January 2022 Review

 

This is the scene at Kimbeland Country Club today as reported by BB photographer Raymond. Is there hope for golf later this week? Luckily Kimbeland wasn't hit as hard as Doc's place as he received 2 feet of snow. Thanks for the photo, Doc.

Anyway, fingers crossed for a fast melt and golf (soggy style) later this week.

With no golf to report, I looked back at January's results and came up with this summary. We managed 10 days of golf (11 last Jan) for the month, 21 of our group playing 104 rounds. Scott and Glen led with 9 rounds, 8 by Tom, Randy and Mikey, Roger 7, Doc, Floyd, Gary 6, Raymond, Shelly and Andy 5.  Money wise (AND THIS IS NOT WHAT WE ARE PLAYING FOR), winners and losers as follows. In the plus column:

Allen 12 Floyd  8 Tom 7  Rodney 7  Raymond 6  Rick 5  Roger 5  Glen 4  Leroy 3 Gary 2    

In the not fortunate enough to win minus column (We should not refer to them as losers): Doc 11, Scott 10, Bob, Butch, Andy 8 Randy 7, Brandon 4, Shelly, Mikey 2, John, Josh 1.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Remember, these numbers are not to be used for gloating, bragging, crowing, or for making fun of. We do enough of that already. These are only to be used as suggestions for " Who can I buy a drink for, who could really use one? Who DESERVES one?  Thank you for your consideration.

As for CTP competition, Floyd leads with his 3 in a row. Raymond 2, Tom, Randy, Allen, Mikey, and Roger 1. Editor's note: You can't win if you don't play.

Florida news 

To help warm our hearts and feelings, 2 reports from our southern correspondents. From Bob "The Rammer" is this shot of an unwanted 5th player at his course. 

His group has named this intruder (and I am not making this up) Leroy. Probably because, like with our Leroy, people politely and respectfully move out of his way as he approaches. Thanks for the update, Bob. From Jeff is another picture of his favorite Florida hobby.

Jeff really needs to get back North where people still wear clothes.

Don't forget to let me know if you would like a Bud's Boys hat.

Hey guys, Billie Jo again. I really need your help. I have been called a cheater! Let me explain. I hit a wayward drive on a par 5 late in a close match. The ball bounded toward the driving range. There just happened to be a man lying on the ground with a tee in his mouth. Remarkably, my ball bounced right on top of the tee! I played the ball as it lied, took advantage by hitting my Ping driver.

Naturally, I birdied the hole. My competition accused me of cheating by using a tee. I claim I played it as it lay. Please help, being called a cheater really hurts my feelings.

Well, our dear Billie Jo, we are not going to stand for this. Of course, you didn't do anything wrong. The thought of you being upset calls for action. Please give us the address of your competitor. We are sending Bud's Boys rules committee to enlighten this weasel you played with.

A couple of things that passed through the office this week.

Couldn't help laughing at this one.

No, it didn't make me think of anyone. And finally, what your clubs say about you.

                                                                                                  

Here are current numbers, and no, they are not negotiable due to lay-off.
