Happy 75th Birthday Doc!

Doc's BD Party and Thurs-Fri Tourney Info this Edition.


Doc celebrates his 75th with a theme party. Today's Theme was 'All Bud's Boys are Winners'!

That wad of cash Doc is waving was him paying everyone's entry fee today, indeed making all players today 'Winners'. Not only that, but there were also on course prizes as well.

In the regular game, 3 teams split the money.

Shelly (+4), Leroy (+4), and Butch win the Front and tie for the Total.

Floyd captures CTP for teammates Tom and Randy, they also finish in a tie for the Back.

Glen's Medalist +6 (and game high 38 points) leads mates KZ and Bob to ties on the Back and Total.

In the Bonus Birthday prizes, the following each won a sleeve of golf balls from Doc's goody bag.

Scott CTP #4

Randy CTP #6

Butch CTP #8

Floyd CTP #18

Glen Medalist +6

Dean won an undisclosed prize in the 'Chugging' contest.


Doc also provided snacks and drinks for the Boys in a most generous show of his appreciation for being a part of Bud's Boys. More than anyone else, Doc truly 'gets' what our group strives to be. What a great day.

It should be noted that Doc blames his uncharacteristic score today on way too much cake Monday night than his trim figure could handle. Raymond blames his on 'car lag', driving back from Texas.

Bud's Boys Tip of the Day

Today's tip is very simple. 'Do not rush a short putt.'

We have all done it, in many forms and fashions, and carelessly missed.
But what's the big deal? It's only 1 stroke difference.

Ah, but what about your teammates? Let me use today as an example.

Let's say Butch has a short putt on 18, but he is in a hurry (to catch the bus, perhaps) and doesn't take his time on a very short par putt, causing him to miss. How bad could it hurt, anyway?

Well, if you lost the Back 9 by a 1/2 point, that could hurt. And if that putt had gone in you would have also won the Total instead of a tie, that could hurt. In fact, that short putt could cost your team an extra $27 today.

So, think of your teammates, don't rush a short putt.


Champion Golfer of the Year Tournament

Thanks to Scott for designing a year end tournament that gives everyone several ways to win something. Here are the basics, based on the 22 players already signed up (Let me know if you are joining us). This is what you get for a $10 entry fee. (Also, we are playing regular game both days for those who can't play both days)


Your handicap for the tournament is determined by an average of 5 scores, a throwback to our old system. Here are your scores and dates used. Your number for Round 1 (Thursday) is the last column below.

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.
