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.

St. Pat's Day Sunday 3/17

Image
  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

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

Champion Golfer Full Coverage

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).
