St. Patrick's Eve Edition


Interestingly, 13 BB's played the day before the luck o' the Irish holiday. Unlucky for the 4 players in the last group, they only made it to 17 before a downpour forced them to wait it out in their carts till the rain lightened up enough for them to finish, while the other 9 players observed from the dry warmth of the clubhouse. The bad news was that all 4 were thoroughly soaked. The good news is that we found Waldo!


It was another spread the wealth day as all 4 teams won something.

Glen's Medalist +4 and 34 points leads team to Front and Total.

Roger's CTP at least allows the last group to end on a high note.

The longest running Rabbit in our history is captured by Leroy's birdie on 17.

Another likely record streak was stopped today when Butch's hcp number did not go up. Credit where credit is due, he had moved up the last SIX TIMES HE HAD PLAYED! I doubt that has ever happened before. For the sake of the rest of the group, we hope he is back to normal.

Birdie Bingo Update

We are up to 14 paid entrants but we need more players. Let me know if you are interested.

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

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

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.
