Weekend Wrap-up 12/11

 Bud's Boys Notes and Stuff 12/7 Thru 12/9

Wednesday 12/7

I was only able to post results for Wednesday without comment due to time constraints, so I will toss in a few. Give Key-Z credit for a Medalist best +4, one better than Jeff's +3. Raymond stops Jeff's attempt for a Floyd by edging him out for CTP. Tom, Glen, and KeyZ win poker hand with a flush, our first decent hand since we started. Jeff's team earns 9 cards to no avail.

Also received this interesting text. 'It is appropriate that Leroy brought another team down today on Pearl Harbor Day. He has now sunk more teams than the Japs did battleships.'  Ouch!

Thursday 12/8

Course closed due to excessive rain. Being in a musical mood as I stared out the window at the falling rain, I couldn't help thinking of all the songs about rain. Here are a few of my favorites.

Have you ever seen the rain- CCR

Who'll stop the rain- also CCR

Rhythm of the rain - The Cascades

Very popular in my youth were,

Fire and Rain -James Taylor

Raindrops keep falling on my head - B.J. Thomas

Rainy night in Georgia - Brook Benton

I am sure Allen, Andy, and Rodney were getting jiggy with Gene Kelly's 'Singing in the rain.'

I suspect Leroy's favorite might be 'Kentucky Rain' by the King, Elvis Presley.

Something tells me Josh might fancy Willie Nelson and 'Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain.'

I would be interested in what the favorite rain song of our musicians Westy and Doc would be. Also, anyone else who has a favorite, give us a shout.

Friday Results


A day that ended in sunshine and no wind was a pleasant break for the 9 players assembled.
Sticking with our musical theme, a closer look at Westy reveals,



he is playing a tune on his guitar/driver!

On the course, Doc's Medalist +5 and game high 34 points were only good enough to win the Back and the Rabbit. That's because on this December 9th, remember the date- December 9th, Leroy's team takes top honors. His +3, Scott's +4, and Jeff's +2 along with Scott's CTP ends Leroy's cold spell and lands him in the plus side of the ledger. To celebrate he gifted those who stayed with a hot plate of Kimbeland Chips. Thanks Leroy, may the hot streak be just beginning.

Time is running out for this year's Christmas shopping. Make sure Santa knows what you want.


Speaking of running out of time, it's time for a CTP update. With 15 (by my count) possible days left to play this year, here is where we stand with the top 11.

Glen           14
Raymond   11
Doc            11
Randy        10
Andy          10
Jeff             10
Leroy           9
Clint             8
Westy           7
Tom              6
Scott             6

Staying with CTP as a subject, we gave Doc kudos Monday for winning the CTP in his 3rd straight appearance (Nov 28) though not consecutive with the group. What somehow slipped by was the fact he won again on Wednesday (Nov 30) for his 4th straight win! This was his 2nd consecutive with the group, and we missed that he was going for a Floyd on Dec 1. Alas, like all others before him, he tried valiantly, yet must wait for another chance down the road. Need to come up with a name for the 4 in a row on your own time. Doc slam, PD (personal Doc), DQ (Doc Quad)? Suggestions?

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

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).
