Bud's Boys 2024 Season in Full Swing




The first week of 2024 is in the books as 16 Bud's Boys

 (Saw Bud this weekend. He is growing sideburns to celebrate his recent 80th birthday.)



participated in the 4 days played. Rough and raw conditions held the numbers down on 3 days but couldn't keep the boys from getting their golf itch scratched. Wednesday brought out a week high of 14 to take advantage of a very pleasant January morning and afternoon.

Roger and Glen made it to all 4 sessions with several making 3 appearances.

Butch takes the early money lead by winning $26 in his 3 days of play. Speaking of Butch, he would like you to remind him to close his truck door.


 You never know who might look inside. Also, if he takes off his jacket during the round, remind him where he left it.


Thursday Results

I will continue to recognize the Medalist after each day of play. However, since Thursday is 'Medalist Day' and you actually get paid for it, you will be the 'Medali$t'. Another stat to track.

Nine players teed off but before the first swing we had our first trade of the season. Scott traded away Butch for Jeff in hopes Jeff could vie for Medali$t honors. He played well but not well enough. Butch, on the other hand, flourished with his new team and they won the Front and Total.


Butch gives congrats to Glen on his near eagle on 7.

Randy wins the inaugural Medali$t with the help of 5 Back 9 birdies. He also claims his first CTP of 2024.



Friday Results

Raymond takes advantage of his cold weather play experience to blitz the field. He wins Medalist by 7 strokes on a chilly Friday leading the 'Perryville Gang' to 4 of 5 victories.

Jeff wins CTP to prevent the complete sweep.

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.
