Roger Starts the Round  Bud's Boys closed out the month of January with 14 players punching their timecard, ready to go to work. No Monday blahs today as this group carded a plus 25 on the day. All 4 teams finished their round in the plus column. Scott, Gary, Bob, and Randy each had 3 birdies. Tom had a bogey-free round for a 1 under par performance. Tom's 37 points were tops, one more than Randy. Leroy takes Medalist with a +8, amazing in that he hadn't played in 18 days. (Editor's note: Can't wait to see how he follows it up tomorrow.) Honorable mention to Bob and Tom +7, Scott +6, and Allen +5. Glen and Mikey let Leroy and Tom carry them to a fairly easy sweep of the front back and total. With the last shot of the day, Randy wins his first CTP of the year to get his team's money back. I have it on good authority he would have hit his ball in the water had he known who had the closest up till then. Sorry Shelly! Doc and Allen double birdie on 15 Ask Bud's

 How many of you still remember Mission Impossible from the 60's?  After listening to the secret message,  Mr. Phelps would pull out a file full of pictures and choose the best agents for the mission. Fast forward to Jan 27, 2022. Now imagine Bud's Boys Mission Leader Leroy receiving this message: "Mr. Leroy, your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find 4 rugged agents to represent Bud's Boys at Kimbeland today. The conditions are rough, cold and windy and no sun. Our reputation is at stake. As always, should you accept, we will disavow any knowledge of your actions. If you decide not to accept, you are fired." Leroy retires to his den, pulls out his file of agents (and a beer), ready to make his selections. We join Leroy's thoughts as he thumbs through the pictures. "Tom A, yes, he is a known hunter and could probably get rid of a body if things go bad. Doc and Andy, no, if captured I am sure they would talk. Scott, yes, he wouldn't say s

 Welcome back everyone. The staff is back at work after yesterday's holiday. Some were drinking with Jeff, and he sends this pic from Ft. Lauderdale. More from Jeff later. The group had a 5-day layoff due to weather, and 17 golfers braved chilly conditions in hopes of getting at least one round in this week. line 'em up boys! Floyd explains the science behind V-formation of geese to Butch. You learn something new every day with this group. If you haven't heard this explanation yet, please ask Floyd, I promise you will be enlightened. Rick has the honor of striking the first drive of the day. Despite the layoff, scoring was up on the day with the group ending the day with +22. Nine players carded a total of 19 birdies with Tom and Doc leading with 4 each. Five players topped the 30-point level led by Tom's 36. Medalist was a tight battle with Allen ending on top with +8, closely followed by Doc +7, Tom and Floyd +6. Teamwise, 3 of 5 got a piece of the pot. Tom, Floyd and

 As I am sure you are all aware, our offices here at Bud's Boys are closed today in recognition of a National Holiday very close to our hearts. Next edition has plenty of material and will be posted in the next day or two. Doesn't seem likely there will be any more play till then anyway.  In case there is anyone who is not aware of the holiday. On this Date Jan 24, 1935 Honorable mention, the one time a man proved as stubborn as a woman. On this date Jan 24, 1972

 Floyd Does It Again!! Hockey has its hat trick, 3 goals in a game. Bowling has a turkey, 3 strikes in a row. Bud's Boys now has the " Floyd" . Floyd today snagged his 3rd straight CTP. This has not been done in the recorded history of Bud's Boys. In the years to come, I can hear: He has a chance for a "Floyd" today; Wow, he nearly got a "Floyd"; Do you think he can pull off a "Floyd"? He had to work for this one as there were several quality shots today, but he came through as you can see. (Orange tee, bottom right corner) The rest of the round had its moments. Glen eagled number 1 and finished with most points (37), Gary Medalist +8, 2 ahead of Roger. Floyd of course, takes the CTP. Doc, Butch, and Randy celebrate birdie on 10 This is significant in that the other 17 holes they played resulted in last place and the only team not to get some of their money back.
