  Meet the 3 teams of the 2026 edition of Birdie Bingo after a review of this week's play! Tuesday June 23 Randy, Clint, Floyd, and Butch all record plus scores to give the foursome 3 of today's 5 events. Randy's +6 is Medalist best score and Clint wins his 7th CTP. Don's birdie on #7 takes the Random Skin. Wednesday June 24 Twenty players divided up into 5 teams for a Wednesday Card Game. Butch is the star of the show as his +5 is top net score of the day and he cruelly snatches the CTP from Dave (last group of course). Tom, Shelly, Bill F., and Don all shoot plus scores to win the Front 9 and edge Butch's team by 1 to win the Total. Clint turns a Full House to win the Card Game for his minus 6 team.

  A sparse amount of reporting to share so I will throw in a couple more 'Blasts from the Past' to conclude today's blog. Thanks to some mighty fine scheduling by our higher ups, we only had Tuesday and Wednesday available for BB's to gather and show off our considerable set of skills.  Box scores and notes from June 16 and 17. Tuesday 6/16 Random Skin Day Leroy comes in with a more than impressive +7 for the day, good enough for his squad to cash in $18 with a +6.5 Front 9.

 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...
