Bud's Boys News

Is the weather responsible for this sudden rash of never seen before BB's golf accomplishments? There is a short recap of Monday's action, but we are going to start with the happenings of Tuesday.

The weather did not seem to invite good scoring as the 20mph winds never abated. In fact, our Monday Medalist Jeff backed out of playing because he thought the wind was too strong (Wah). I suspect the 80-degree temps must have been the equalizer as the day ended with new record scoring.

I flipped back through my old notebooks all the way to November of 2021. Anything before that was hard to comprehend as I hadn't yet settled on a simple to read format. Anyway, here are some numbers I found.

On 12/31/2021 the team of Tom (+5), Gary (even), Josh (+8), and Allen (+10) rang up a +23 score, the highest score I could find. On 5/31/2022 Tom +5, Dean +9, Rick +3, and Dennis Bucher +5 came close with +22.

As far as 3-person teams go, the best I found were a pair of +18's. Mikey +6, Leroy +8, and Doc +4 scored +18 on 11/17/2021. This was matched by Andy +6, Doc +8, and Roger +4 in March of 2022.

The best score for 9 holes I could find was +13.5, accomplished twice. The 3-person team of Allen, Rodney, and Brandon last year and the 4-person team of Randy, Rodney, Leroy, and KZ some time before that.

Throw all that out the window. The high winds couldn't deter the 23 birdies holed and a group score of +20. The eye-opening scorecard however, belonged to Tom, KZ, and Bob.



A record +25 was recorded by the Trio as Tom's respectable +6 was the lowest score. Bob chipped in with his +8 and KZ wore the Medalist of the day honor with a +11.


They also smashed the 9-hole record with a +15 1/2 on the Back. I think it is safe to say that their 23-point margin of victory over their closest pursuers is also a record.

You never know what you will miss when you choose not to play.

Oh, by the way, Roger's birdie on 4 wins the Skin and Randy wins the CTP.

Rick shoots a stellar +7 but was Ruppeled by his teammates (Clint being one).

Leroy's Kentucky shirt was lucky as his Wildcats edged Mississippi ST on Tuesday.

Jeff 's +8 is top score of the day and his birdie on 6 wins the Reverse Rabbit. Marty steals the CTP in the last group.

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
