Car Wash Todd Pettitt started his Mid Iowa career with a win over Jerry Janson. Junkyard Dog Cuda Quandt battled to a tie with the head hog Terry Ruchti. One of the hardest working golfers at the club Wade Adams tied AA Aaron Ahrendsen and Joe Pawlosky lost to Kyle Karl Christensen. A 6-2 win for the defending champs gets them off to a strong start. Farmer Papa Joe Pick was missing in action and maybe he was in the field as he is a hard-working American farmer.

American’s team Michelob Ultra drew the most consistent opponent for week one……PAR! Ultra welcomed back Bud Two Troy Auen to the team after a year-long COVID-19 vacation. Bud Two played well and tied par. It took a one-under-par 36 for the long-time subscriber, former top local amateur, highly successful, and more veteran golfer Craig Mertz to win his match. Michelob Ultra 2020 player of the year Steve “Hans” Auen was a bit rusty in his first league match of 2021. Auen lost to par by a lot and maybe looking at a benching for week two! Mouthpiece Mike Franey sent par packing for a win! Magic Mike Schulz and new Ultra member CK Curt Kirsch were on the bench for week one. 5 points for week 1 for the Supper league’s most popular team.

After the round clubhouse chatter was whispering about an error in scoring for the Bierl Carpet Floor and Home and The Full Swing Golf match. The official sheet obtained by this report, it shows a 9-2 win for the carpets. This report will leave it there and will investigate for next week's report. Brad Hempstead led the team with a two-under 35 on his way to collecting front nine low gross and low net honors. Brad Pick nailed the longest putt. The flooring store is at the top of the league and we will soon learn by how many.
