Bierl Boys dominate your Bud Light team, Sinnard is your week 5 MVP, La-Z-boys and Macke Motors win big, no change at the top!

The best the new shirts could do in their debut was a 36 to 36 tie with Elin's 9-irons. Todd Bierl dominated Bud Two Troy Auen in a lopsided match 13 to 6. Bierl shot his lowest round in years including a chip in on #14 and was awarded the low net honors with a 27. Bierl looks to be a first class contender in July's Papa Joe Classic. Colin Bierl joined the fun with his dad by erasing a three hole Mike Schulz lead and tying the match 9 to 9. Schulz and Auen both had balls in the water on the par 5 #14 signature hole. Long time subscriber, top local amateur, highly successful and more veteran golfer Craig Mertz shot a one over 35 to beat Carroll Country Club head golf professional and general manager Nick Schon. Schon folded under the Mertz pressure and sliced one 25 rows into the corn field on #14. Your week 5 MVP and still the front runner in the 2010 Bud Light golfer of the year race is Steve Sinnard who took care of business against Neal Cross 12 to 6. Sinnard was awarded the low gross honors along with Sharp Funeral Home's Kyle Atkinson with a one under 33 on the back nine. Cross and Schon subbed for Dr. Mike Soppe and John Wagner. Thanks for that one boys!

Overall a tie leaves your Bud Light team still in 4th place with 13 weeks remaining. The gap to 3rd was narrowed down to just 3 behind Pizza Ranch thanks to Frank Comito's Stiff Sticks. A benched Captain Mike Franey did some on course reporting last night and will return to action next week along with Steve "Hans" Auen.

The top spot in the Zach Johnson division did not change as Sharp Funeral Home successfully defended its spot on the top perch with a 40 to 32 win over Templeton Rye. Kyle Atkinson was the MVP with a 14 to 4 beat down of John Nepple.

Leon Muhlbauer the MVP for the Boyz beating head trader Sean O'Leary. The gunners of Volquartsen Customs became only the second team to beat par and scored the largest margin of victory against par this year 40 to 32.

Over in the Phil Mickelson division Papa Joe's Soggy Subs ended a one week win streak by losing to Utilicomm. With their loss the Subs relinquished the 2nd spot to Carroll Glass. The Papa Joe and Pat Macke match ended in a tie. This reporter witnessed the Papa chip in on #7. It was a tough hole for Macke who flew his golfing ball into the pine just south of the bunker. Upon investigation the ball was found resting on a branch. Your publisher was covering the hole and took the shot for the report. Upon further review the ball was inspected to find a very nice message from Lauren and Grant to their Daddy! "We love you Daddy! Kids do not care if you had to take a drop. Steve "Cuda" Quandt was beaten by Head gunman Scott Volquartsen, Pat "Spanky" Vollstedt and Bill Badding tied their match. Happy Anniversary to the Vollstedts. A horse Tom "Duffer" Duff took it on the chin from the head cable guy Chad Kanne. Just too much California for Duff.

The divionsal front runners Windstar bounced back after last weeks loss to beat Larry's Automotive 40 to 32. The buses maintain their spot at the top and extended their lead by 1 over Carroll Glass. Tiger Tom Simons was the MVP for the buses beating Dr. P.J. Greteman. Bob Muhlbauer was aslo a winner in the victory

In reclaiming the 2nd spot the glass men of Carroll Glass took care of Chico Kanne's oil jobbers 42 to 30. Jefferson Iowa native Tristan Brown was the MVP for Carroll Glass with a 13 to 5 beating of the head oil man himself. Brad Stork was a winner as well over Todd Kanne. The Benet Snyder - Dierk Halverson and Andy Reiman - Dick Muhlbauer matches turned out all square.

Fourth place Linde Equipment won a close one over Miller Lite. Fred Dolezal and John Greteman scored victories for the Lite beers over Bob Linde and Aaron Juergens respectively. Bill Linde was the MVP for the equipment dealers win a gigantic win over Joel Harris. News releases obtained by your publisher state that Harris has been sent to the Miller Lite farm club at the Carroll Muny.

Macke Motors were the top point getters in the Phil Mickelson division beating Kasperbauer Cleaners 44 to 28 and are in a 3rd place tie with the moldy subs and Linde Equipment. Captain Carpet Randy Bierl was the big winner for the motors. Bierl has not been in action for a few weeks and it looks like the rest has paid off. Car Wash Todd Pettitt and Flying Bob Raue were also winners and Hyvee store director Joel Flug tied his match. Car Wash was awarded the low gross honors with a sizzling 3 under 34 on the front nine and Captain Carpet was awarded low net for his efforts.

Commercial Savings Bank completed a three week winning streak with a 39 to 33 win over Badding Construction. Dirk Glynn was the MVP for the bank team with a big win. Out of respect for your Bud Light team Glynn bought pizza for the team after the week 5 action. Thanks Mr. Glynn. Glenn Badding has closest to the pin on #17

That is a wrap for week 5 with your Bud Light team still focused on their championship goals. Have a great week and a very safe Memorial Day Weekend!

As always this Bud's for you and On Iowa.
