Birthday Bash Brings Birdies-20, then Buckets-3

Bud's Boys celebrated Leroy's 74th birthday party a day early in a daylong celebration. Those lucky enough to get an invitation were encouraged to wear yellow (or something close to yellow), Leroy's favorite color of golf attire.








Thinking back to my younger days, yellow was a derogatory term in all the Westerns I watched. As in, "You gonna pull that gun or are you yellow?"


  And traffic light yellow meant caution, slow down. Of course, as I got older, I learned a yellow light meant go faster. And check out this newest description of the effects of yellow.


No denying the effects today as most were indeed alert and energized on course, and activity and interaction post round was something to see. The Birthday Boy provided his partygoers with a variety of Kimbeland appetizers and a couple of buckets to wash them down (Thank you, Saint Dawn, for advancing Leroy's allowance). Tom added another Bucket for backup and Raymond provided dessert in the form of cookies (yellow icing naturally).




Highlights of the Yellow effected player

As stated in headline, 20 birdies by the group today.
Tom And Glen (from the blue tees no less) each shoot 3 under par 69's to tally game high 39 points. Three more players top the 30-point mark, 7 shoot +3 or better led by Medalist Glen +9, Tom and Leroy one back at +8. Marty's +7 on the front gives his team a split of the Front, but his 2 birdies catch the Rabbit. Glen's 4 birdies on back along with 1 each from Andy and Bob clinch the Back. Doc's 2nd straight CTP gets some money back for his team. Now Doc must pray for rain on Tuesday or he won't be able to go for the 'Floyd' as he is scheduled to be out of town.

Birthday Power Unleashed!

We would not dare guess or suppose what combination of events on his Birthday morning could bring out the level of play achieved by Leroy today. True, he has been on a roll (+6 yesterday), but today, Wow. Shoots even par on front and follows with solid 15 point back to shoot a 75. Yes, that close to shooting his age. With +4 and +3 from Scott and Butch, they take the other split on Front and also the Total. Well played Birthday Boy!




I am sure Leroy would like to thank all who participated and contributed to a great day on the course. I certainly had a blast. A few more pictures for the unlucky who couldn't be here today.

    He did it again!.for those that don't know: Obie awards unlike the Tony awards are given for excellence in creativity and excellence of off Broadway theater. Since there's already an Obie award I nominate randy bohn for the buds boys newly established OPIE award for creative writing.

    After seeing the last post of our friend in yellow I did indeed feel very invigorated. My brain nerves and glands were stimulated. My brain alerted my memory to actively communicate with my wife. She just told me I now have only 1 yellow cap and 1 yellow shirt left and they can only be worn on holidays! Think yellow. Play yellow!

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

 Bud's Boys Count Your Blessings Issue Everyday should be a 'CYB' day but some days you realize it a little more. More on that later. Halloween is coming soon, and we have the Coors golfer haunting our course. Friday Rabbit Chase The greens were fast and furious once more and the total group score of minus 24 reflected as much. Kudos to Doc (+4) and Dean (+3) for shooting on the plus side of their handicap numbers in the tough conditions. Special shout out to Glen and Butch for breaking their streaks of minus golf with a +3 for Butch and a Medalist best +5 for Glen. Butch jarred his birdie putt on hole #9 to catch the Rabbit. Glen wins his 3rd CTP of October. Count your Blessings Indeed Way back in March, the woman I am related to by Marriage, insisted I buy a safer vehicle as my not-so-great driving skills were not going to improve. So, I thought I would treat myself for the first time since the 70's and buy a brand-new vehicle, a truck. As some remember, it only took
