 Bud's Boys March On We managed to complete 3 days of play before and after the deluge of precipitation. Sorry to hear our Jackson contingent are taking cold showers because of it. Suck it up, buttercup! (As once said on the course.) Doc standing between his favorite two toys. His cart is back in service after a total makeover. He was so pleased with the work that he didn't care about his -7 on the course. Tuesday March 3 Before the round, Glen was presented with his 2026 Player of the Year trophy. A bag of Fritos from his friends in Mexico was included. On the course Butch becomes the first BB to reach the +10 threshold as his team sweeps the FBT. His birdie on #7 also claims Tuesday's special contest of Random Skin to give his team a near miss at a Royal Flush. Bill H is the spoiler with his first CTP of 2026. Wednesday March 4 A bonus day, sort of, as rain was expected.  Roger wins his first CTP this season. Randy, Glen, and Clint win the Card Game with a straight, givin...

 Bud's Boys Early Year Review In today's issue we will find the box scores from Thursday and Friday play along with a complete look at our first two months of golf. But first, a few ideas I would like to propose for the upcoming spring and summer months. Bud's Boys Special Events I realize our regular weekly play is all some of you are looking for and that's fine. We will continue to roll along as always, God willing, and we have that to look forward to each week. However, a few extras along the way can be beneficial to group morale and spirit. At least that's what I believe has happened in the past when we have tried them. Anyway, here are some things on my mind. I am thinking of a 2-day Masters event on the Thursday and Friday of Masters week (April 9-10). Another 'Major Tournament', if you will, with slight adjustments to our regular rules. A Birdie Bingo (or some variation) starting May 1. A Match Play Tourney June or July. A once-a-month BB's Saturd...

 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. Clint has been Medalist 3 of the last 5 times he has played. Doc has a 9-game winning streak going, not losing since January 9. Card game was won with 2-pair the best in show.

 Bud's Boys Presidential Edition Happy Birthday George, hope to see you coming more than going this year. This edition contains box scores of 4 days of play plus a look back to a landmark event in BB's history at the end of the column. The week also included the debuts of a couple of our younger still working members as Brandon and Brian swung the clubs with us for the first time. Monday Feb 16 Wayne co-claims Medalist honors with Rick, has the most points, wins the CTP and nets $1. Here are the results. Tuesday Feb 17 Tom and Bill H tie for Medalist with +1 scores, which correctly leads you to determine that scoring was not at a premium on a miserable day.  When you are expecting temps in the mid-60's and you end up with wind chill in the 30's, it can be hard to focus. 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...
