Sunday June 18th

 


Happy Father's Day to all. Time to clean up the rest of this week's action.

Wednesday June 14


Jeff and Randy celebrate their 67th birthday.

Nineteen BB's joined the party, enjoying friendship, drinks, Kimbeland chips, cookies, but mostly the pasta salad made by Jeff's wife Sarah.

There was also golf played. Though no one claimed the bonus prize of $20 for birdies on 6 & 7 (67, get it?), there were 23 birdies holed on the day.

Medalist Westy (+8) joined Glen and Randy, leading the birdie barrage with 3 each. Glen's birdie on 18 was close enough to win his 2nd CTP of June.

Raymond, Doc, KZ, and Allen each contributed to their 5 birdies on the inward side, good for a winning Back +7.5 and +10 Total. They also accumulated enough cards to flush the competition (diamonds I believe) in the Card Game.

The birthday boys, along with Leroy, used all their good shots on the Front, winning with a +8.5 score. (A full 15 strokes better than their score on the back 9)





Thursday June 15

A light turnout of 12 participated in a Thursday edition of Rabbit Friday.

Medalist Bob (+6) leads Glen and Floyd to a win on the Front, and also claims the CTP, making them a double winner.

Also double-dipping were Doc, Allen, and Brandon. All 3 finished on the plus side for the day, earning Back and Total victories.




Tom's birdie on 7 holds up for the Rabbit for his team.

Bingo II Update

I know that every April when the Masters Tournament rolls around and the Champions dinner is held, Scott Hoch knows he should be there. In 1989, he just had to 2-putt to win the Masters. His first putt ran 2 feet past the hole. A 2-footer to win the Masters.



He missed, of course, and Faldo won on the next hole.

Now I know we are not talking the same level, but when yours truly missed a 3-footer on 16 Thursday, it ruined my day and probably the next.

Had that putt gone in, I'm sure most will agree that it was a certainty that with such confidence I would easily have birdied 18 and closed out the Bingo.

Alas, unless my teammates can rally next week and win, I will feel like the Scott Hoch of Bingo for the rest of my life (Or until Bingo III starts).

Glen's birdie on 9 on Wednesday was the only good birdie for the 2 days. For the first time (day 10), no team crossed out a hole. Surely, we will have a winner next week.

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).
