Bud's Boys Weekend News & Report 

This is what Bud's Boys is all about.


Relaxing after another great round with our beautiful course in the background. Nice Pic, Doc.

BB's News


Let's keep Bill in our thoughts as he is dealing with some health issues. Doc is keeping abreast of the situation.

Upcoming BB's Activity

Looks like we will begin Bingo III sometime this month, as soon as we have 18 signed up. Let me know if you want in.

October will be the big 'Champion Golfer of the Year' tournament, so I am thinking of a September event to bridge the gap between those 2 events.

Perhaps a Ryder Cup type event to coincide with the real one being contested next month in Italy. Any thoughts or ideas will be strongly considered by the secret activity committee.

Thursday Play





After yet another rainout Wednesday, 15 BB's clocked in for work on a cart path only day. A Thursday edition of Wacky Weds. produced just that, a very wacky card game. All 52 cards were earned by the 5 teams, ensuring that a big hand would be needed to win.

Sure enough, Floyd turned an Ace on his last of his 13 cards to outlast 2 Flushes and a smaller Full-House with a Kings over Aces Full-House for Doc, Raymond, and himself.

Allen, Leroy, and John score a big majority of their points today on the Front, winning with a +8.

Butch caps a big Back 9 with the CTP on 18 (last player to hit, of course). His score along with Randy's Medalist +8 and Bob's +3 win Back and Total gives them 3 of the 5 events.

Randy shoots his age for the first time (67) beating Andy's prediction by 11 years.









Bud's Boys Etiquette Suggestions

1. No hand holding on the tee box. Some consider it distracting!


2. When someone passes wind, no need to embarrass him by pointing  him out. People will know when to move away.


3. Be a good sport when paying off your side-bets. Poor sportsmanship is a bad look.

Friday Results

Rick wins the CTP (2nd last player this time) by nearly holing the first Ace of his career. A crisp iron past the hole that spun back, just missing the cup.

Allen, Clint, and Butch win the Front by a mere 1/2 point. Is every little putt important or what?

Tom, Randy, and Doc take the Back and Total with the help of hole 16. Tom hits in tight for a tap in birdie and Randy holes his wedge from about 90 yds for a 5-point eagle.

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

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).
