Buds Boys KCC

Bud's Boys Weekend Update A short week of only 3 days of play, but still, plenty of golf to talk about as we have only 1 playing day of April left. Oh, by the way, only 3 days available for play this week so schedule accordingly. Wrap ups of daily play, Match Play update, SEMO Sr. news and more, but first some more photos by our world traveling paparazzo, Doc. Doc is still in France, this time sending us some looks from Normandy. Like many, I have a fascination with the history of WW II. I can only imagine the aura, the haunting yet revered feeling when you realize the magnitude of the events that took place nearly 80 years ago on the ground you are standing on. Can't wait to hear Doc's take. Doc on Omaha Beach. German Bunker The sacrifice of thousands of very young men, staggering to imagine. SEMO Senior News Bud's Boys sent 9 representatives to the first SEMO Seniors event of the year to defend our home turf of KCC. The group performed remarkably well with 6 of the Bo...

 Tom Goes for 3 In a Row on Thursday Tom has won 2 straight CTP's and challenges all comers to stop him Thursday from attaining a 'Floyd'. Rally round BB's. Course is closed Friday, so Thursday is your last chance to play this week. Details from Tuesday through Thursday play later this week. Doc says hello from France.

Bud's Boys April 16 through 19 Report Congrats to our newest KCC board member Raymond aka Randy Balsman. Sad that Bill had to step down, but pleased Raymond will fill his golf shoes and continue to give BB's a presence on the future of the club. Course is closed on Friday so schedule accordingly this week. Recap of the 4 days of play, an excerpt from the unwritten 'Book of Leroy', and a new entry, 'word of the week'. Bud's Boys word of the week is 'patience'. That is the word Mikey used to explain his team's +11 score when compared to the other 4 teams who combined for a minus 46 on Wednesday. "We just took our time", he explained. "We didn't care how far behind we got or how long the people behind us had to wait, we were patient. I think the results speak for themselves." Patience? Taking your time? Now I am not sure about how far back this phenomenon goes, but for this past week, it is a fact. The last group of each day ...

Congrats to our Masters Champ Scott. His card dealing led him to draw Scotty Scheffler as one of his 2 picks. Also, he drew Will Zalatoris, the best '#2 player' as he played the weekend in 3-under. Roger drew Aberg, who tied Scheffler for the best weekend score of -5. He was denied a chance to win, however, when his #2 player, Shipley the amateur, shot 8-over on Saturday. Still, he finished 5 strokes ahead of 3rd place. The streak of the par-3 winner not winning the tournament continues. Glen holds on by a thread to claim 3rd. He was neck and neck with Roger until Cantley played his last 3 holes in 4-over. That stretch by Cantley gave 3 players a real chance to tie Glen. Raymond had the hot Sunday golfer in Tyrell Hatton at 5-under till he bogeyed 17 and 18, leaving Raymond 1 stroke out of the money. It didn't help that his other player bogeyed 16 and 17. Bob had both his golfers (Schauffle and Reed) bogey 18 to lose by 1. Shelly had Morikowa looking at a 6 foot birdie on 1...

John is looking for 3 players at 10:06 Sunday Call John or contact me and I will let him know. We recap Friday play and talk Masters Challenge with the 18 BB's participating in the event. But first, let's start with a Bud's Boys Riddle. Bud's Boys Riddle of the Week In a typical week, most BB's don't do it at all. Less than a handful do it once a week. Very, very rarely does a Bud's Boy do it twice in one week. But when they do you can tell by the smile on their face. If you noticed Shelly smiling it is because she did do it twice this week. Of course, the answer is 'Win the CTP'! (And if she is smiling, I am as well) A big turnout of 19 played on Friday. To go along with the Masters Tournament going on in Augusta, we staged a par-3 contest within our regular game today. Roger came out victorious by playing the 5 par 3 holes in 1-over par in tough, windy conditions. Tom, Clint, and Jeff finished 1 stroke behind. The regular game's winning numbers...

  If you are playing Friday, you can choose to play the Masters Challenge. Your Friday score combined with the scores of 2 professionals competing Saturday and Sunday to determine the Masters Champion. You will also be entered in the par 3 tournament held Friday. Five-dollar entry fee. Be at course early for more details. Thursday golf Cannot believe we had BB's play all 3 days this week. Bright sunshine for most of today's round. Glen's +4 earns the prized Thursday Medal. Shelly wins her 2nd CTP this week.

Masters Update It seems Thursday will probably not be well attended due to weather, so I will see how many Friday players would be interested in the Masters Challenge thus making it a 1-day event (Friday Only). Tuesday Results Tuesday had 12 BB's in action. Mikey saw a lot of the course on his way to a Co-Medalist +3. In the above photo he hits his second shot on 5 from #7 fairway. In the photo below, he tries to show good form while taking a drop on 18. Shelly takes the CTP and teams with Leroy and Allen to win the Back and Total. Dean is the other Co-Medalist (+3) which gives his team the edge on a hotly contested Front 9. His birdie on 17 also wins today's Random Skin. Wednesday attendance was down a little with only 8 playing in iffy conditions. The round was completed with Scott and Roger both firing +6's to tie for Medalist. Mikey earns his 2nd April CTP.  

  A rather short weekend edition today. We will start with a couple of tournament updates. Doc becomes the first finalist in our BB's Matchplay Event. He defeats KZ 5&4 and awaits the winner of Tom and Clint. The weather is putting a cloud over my proposed Masters Tournament Thursday and Friday. As with most things we do we will adjust to the conditions. If Thursday is too 'iffy' of a day and we have a low turnout, it may become a one-day Friday event. Stay tuned. One omission I had about our 1 quarter of the year report was the leading money winners. Scott is on pace to win nearly $1000 as he leads the pack. Scott   $240            Jeff      $222 Randy  $200 Butch   $196 Thursday April 4 Medalist Day saw a shootout between Tom and Randy that was decided by a single stroke. Tom shot one of the best rounds of the year by scoring 38 points. His scorecard showed only one blemish, a 3-putt bogey on 16 to go along...
