Mon Dec 27

70's Temps, Return of Roger, Greetings from the South, the Bagger Gang Rides Again! and a Public Service Announcement in Today's Post.

PSA: If you are playing this week, you must bring your own food and drink as clubhouse is closed till New Year.

It is fitting that we hit the 70's in temperature the day we receive this message from our old friend Bob "The Rammer" Ramsey down in sunny Florida.

Chris, Bob, Jim and Mike (obviously these guys are in witness protection) 
Bob enjoys following the blog and keeping up with his old buddies and sends his good wishes. He also made this comment: "You guys are so lucky I am not there. I would be cleaning up with those lame scores you turn in!" Good ol' Bob, always the kidder. Bob, please keep in touch, hope you continue to follow us next year.

We had 14 golfers today total. Everyone anxiously awaits that opening tee shot. In bottom photo, Rodney explains today's game. 




Mark Roger drove all day yesterday from Colorado just to join the group. This is his tee shot on 4.

 He also zeroed in on 18 To take CTP. Welcome back indeed. Not sure how he will play tomorrow when caffeine wears off.

 Bagger Gang makes another Robbery

Could someone explain how this team that was in the trees, short of the green and sometimes just wandering around wins front and overall?



And yet they shoot +10 front and +11 total. Congrats Leroy, Gary and bagger Clint
Other highlights include Clint Medalist +7, one ahead of Raymond, Dean, And Mikey. Randy "Raymond" Balsman most points with 36, 3 better than R Bohn. Roger CTP.

Fun with numbers

We have to take a look at Mr. Balsman's scorecard on the front. On par 3 holes 4, 6, 8 he took bogeys. He did par the other even number hole 2 for a total of 5 points on the even number holes. What about the odd number holes? Apparently, everybody loves Raymond on the odds. Would you believe 15 points! Wait, that would mean he had to birdie all 5. Yes, 1,3,5,7, and 9 for a total of 20 points (2 under par) on the front. Throw in a birdie on 13 and he has a great 6 birdie day. Well Done!

Mother's Day 5/12

  Happy Mother's Day to everyone. I trust we are all treating the mothers in our lives like the queens they deserve to be treated. Hard to believe my own has been gone 41 years, but the 27 I lived with her are still as vivid as can be. Today might be Mother's Day, but Friday was certainly Mudder's Day. A seven-day layoff for BB's as our course was recovering from the deluge of constant rain. Though most of the course was okay, many swings today produced a spray of mud and water. The layoff combined with the conditions made plus golf a challenge. Tom's Medalist best +5 and Shelly's +3 were the only scores that moved their hcp# upward. No team finished plus in any of the FBT categories. Butch wins the CTP and Doc turns 2-pair in the Card Game to give their team 2 events today despite having the worst score of the 4 teams. Match Play Champion Crowned Also on Friday, the much-anticipated final of the first ever BB's Match Play Championship was completed. Clint a

St. Pat's Day Sunday 3/17

  Happy St Patrick's Day everyone. Today's edition has the final results from Thursday and Friday's rather small turnouts. But first, something new we are trying.  Many of you know today is the day the NCAA Tournament is revealed, and everyone starts filling out their brackets. Well, forget Kentucky and Kansas or Purdue or whoever! The real March Madness will take place at Kimbeland CC. Read on and fill out your bracket. The person who best predicts the outcome of all the matches will get some yet undetermined special prize, fitting the magnitude of such an event. Here are the participants and their region. In the Allen Hill Regional, Allen himself will square off with Randy. The winner will face the survivor of the Glen vs. KZ matchup. In the Andy McIntosh Regional, Doc and Jeff will meet, with the winner playing either Raymond or Leroy for the regional final. The Bud Marshall Regional has Scott and Roger facing off with the winner going up against the Bob vs. Tom match. T

Champion Golfer Full Coverage

Champion Golfer of the Year Raymond had to be on his game to win, as there were several great rounds turned in over the two days of play. Let's start at the beginning as we go step by step through the stages of the tournament. Thursday, Day 1 Twenty-four Bud's Boys teed off in hopes of taking home the big trophy. The weather was 40 degrees warmer than day 1 last year. The scores reflected the great conditions as half the field finished in the plus column. Butch leads at +7, 1-up on Raymond, Clint, and Floyd. Par 3 winners today #4 Westy #6 Butch #8 Tom #18 Bob Players compare scores post round Jeff predicts who will win on Friday Scoreboard Thursday Friday-Tournament Conclusion The group came out in patriotic red, white, and blue to support our Ryder Cup team (they needed considerably more than that it turned out). Front 9 Another great weather day and plenty of optimism as tee time neared. Several players scorched the Front 9 in an attempt to catch up. Hottest start to the rou
