 May Day! Another Month Gone! Bud's Boys play in the month of May ended on Thursday. Full review in today's edition along with box scores of the 3 days we did play. An explanation of our new tiebreaker system as well. But first, an observation. I walked into Academy Sports on Friday with the better half who was looking for a new pair of athletic shoes. Normally, I would wander over to the golf section to kill some time. Today, however, I found it more age appropriate to visit this section. Didn't purchase anything but put a few things on my 'may need later' list. May Review We were allowed 14 days of play, same as 2025. We had 33 different BB's sign in to play 244 rounds of golf, an average of 17 per day. Tom was the leading money winner with a net of $44. Norris $27, Glen $22, and Bill F $20 were distant followers. Clint made a big jump in the CTP race with 3 this month. Tom was the only other player with more than 1 with his 2 victories. Medalist honors had th...

Memorial Day 2026

  I have been posting some old blogs from 2022 lately, a look back at some of our group activities from that year. I am sticking to 2022 for today's 'Front Page'. Bud's Boys results from the past week will follow. I woke up Memorial Day morning in 2022 with something on my mind. I searched through some old family photos and picked a few out and typed up the following story. Another look back to 2022. Memorial Day 2022  My Memorial Day Story Thanks to all who have served. While it should be every day, I hope you realize many of us appreciate the meaning of today's celebration. I understand our group is well known for "recycling" stories, so I apologize to those who have already heard this more than once. However, I find myself in a mood this Memorial Day Eve to add extra narrative and throw in a few pictures to a day I will never forget. Saturday May 30, 1964, when Memorial Day was celebrated on the 30th regardless of the day of the week. My uncle Russell c...

  Halfway through May and plenty to talk about. Recaps of the week's play and another entry from our look back to 2022 series plus a special Bud's Boys mystery story. Stay tuned for that. But first, an interesting fun with numbers to start the day. Fun with Numbers - May 6 through May 15 We have played 7 rounds in May. Would you believe; The group is a combined +137 for the month. We have had individual scores of +10, two +8's, four +7's, and six +6's. Many 5's and 4's. Of the 25 individuals who have played at least twice this month, five players have improved 1 point, TEN have improved 2 points, and one has improved 4 POINTS (Roger, who shares a tip with Rick). Only two players have dropped a point. Teamwise, up until May, it was not unusual for a minus score to win the Front 9. So far this month we have had a +10, a +9, a pair of 7.5's and a minimum of +3 to win the Front. The Back 9 has had a +13, a +10, and a couple +8.5's. A minimum of 5.5 to wi...
