Tues Dec 21

The Return of Billie Jo! Plus, Tues Recap (D***it Brandon wins again) and the Race for CTP King in this edition.

Lots to get to so let's get to today's action first. Five teams of 3 competed on a sunny crisp Tuesday. Our thoughts were with Jeff (Lil A) as we teed off. Good Luck in P town Jeff. Rodney starts the show.

Brandon, Westy, and Shelly take front (+8) and overall while Butch, Rick, and Mikey take the back (+4).

Randy Balsman approach on 15 leads to his 2nd consecutive birdie. Shelly takes Medalist +4, one better than Mikey and Scott. Glen tops points list with 32, one better than both Randy Bs. 

Race for CTP


Mark wins CTP today over teammate Glen (Big A) to stretch lead to 3 with only a week and change to go. We asked Mark about his chances.
MARK: " I am putting the clubs away for the rest of the year, very confident my lead will hold. Glen is known as Iceman not because he is cool under pressure, but because he freezes up. At least that is what Jeff tells me". 

ASK BUD'S BOYS

This edition of Ask Bud's Boys features our old friend Billie Jo.

I bet when you looked at Billie Jo's picture you noticed the same thing I did. That's right, she uses the same Ping driver I do! That leads to her question.

BILLIE JO: "Hey Bud's Boys, I have another question for you but first let me thank Westy for his tip. I am busting my drives even further. I play a lady's flex shaft set at 11 degrees loft. Am I allowed to adjust during a tournament or league round? Thanks for your help."
You are welcome, Billie Jo and normally I would turn you over to our rules guru and arbiter Leroy. Unfortunately, this is his day to call Bingo at the Sisters of St. Peter Paul and Mary retirement convent so I will answer. By the way, my Ping is set at 9 degrees with a regular flex, not as stiff as when I was younger. The answer to your question is no (rule 4.1a(3)). I can tell you if you played with us, you could adjust all you want and probably have volunteers to help you. Hope this helps.

Results and numbers

    Dear Bobbi Jo,
    I am considering a wedge purchase, how much bounce do you have on your equipment?

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 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
