Masters Friday Game

Image
  Today we played a game combining our individual scores with 2 of the professional players and their scores today at Augusta. Each of our 17 contestants randomly picked a top twenty player and a 'second' twenty player to fill out their scorecard. Shelly shot a 2-under to add to her 2 pros total of -6 for a game winning score of -8. She wins the first place prize of $20. Roger and Brandon split the $15 2nd and 3rd place money as they tied for second at -6. Brandon has chosen to have free mulligans for the rest of 2026 in lieu of his $7.50 winnings. Tom wins the $20 special 'Hole #12 CTP' from the Blue Tees. Full results listed at end of column. More news tomorrow about our 4-day Masters Fantasy Draft. Spoiler Alert; Butch has taken the lead at -10. Hopefully Sunday will have results of our week of regular play, including details of this hole-in-one on #8 today.

Round 1 Round 1 ends with Ray holding to a 2 stroke lead with a 67. Delbert, Butch, and Tom turn in a 69. 70 for both Bill's, Shelly, Charlie, and Glen. Doc in the cellar with a 78. All scores listed after Friday Numbers.

Thursday Numbers

  Here are the numbers for Thursday and below that are the 17 entrants in the Masters Fantasy Draft.  Thirty-four dollars barring late entrants tomorrow morning. Probably a $25 and $9 split for first and second.

  Masters Week is here and I have already announced the fantasy draft game which is for spectating only. For those filling out their ten golfers, the top 25 players according to the odds makers are listed at the bottom. Now that Friday's weather looks good, I am proposing a 2-day Thursday-Friday tourney with us playing along with the pros at Augusta. We will still play our regular game both days, no worries if you can't play the tournament, the regular game is there for those who are limited to only one of the two days. The tournament would be your Thursday Friday score combined with 2 pros (chosen at random) and their scores at the Masters. As always, more info later if you are interested.

Easter Sunday 4/5/2026

  Hoppy Easter to all Bud's Boys and families! As I type this our 30 guests have left the house and we have mostly put things back to normal upstairs. The basement mess can wait another day. An unusual full week of golf gives us 5 days to cover plus a review of March. Here we go. Monday March 30 Ten BB's on the course. Floyd, Clint, and Ray sweep the FBT to emerge the big winners.  Bill F wins the CTP for his team and Reverse Rabbit to the remaining group to make everyone a winner. Tuesday March 31 Norris cards a +6 to lead Keith and Marty to Front and Total wins and his birdie on #5 wins random skin. Glen wins CTP. No April fooling for Glen as he scores 37 points, a +9 effort to win 2 events, and a second straight CTP by beating out 21 other BB's. Notable scores include Shelly's double jump +8 and Tom's 36 points. A pair of Kings wins a not so exciting Card Game. Only 27 cards were earned by the 6 teams. Westy returns to play after a layoff of over a year. Thursday...

 Bud's Boys March Dispatch On Thursday we had winners, and we had losers, and later we had boozers. But whichever way you played it, all agreed it to be another splendid day to play. Medalist Day produced a tie for the top score, a double jump +8, between Allen and Clint. This is the second consecutive Medalist Day that Clint "Sandy" Ruppel has posted a +8. More on that later. Keith, Doc, and Ray are biggest winners by taking the Back 9 and the Total. Ray and Doc both birdied #10. Glen wins his 4th CTP in March and now leads the pack with 6 on the season. New Award Alert Marty has donated a few golf balls with a logo on the ball that seems justified to hand out at appropriate times for the actions of certain individuals. If you deem someone worthy of the honor, Bill H has been designated as the arbiter to accept or deny your request. If accepted, your nominee will be awarded one of these prized golf balls to display as he seems fit. More importantly, he will be officially...
