 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...

 Bud's Boys Mid-Week Update The big question on Wednesday Card Game was, "Can anyone slay the Dragon?" That, of course, meant stopping Mr. March from adding to his win streak. Butch won again on Tuesday (full story later) setting up today's action. Whoever had thoughts of accomplishing this feat knew they must bring something special to the course on this fabulous sunny day, a very big sword for a very large dragon. And so it was, on Wednesday March 25, that the Man in Yellow struck a mighty blow on Hole #8. Leroy sinks his 6th career hole-in-one for a 5-point 3-card parlay to add to his team total. His plus 8 score, along with plus scores from all 3 teammates swept the FBT, leaving Butch with only 2 more chances to win. Clint earned his first CTP of the season to close that account, leaving only the Card Game to extend his undefeated month of March. Things looked bad for Butch when Leroy turned a Heart Flush. Butch, however, never gives up, no matter how dire the cir...

  Butch's Boys Golf News for 3/22/2026 No, we have not changed the name of our group. It's just that Butch has taken over the group for the month of March. Read on to follow his latest escapades in his March Madness run. Wednesday March 18 The problem with deciding not to play because it is too cold (it was), or too windy (it definitely was), is you never know what record breaking performances you don't get to witness. Such was the case on this particular Card Game Wednesday. It should come as no surprise that Butch was on the winning side after the golf was over and the last card was turned. Here are the Bud's Boys records established. 1. Worst Score to ever win the Front 9 - Minus 13 and a half! Yes, all of today's players succumbed to the early weather conditions.  2. Largest increase from Front 9 to Back 9 - 21 Points! Butch's team improves 21 points on the Back 9 as conditions softened in the afternoon. 3. First Team ever to score Minus 16 on the Front 9 an...

 Bud's Boys Mid March Update As I am typing this, the windows are shaking with the impact of the 30mph plus wind gusts. I understand Raymond is giving it a go at Kimbeland this morning. Waiting to hear his report. Monday looks frigid and St Pat's looks very iffy. Hate to miss 🍀Day. Maybe weather luck will change by then. Five rounds started this week, four were played to completion. The wrap-ups of those four plus another entry from the archives. Monday March 9 A half-dozen BB's teed off on Monday. Weather was a bit tougher than expected.  Raymond's 4th CTP prevents Butch, Doc, and Roger from taking all 5 events. Tuesday March 10 A rough day for scoring on Tuesday as minus 28 was the end result of the 14 BB's signed in. Keith was immune to whatever was affecting the rest of the group. His +4 is the only score to move his handicap upward. His score plus even rounds by Jeff and Wayne give the trio an FBT sweep by eleven strokes. Wayne's birdie on 17 wins the Rand...
