Sunday Sept. 3

Labor Day Weekend Edition


The sun has set on yet another month, as August is already gone. 2023 is officially 2/3 complete.

Today's read includes the results from Weds. and Thurs., along with a review of August in BB's World and a contributing piece from an anonymous source.

We will start, however, with what's coming up this week.

All tee times start at 9:50

SEMO SRs. has a 2-day event on Weds. and Thurs. in Dexter. Raymond, Glen, Randy, Leroy, Gary, Marty, Clint, and Gerald will be participating in said event, so good luck to all of them. The regular BB's games will be played as usual on those days, so let's have a good turnout this week.

Also, good luck to Rick, Raymond, Randy, Tom, Gary, Gerald, Clint, and Glen as they represent Bud's Boys in the Kimbeland Senior Club Championship this coming Saturday and Sunday. 

Wednesday 8/30

Wacky Wednesday worked out exactly that way. The last place team points wise earned enough cards to win the Card game, breaking them even on the day.
 
Brian takes his 2nd CTP of the season for his team's only victory.

Clint and Rodney are Co-Medalists at +7. By the way, in case you didn't read Tuesdays blog post, Rodney won the CTP on Tuesday.


Just making sure he gets due credit.

Gerald's +6 smokes the competition, leading his team to Front and Total victories, and a Split on the Back.






Thursday 8/31



Our last day of August went out with a bang. We tried something new today and the Boy's really went all out.

We always recognize the day's top golfer (The Medalist) each column though that is all they win, recognition. Today we designated Thursday as Medalist Day, and the winner of the day wins for his team, exactly like the CTP winner does for his team.

Naturally, everyone wanted to be the first to claim the prize.

Raymond, Keith, and Floyd thought they had a chance with +3. Sorry.

Jeff, Bob, and Westy liked their chances with +4's. Nope.

Surely, Marty and Brian coming in at +5 would be good enough. Not so fast.

Rodney finishes at +6 to claim the first..., wait. What? Allen?

Allen (+8) is our first official 'Medalist' with a paycheck.

He also won his first CTP of the year to cap off quite a day.


Our BB's budget is a little strapped, so the medal isn't quite what we wanted, but it is, of course, like a very small diamond in a ring. It's the thought that counts.


The Medalist chase brought out the best in the group today. A big total of 32 birdies were jarred on the day. Westy set the pace with 5 on the day. Randy had 4 on the front 9, while Rodney had 3 straight on 12, 13, and 14.





August Review

August had the hottest week of the year, so hot we played only one 18-hole round and a couple 10-hole events in trying to be cautious. The last week of the month, however, was one of the best weeks weather wise and it showed with big turnouts each day.

The end result was 15 days played, a total of 28 different players completing 203 rounds, almost 14 a day average.

Doc wins 3 CTP's to get back in the yearly race.

Money-wise, Randy and Westy must have had the best teammates this month while Bob and Scott obviously had the worst. Show the latter 2 a little love if you could.

Don't know about you, but I've had my fill of August!



CTP Race

Glen         12
Tom          11
Raymond 10
Doc            8
Bob            8
Jeff             7

    I like pic of Leroy and Jeff where Jeff says" not as big as I thought you know if you leave your shirt tail out you're belly will look smaller".

Bud's Boys Look Back On 2024 January through June Remember Lunch Every Thursday until Golf Returns! Player of the Year Awarded! To say KZ was surprised is an understatement! 2023 POY Raymond makes the presentation. KZ's resume includes: Money Winner Net Money Winner Most Improved (+4) Medal Leader Thursday Medali$t Leader 20 game winning streak January   Opening Day 2024 was Tuesday the 2nd. Roger wins his second straight CTP but fails to join Butch and Floyd on Wednesday the 3rd. Shelly notches her 3rd career hole-in-one on Jan 11. We had 19-day layoff from the 11th to the 30th, eating was all we had to do. February Rodney wins his first CTP of the season with this gem on #18. Randy gets some revenge on hole #10 by holing out from 150 yards for an eagle on Feb 11. Feb 13th was not a Friday, but it produced a memorable day nonetheless. Known as the scorecard debacle, this story will live on for years to come in BB's lore. It deserves a little space today.  These are the 4 p...

New Years News Bits- Opening Day 2025 We have coverage of the first two days of the new 2025 season along with a look back at 2024. Plenty of pictures from several different contributors of the winter storm to pass your time. Maybe we should throw in a couple bucks and make your prediction of when the next Bud's Boys round will be played. It is good to be back up and running with my new computer. The geek salesman assured me this computer will be much faster. Honestly though, I seem to type just as slow as before. Thursday Lunch Proposal How about we meet again this Thursday (11:00) if there is no golf. We had a good turnout this past week and I propose we do it again this Thursday. Any thoughts welcome, otherwise, pass the word. Thursday Jan 2 Thursday January 2nd was the official start to BB's 2025 season. Doc, Mikey, and Roger squared off against Randy, Glen, and Scott. Scott wins the first Thursday Medalist of the new year, and it leads his team to a FBT sweep. Doc wins the...

 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 ...
