Thurs June 23

 Lower heat index led to better scores on Thursday. Not a one of the 4 teams finished in the minus category. 

Rodney, Tom, and Brian only team to all finish plus for the day, winning Front (+7 1/2) and Total (+11).

Scott saves the day for his team by taking CTP. His subsequent birdie putt wins Back 9 by 1 point.

Bob is Medalist at +7, 3 better than Glen, Tom, Brian, and Allen.  Glen top point getter with 34.




New Scoring System Examples




First off, please excuse my cranky attitude this morning. I am sure it was the residue of yesterdays post round hangover (physically, not alcoholic).

Here are how today's scoring went for my team.

Team 1

Randy needs 28 points     14 a side
Scott             23                 11 1/2
Glen              30                15

81 total points                   40 1/2 a side

We scored    36 on front, a minus 4 1/2
We had        46 on back, a plus 5 1/2, total +1

What about tomorrow?

This part hasn't changed. If you score plus 2 or better you go up, minus 2 or worse you go down. If you score plus 1, minus 1, or even, you stay the same. What has changed is you only go up 1 point total instead of 1 point on each side. Thus, the 1/2 points. Let's finish the example with my team today.

Randy had 24 today, a -4. He drops 1 point to 27. Will need 13 1/2 tomorrow.
Scott had 24, a +1. He stays at 23 points. Will need 11 1/2 again.
Glen had 34, a +4. He goes up 1 point to 31. Will need 15 1/2 tomorrow.

Basically, just divide your number in half for your number per side

28 points    14 a side 
27 points     13 1/2 a side
26 points     13 a side
25 points     12 1/2 a side etc..

As always, we are more than happy (usually) to help out. We will get through this.

Last Important Note

With 1/2 points in place, there will be fewer ties on front and back. This means 1 point can mean win or lose, no tie. SO DON'T SCRAPE, PUSH, RAKE, or TAKE A PUTT. The rest of us do not deserve that. Do not let ego, frustration, or in my case, fear of missing an 8 inch putt make you be 'THAT GUY'. Man up and putt it in. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

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...

New Years News Bits- Opening Day 2025 We have coverage of the first two days of the new 2025 season along with a look back at 2024. Plenty of pictures from several different contributors of the winter storm to pass your time. Maybe we should throw in a couple bucks and make your prediction of when the next Bud's Boys round will be played. It is good to be back up and running with my new computer. The geek salesman assured me this computer will be much faster. Honestly though, I seem to type just as slow as before. Thursday Lunch Proposal How about we meet again this Thursday (11:00) if there is no golf. We had a good turnout this past week and I propose we do it again this Thursday. Any thoughts welcome, otherwise, pass the word. Thursday Jan 2 Thursday January 2nd was the official start to BB's 2025 season. Doc, Mikey, and Roger squared off against Randy, Glen, and Scott. Scott wins the first Thursday Medalist of the new year, and it leads his team to a FBT sweep. Doc wins the...

Bud's Boys Look Back On 2024 January through June Remember Lunch Every Thursday until Golf Returns! Player of the Year Awarded! To say KZ was surprised is an understatement! 2023 POY Raymond makes the presentation. KZ's resume includes: Money Winner Net Money Winner Most Improved (+4) Medal Leader Thursday Medali$t Leader 20 game winning streak January   Opening Day 2024 was Tuesday the 2nd. Roger wins his second straight CTP but fails to join Butch and Floyd on Wednesday the 3rd. Shelly notches her 3rd career hole-in-one on Jan 11. We had 19-day layoff from the 11th to the 30th, eating was all we had to do. February Rodney wins his first CTP of the season with this gem on #18. Randy gets some revenge on hole #10 by holing out from 150 yards for an eagle on Feb 11. Feb 13th was not a Friday, but it produced a memorable day nonetheless. Known as the scorecard debacle, this story will live on for years to come in BB's lore. It deserves a little space today.  These are the 4 p...
