 Tee Times Tues May 31 - Friday June 3

These are the "official" times you would see online. Of course, we must be ready sooner because of circumstances. Such as, the 10 o'clock group has 9:50 thru 10:14 Weds and Thursday. That's 4 tee times and they may only use 2. We could tee off shortly after 10 if we are READY! Call or text if you are running late. 

Tues May 31-     10:30 

Weds June 1-     10:22

Thurs June 2-    10:22

Fri June 3-           9:10  Yes, 9:10


Friday is at 9:10 so be warned.



Friday Results





The last Friday of May was another chilly pullover wearing kind of day. Sixteen was the final count after Rodney pulled in a little late.


Floyd and Brian were co-Medalists (+6), leading their teams to 2 and 1 wins respectively. Glen's CTP and 2 rabbit securing birdies win the other 2.

Random Rants

What I love about golf. To steal a quote from former Cardinal pitcher Joaquin Andujar. 


Same with golf. This week my group of 4 faced the easiest hole on the course (per scorecard hcp) and scored a grand total of 1 point. A 120 yd downhill par 3 (hole no. 4) and we get 1 stinking point. Four holes later we face another par 3. 174 yards over water straight into a 20-mph wind. We walk off the green with 3 pars and a bogey, 7 points. You never know indeed.

What I don't like is golf's ability to make ridiculous rules and make it so easy for non-golfers to make fun of the sport. Bear with me as I piece together this story.









Okay, that was longer and less interesting than I first thought. But there it is. I agree that what's worse than a bad rule are the twits who call someone on it. 
Last one, greenskeepers who must be in a bad mood.
This is from Iowa's girls state championship. This pin placement led to an average score of quadruple bogey, and an average of 20 minutes just to putt out.

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
