 Bud's Boys Wednesday Extra The wind died down for the whole day, allowing players to play 18 holes without feeling beat up. Not surprisingly, the scores reflected the weather as 5 players watched their handicap rise, led by Clint with a Medalist best +7, one stroke better than the +6 by Bill H. You have to go back to January 9 to find 5 players moving upward. Players on Fire With today's win, Wayne has now won 3 of the last 5 CTP's.

Wayne focused well enough to win the CTP, his 2nd in a row. He will vie for the coveted Floyd in the next match. Bill H and Butch sweep the FBT with the help of Allen dropping out at the turn.  These rar...

 Bud's Boys Valentines Report Today's report includes box score from Friday along with another look back to January of 2022. Scroll down past Monday's numbers if you would like a trip down memory lane. I do believe Billie Jo is included in today's selection. I trust that most of the Boys treated and were treated well on Saturday. If not, there is always next year. Friday Results The piles of snow and ice are slowly melting, as the rust also continues to shake from the 13 BB's who teed up on Friday the 13th. Not a single BB saw his number increase after the round's conclusion. Clint's +2, the only plus number today, wins Medalist Honors. His team is victorious on The Front and Total despite Jeff's 11-point drop from Thursday's score. Clint and Jeff graciously donate Butch's share to the 'Bud's Boys Fund for Better Golf '. That is the risk you take for leaving early. I know I repeat this too often, but the beauty of the CTP was on full ...
