 Rammer Returns 


The Rammer returned for a one-day engagement with his old group. Leroy said he really enjoyed his stories, especially the one about how he set the course record at his Florida club with a sizzling 62, and wrestling an alligator on the 18th green the same day. He joined 13 others as we toured 18 holes dotted by pin placements set by an obviously PO'd greenskeeper. Some interesting positioning of the holes must have been the reason for the poor scoring today. Only our Medalist Tom (+2) saw his number go up after completing the round. Hole 16 turned out to be toughest hole of the day, only because of pin placement. Situated at the cusp of the drop off, it yielded a mere 11 points. Take away Leroy's birdie (did not hear the details on that) and Clint's par, and the other 12 players combined for 6 points on 6 bogeys and 6 doubles. My group had a halfway up come back down putt. A from the top to the bottom, and a bottom to top, and then back down again. Rick, Bob, and Brandon's +1 easily wins front. Despite scoring zero points on 10, and only 9 through first 4 holes, they rallied to tie the back 9 with a -4 and taking total as well. Floyd wins CTP with his first since his "Floyd". He also had the shot of the day. Standing in the trap, with a devilish downhill run awaiting him.



Okay, that wasn't the shot of the day, it was the next one, which he holed. You'll have to take Scott's, Glen's and my word on that.



Rick displays his scars from searching for his ball on 13.

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

  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.
