Sinnard and Franey team win 2010 Chili Open!

With the colors of the leaves beautifying the landscape of the Carroll Country Club the stage was set for a victorious Sunday! Two men and two women teed off the #10 tee creating a quest of perfection. It was a four person best shot and after four tee shots the foursome found themselves hitting their second shot from the bunker just North of the tenth green. As Steve Sinnard stated "we have no best shot". After an opening par the foursome went 15 under par over the next 17 holes to capture an one shot victory! The shot of the day was awarded to Lynda Dukes Franey as she holed a 90 yard shot out on #16 for eagle. It was truly a team effort.

Dukes Franey was awarded the longest drive on #7 beating out Jim Macke!

Macke Motors are Men's League Champions........Congrats to Spanky and Kim...The farmer and dog last in Fall League

It has been awhile since I have pounded the keys of my keyboard but it feels great to be back in the chair again. Lots of things to catch up on so here I go!

Last night in fall league the scheduled and anticipated match up was to be the farmer Papa Joe Pick and the Junkyard Dog Steve "Cuda" Quandt taking on Steve Sinnard and Mike Franey. Merriam-Webster defines fear as "to be afraid of"but the fall league definition is to not show up and send two boys to do a man's job! That's right Papa Joe and Cuda did not show up and sent Car Wash Todd and Produce Tom Duff to the 2nd tee in what turn out to be a huge mistake. The consequences were fitting as the farmer and the dog finished dead last in their fall league division. Have a safe harvest Papa Joe! Look for a full report of fall league next week.

Like a Chevrolet Corvette passing a Dodge Caravan Macke Motors topped Hawkeye Commodity Brokers to win the 2010 Men's League Championship. Even a night of rain that postponed the championship match couldn't cool the high powered engines of the motors. Congrats to the Champions!
