Masolini takes his own advice; wins with Steve



"I want you boys to open a big can of whup-ass," encouraged Leno Masolini, just moments before the country kids from Alexandria departed for the big golf shootout at The Ranch.
Earlier in the day, the honorary mayor of Rock Crest had taken his own advice, when he and his partner, Steve Rolfsrud, whupped a German engineer and his pal in a Tuesday morning tennis match.
That battle was a come-from-behind effort, with the Rolfsrud/Leno combo getting a slow start, then battling back to emerge as winners. The score: 4-6, 6-4, 6-2. Leno apparently carried the load yesterday, as his playing partner had plenty of energy left that afternoon to battle a windy golf course and card his best score of the week.
Steve says Leno continues to polish his game, as they pair frequently in the Saddlebrooke doubles league, building a reputation for solid play and consistent teamwork.

Pairing with brother Steve can be dangerous, as the photo at left demonstrates. Fortunately, Leno was properly positioned, awaiting the return.
