Weds March 16

 Season High Turnout

Soaring temperatures brought out short pants and a year high 22 players on Wednesday. 






Highlights include,
Jeff's first CTP of 2022
Rick Medalist +9
Glen and Randy tie at 36 for most points
+6 scores turned in by Westy, Allen, Glen, and Randy
4 birdies for Randy (all 4 from off the green)
double birdie Raymond and Doc on 8


Statistical Oddity

If you remember from the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou", George Clooney refers to a statistical when numbers about anything seemed a little strange. We had our own statistical oddity today when Jeff birdied twice, Shelly and Norm once, leaving Glen as the only member of the team not to birdie. The oddity is that Glen had 36 points. For Jackson graduates and others not keen with numbers, this means Glen had 18 straight pars. Oddity indeed, well played Glen. Also allows him to complain and brag at the same time. " I couldn't get a birdie putt to drop, had to settle for 18 pars."

Message from Bud

Our namesake has a suggestion about what to do on Mondays since the course will be closed.



Bud believes we have several well qualified old coots to do the job. Now we just need a place to set up.

St. Pat's Tomorrow

If you don't wear green you do not get a mulligan on the first tee!

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.
