troy Auen was spoiled by banker Don Neary as the two dueled to a tie. More honors for YOUR Bud Light team as the team was awarded low net team for the night in the Zach Johnson division. Steve Sinnard remains the MVP leader with just 15 weeks remaining averaging 12 points each time he tees off. Long time subscriber, top local amateur, highly successful and more veteran golfer Craig Mertz will return to action next week after a successful burrito counting trip last night.
For the Cycles part Joe Hinners was quite verbal about the fact that he had to play Carroll Cycle Center owner and his boss Bob Brown who was subbing for the La-z-boys. Hinners seemed to be off his game and flustered all night long. Brown and Hinners settled for a tie. Hinners is still leading the Cycle’s MVP race averaging 13.5 points each week. Week two MVP honors go to MC’s Country Café’s head cooking professional Mark Tigges.
In the featured match of the evening the FAA issued a warning for the air space above the Carroll Country Club due to the bright color of the shirts worn by the Broadband Bandits. The Bandits were jumped, beaten and thrown into the burn pile by Commercial Savings Bank 47 – 25. Eric Muhlbauer led CSB with a low gross honor of 38. The Bandits are in need of their leader Scott “Cable Guy” Kanne to come back from Omaha and score some points for the team.
Over in the junior division this reporter found the soggy subs sputtering along like my 1987 Chevy Silverado Pickup when it is first started. For their efforts the subs fell to 10th place 18 points behind their sponsor Subway Mike Gute’s Kerps squad. Tom “Duffer” Duff scored 10 points of the subs 29 and was the only winner on the team. Steve “Cuda” Quandt was beaten by Bob Linde. Linde was awarded low net honors for Week 2. New subscriber Lonny Lehrkamp was beaten by 20 time City champion Mike Jewels Eckerman. It seems like this is a classic case of the lawn and landscape boys pulling out the Roundup and spraying down the weeds. It is puzzling to this reporter that Papa Joe Pick was reported to be farming last evening but was found to be dining and carrying on in the clubhouse. I will admit that I do not know too much about farming but this seems to be a new kind of farming practice. The luxury no till approach!
