Friday April 15

 If you are a baseball fan, you know April 15 is celebrated as Jackie Robinson Day across Major League Baseball. All teams pay tribute to the player who made his debut on April 15, 1947. But did you know what other famous event took place on April 15?

April 15, 1912 was the day the unsinkable Titanic did indeed sink. I find this interesting only because our golf scores continued to sink today to the tune of -11 points. We can only hope that higher temperatures will bring with it higher point totals and end this disturbing trend of 7 straight rounds of minus golf . Wait a minute, what's this I see. A closer look at the numbers reveals another oddity. The group number of -11 is correct. The oddity is that only 3 of the 14 players today saw their number go down. These 3 players shot identical -5's, bringing down the other 11 players. Only Bud's Boys policy of not making fun of bad play prevents me from naming names. Sorry.

On the plus side, Glen has most points with 34 and is Medalist at +4, 2 better than Roger. Dean's birdies on 6 and 9 secures the rabbit for his team. Clint earns CTP.

Bud's Boys Public Service Announcement

It seems I have received some criticism lately, commenting a little too much about adult beverage consumption. Let me be clear that our group certainly promotes personal responsibility. To correct this injustice, we present this quote from one of my all-time heroes, Mr. Dean Martin. "Remember everyone, do not drink and drive. Hell, don't even putt!"

Swings of the Day

We have a two for one deal today. Brandon hasn't played much this year, so let's get his in here.

Next up is Jeff. By the way, did you know he used to be a 3rd base coach? Check out his post swing mannerisms.
