 Bud's Boys Weekend News  It was a hopping good time for Thursday Medalist Day in BB's world. Four double jumpers vied for today's title. Defending Thursday champ from last week, Leroy, shot an impressive +5 only to see it dwarfed by teammate Ron, who carded a more impressive +9. Their teams feeling of satisfaction didn't last long, however, when the very next group came through.  Rodney and Bill F came through with a pair of +7's, well behind their leader Scott, who coincidentally wins his 11th Medal of 2025 by reaching +11 on the day. Scott also wins his 6th CTP. The only thing keeping this team from the Royal Flush of all 5 events was that they backloaded their +25 Total by scoring +19 on the Back 9. This allowed Ron and Leroy's trio to take the Front 9 with a +7.5. The +25 surely seemed to be a record, certainly by a threesome, but something about that +25 rang a bell in the back of my mind. Sure enough, back in February of 2024, these 3 BB's put the fir...

 BB's Mid Week Update Results from Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday 8/12   KZ and Rick Birthday Shoot Out Nobody won the Million Dollar Prize so it carries over to next year. Glen has the hot hand as he drops 7 birdies to offset only 2 bogeys for a sparkling 41 point performance, good for a Medalist best +8. Teammate Roger's CTP serves double duty as his birdie also wins the Random Skin. Randy and Doc both double jump with +7's. Roger likely sets a 1-day Bud's Boys record for earnings. His official take of $25 is not a record but add his unofficial winnings from the birthday side games and his total becomes $40, likely the biggest 1-day amount. Wednesday 8/13 Floyd's tee shot on 12 (from the white tees) rearranges the Red tee marker. No info given on where the ball ended up. Roger reminds everyone that it is not how well you play but how well your teammates play. His -1 score yesterday won him the most money of the day and his -3 today did not stop his squad from earn...

Remember tomorrow (Tuesday) is KZ and Rick's Million Dollar challenge. You must be present to win. Week in Review Very busy weekend has forced me to cut some corners to get this posted. Thanks for the picture contributions from many of you. Tuesday and Friday were scoring days as the Boy's were +61 on those days. Wednesday and Thursday scores totaled -39. A 100-point difference. Somebody explain that to me. Tuesday 8/5 Random Skin Norris and Floyd both card +7's for Co-Medalist honors and their team takes Back 9 and Total.  Butch's CTP and Don's birdie on #4 gives their team 2 events.
