 Bud's Boys Flag Day Edition At least one history source claims Flag Day was first conceived by a schoolteacher in Wisconsin in the late 19th century. Through the efforts of many other advocates, it was officially established by a proclamation from President Woodrow Wilson in 1916 and permanently signed into law by Harry Truman in 1949. Flag Day is not an official federal holiday (not on the mailman's list of days off), but Pennsylvania observes it as an official state holiday. It is also my birthday. I am officially 70 years old today. Could be a little depressing but just this week, an attractive young lady wanted my number. My blood pressure number. Don't have the energy I used to, that's for sure. Just this week my still young and lovely wife suggested we go upstairs and 'you know'. I said I could 'do that' or I could go upstairs, I can't do both.  A little perspective here. Our country has its 250th birthday next month. I have lived, or experien...

  Wednesday Birthday Party celebrating Flag Day - Wear your Red, White, and Blue This is a quick 'Joe Friday' "Just the facts Mam" type edition. Since Doc was gone this week, we have few pictures. Okay we have no pictures, but we do have wrap ups of the four days played. And as we just passed the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, I will repost a previous story from 2024. Tuesday June 2 The first playing day of June sees 3 of the 5 teams split today's prize pool. Don wins his first CTP since returning and Bill F wins the Random Skin for his team with a birdie on #12. Rick has top score at +6. Wednesday June 3 Big turnout of 22 covered the course on Card Game Wednesday. A pair of double jump scores highlighted the action. Don and Roger both post +8's, good enough for Roger's team to carry the Front 9 and win the Card Game with an Ace high Straight. Don's +8 was good for nothing as his team falls short in all categories. The team of Rick, Randy, and Charlie scor...

 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...
