 Bud's Boys Celebrate First Day of Summer and Tom's 71 (Years, not Score)

Sixteen gathered under the tree of knowledge, awaiting the drawing of the teams.

The bad thing about being in the last group is the extra 20-minute wait. Here, Rick works on his swing while Mikey checks his stocks and Westy sends Anita another love note.

Scoring way up today as group finished a total of +33 on the day. In fact, 12 of the 15 players in the game (Allen could only play 9) finished on the plus side of the ledger. Scott earns Medalist with +8 (helped by an Eagle on 1), but was closely pursued by Tom, Rodney, and Glen at +5, and Rick at +4. Glen leads points with 35, followed by Tom (33) and Jeff (31). Birdies (or eagle) were scored by 12 of the 15.

Bob and Brian added to Scott's score for wins on Back and Total.

This crew tallied 10 points on hole 1 (birdies by 'Big' and 'Little' A), just enough to win Front by a single stroke.

Rodney wins the CTP with a cut 6-iron to about 8 feet. Do I see a new hat in his future with his winnings? Which reminds me.

SEMO Seniors Update

Good Luck to Bill, Leroy, Gary, and Bob as they try to duplicate their success at Sikeston tomorrow at Terre du Lac. Randy, Raymond, Glen, and Clint are sitting this one out as they were denied appearance fees. Not to fear, however, as the dynamic duo of Allen and Deano will fill the void, ensuring another strong showing by Bud's Boys.

Tom's Birthday Bash

I must say that the choice of ice cream cake after a round played in 98-degree heat, could not have been better. Thanks to Tom for providing this welcome surprise.

Doc performed magic tricks as entertainment.

Leroy keeps an eye on Scott's money distribution.
