  Monday Results Reports that one of today's players MAY have had water trouble on 18 are still being investigated. In an unrelated note, Butch would like to know the most efficient way to dry extremely wet golf shoes. Charlie, Doc, and Wayne win 3 of today's events.

 BB's Weekend Update Rules Change The PGA Tour is changing some rules so we will follow suit, at least on one particular circumstance. From now on, we will play Out of Bounds as they do in SEMO Senior play. OB will continue to be a 1-stroke penalty, but no distance penalty. In plain speak, drop where your ball crossed the OB line. REMEMBER, still a 1-stroke penalty. This will save time, especially eliminating provisional drives on No. 2 when we are not sure if ball stayed in play or not. Should help most on 4 and 5, but 3 and possibly 12 as well. Much like 18, however, you always have the choice to re-tee. Our new Club Manager and Club Pro visited the group on the 13th green. Friday Results Thirteen players on Friday was not bad luck for Scott, Glen, and Butch. They came within 1 stroke on the Back 9 from completing a Royal Flush. Scott won the CTP while Glen and Butch birdied #11 to snare the Rabbit. All 3 were plus on the day, good enough to take The Front 9 and Total. Fun with N...

 Bud's Boys 2026 Season Begins Before we get to the golf, major announcement for Thursday. Scott's Birthday Event Thursday Scott says there will be Buckets of beer and food tomorrow. He doesn't even care what kind of food you bring. Come out and celebrate. Monday January 5 - Opening Day Doc's 35-point, Medalist +7 round leads his team to victory in 3.5 of the 5 events. Glen, reigning 2025 CTP champ, grabs the first 2026 CTP. Tuesday January 6 Raymond makes the first 2026 double-jump with a +9 and also wins the CTP. Teammate Wayne's birdie on #12 wins the Skin. Raymond laments a missed short putt on the back that prevented team from a Royal Flush of all 5 events. Still, a nice big pay day. Wednesday January 7 Scott has Medalist best +7 and Randy wins the CTP. Rick proclaims that 2026 will be his year and backs it up by being a part of the big winning team today. He reveals a third 7 on his last card to win Card Game, the 3rd event for Team Rick. Jeff's tee shot o...

Happy New Year 2026

   Happy New Year to all BB's. Looks like the opportunity to open the 2026 season this week is very high. Weather looks promising so clean off the clubs and start your year early. Course opens Monday at 11:00. The rest of the week starts at 9:50. 2025 Bud's Boys Year in Review  Like most years, 2025 had its share of highs and lows. The highs included the addition of 9 new players to the group. The lows were extremely tough this year which makes this a good time to remind everyone of the goal, or mission statement if you will, that our group strives to achieve. Simply, 'The Group Comes First', and 'Don't be the Guy'.   We want a day of golf to enjoy some fun competition and look forward to doing it again the next day. Do what you can to add to a good day for all around you. Don't be the guy that can ruin the day of those around you by bad attitude or bad decisions. Although there were reservations that adding 9 new players was not necessarily a good idea,...

 Nearly New Year Edition Two more days played to report and a Christmas edition from a few years ago. Hope your Christmas was all you wanted it to be. I have to show off what my next-door neighbor made for Shelly and me.  A nice set of coasters with a neat golf theme. May have to commission him to do a 'Bud's Boys' set. Weds Christmas Eve Still a bit foggy on the course. View from first tee box. Zach, our new club Manager, played along with us and won the CTP in his first try.  Clint and Ray tied for Medalist Honors at +7. Tom scored 36 points for a +5 to help Clint sweep the FBT for their team. Scott's Ace high straight was good enough to claim the pot in the Card Game. Sun nearly popped out at the end of the round. Friday 12/26 Leroy tops the scoring list with a +4, one stroke better than his teammates Raymond and Scott. They easily win the Back 9 and Total and tie for the Front 9. Randy wins the CTP. Teammates Butch, Brandon, and Wayne each have a birdie on the Front...
