Wednesday Card Game

A turnout of 16, our biggest in a couple of weeks, competed in the best weather conditions of late. Action was positive and very tight as usual.




Big shout out to Shelly and Raymond for their co-Medalist rounds of +6. Despite their heroic efforts, neither could pull their team to victory in the FBT contests.

Those wins were claimed by Rick, Clint, and Jeff on the Front and Allen, Dean, and Bob on the Back and Total. All six finished even or better for the round.

Allen also earns the CTP, giving his team 3 of the 5 events.

Card game goes to Raymond, Randy, Doc, and Gary who came up with 2 pair (Aces & Jacks) from their 9 earned cards.






BB's Historian Leroy says we had a new record set today. After a birdie on his first hole and a +2.5 11-point performance on the Front, KZ stumbled a tad on the Back 9. A clutch putt on 18 for bogey upped his point total on the back to, let's double check here, okay, yes, 1 point. This breaks the record Leroy claims was his at 2 points from many moons ago.

What is rather cool about this is KZ's attitude after the round. In true Bud's Boys spirit, he says he is eager to return tomorrow to either play better or beat his new record. He knows participation is the main objective.


Sad news from Florida reported by Floyd today. Seems his golf group had to start out in frigid temperatures of 57 degrees. Sock caps and jackets were necessary. I believe a coat drive by BB's to send to Florida would be a nice charitable gesture.

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).
