Sunday Feb 18

Thursday Feb 15 

We had 14 BB's play a post Valentine Day round. Play of the Day was Medalist Thursday. This was unfortunate for Doc, Scott, and Butch who were thinking one day ahead to Rabbit Friday.




 Their multiple birdies, including 9,10, and 11, gave them a feeling of great confidence until the realization of the actual day's event hit home.



It was Thursday, not Friday.

Bob did know what day it was. His +7-performance wins Medalist, 4 points clear of his nearest competition. His back-to-back birdies on 15 and 16 led him to 17 points on the Back 9.

Randy wins CTP to aid Bob, Clint, and Gerald in winning 4 of today's events.

An eagle on 13 by Tom and Shelly's birdie on 15 carries their team to +5 on the Back to prevent the clean sweep.

Jeff's win streak comes to an end today. He did tie Tom and Butch for longest streak of the year so far with 8. I had mistakenly (nothing new there) had him at 7 in a previous post.


Random Thoughts

A sportswriter once mentioned that even though thousands of baseball games have been played through the years, every time you go to a game you have a chance to see something never done before.

Now our humble little group has not played thousands of games yet, but on Tuesday we did have something done never before seen.



The group of Rick, Allen, Dean, and Butch played 18 holes, put away their gear and sat on the patio deck for several minutes watching other groups finish.



At this point we gather to compare scores to determine the winners. This is as near as I can remember to what happened next.

"Rick, do you have your team's scorecard ?"


"I think Allen has it."

"Allen, do you have the scorecard?"


"Me? No, Dean kept score. He is coming up the ramp now."

"Dean, can you give me your scores?"



"I thought Allen kept score."

"Butch, did you happen to keep score?"


So, there you have it. Nobody in the group kept score. This begs a few questions.
Did no one ever ask how the team was doing?
Did no one ask how many points they had during the round?
As you walked off the green, did you tell anyone what you scored.
This seems beyond belief in many ways and brings some images to mind.



Once more, no one questioned the score in any manner for 18 holes?



On the other hand, if everyone did everything correctly each day, what fun would that be. No one is perfect after all. 

See you all next week!

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.
