Fun With Numbers

In friendly conversation the subject of Bud's Boys dues has been brought up a few times. What would be the first thing you would say if I told you your BB's dues for 2024 would be $850.00? Hold on Sparky, keep your cool and let me show you the numbers.

If Scott plays a similar number of rounds next year, he will total about 170 rounds. At $5 a pop (our daily dues) that comes to $850. If he finishes the year (like 90% of the group) between $40 up or $40 down, he will win or lose less than a quarter a day. Either way, what a value for $850.

Someone like Roger who will play around 100 rounds, would pay $500 in 'Dues', and get back between $460 and $540 or plus or minus 40 cents per day.

In theory, the more you play the less you win or lose per round, but luck always plays a role. As the saying goes, however, you can't win if you don't play (and I don't mean money necessarily).

St. Pat's Day Sunday 3/17

Image
  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 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). Front 9 Another great weather day and plenty of optimism as tee time neared. Several players scorched the Front 9 in an attempt to catch up. Hottest start to the rou
