Week 7 line up

Week 7 line up and the Zach Johnson division’s #1 and #2 square off!
In the words of your publisher: http://www.visualtour.com/shownp.asp?T=1911912

This week your Bud Light team will take on Walsh Motors who are only 4 points behind the defending champions in the Zach Johnson division. This week your Bud Light team line up will feature the dream team as they like to be called long time subscriber, top local amateur, highly successful and more veteran golfer Craig Mertz who has been a scoring tear of late will try to improve on his 4th place standing in the this years MVP race. Riding shotgun with Mertz will be last weekends birthday boy Steve Sinnard who is just a ¼ point behind 2009 MVP front runner Steve “Hans” Auen. Auen will be sitting out this week along with 2008 Bud Light MVP Mike Schulz.
In the featured pairing of the evening your Captain Mike Franey will back in action on the back nine of the Carroll Country Club. Driving your Captain around will be Bud Light team sponsor Bud Two Troy Auen.
As of press time this morning there had been no word who will make the call to the 17th or 18th tee for the Motors. This match will prove to be very important……so mark calendars and remember what happen in Week 7.

The 3rd place Carroll Cycle Center team will take on the firemen from Feld Fire Equipment. This publisher wonders if Joe Hinners will step up to the plate and reclaim the MVP front runner status from Captain Terry Ruchti who remains on the D.L. Bud One Jim Auen’s La-z-boys take on the Carroll County State Bank. Commercial Savings Bank tries to recover from a natural disaster last week. They take on the Larry’s automotive team who upset your Bud Light team last week. Watch for more outstanding play from Dr. P.J. Greteman who thumped 2009 Bud Light MVP front runner Steve “Hans” Auen last week resulting in the front runner to ride the Week 7 pine. The Broadband Bandits take on a hot Community Oil team who clubbed CSB right out of second place last week.

Over in the minor division Subway looks for a needed win. They tee off against the Carroll Country Club. In a Saturday afternoon interview Subway Mike Gute took time after his first round of the Carroll Am to answer some tough questions from this reporter. Subway Mike stated and I do quote “I think the team is still under construction and they do not realize that the store construction is completed and they need to start to playing better.” Subway Mike side stepped the question about the sponsorship for the 2010 team. Who can blame his reaction when the team is currently in 7th place 27 points out of the lead? Captain Papa Joe Pick has to feel like he is on the hot seat! Macke Motors attempts to close the lead held by Captain Comito’s Stiffsticks. Macke Motors play Juergens Lawn and Landscape and the Stiffsticks tee it up against Subway Mike Gute’s Kerps team. The Sticks are holding on to a 6 point lead. This publisher looks for Flying Bob Raue to be in the line up after carrying the team last week.
