Monday April 1st

 

Hope everyone had a happy Easter and can make it through April Fool's Day. A whole bunch of things to get to including results from Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. March review, Matchplay results, Bracket Challenge update, Masters event and more. But let's start with a few words about Tuesday night.

Doc took the time to find a place for us to gather in a private area to just enjoy a meal surrounded by our fellow BB's and our better halves. Thanks Olive Garden for good food and good service. We will do it again.

Tuesday 3/26

Big winds and bad scoring. Raymond and Scott tie for Medalist with scores of Even. No one was plus today.

Gary wins his first CTP of the year to prevent Raymond, Glen, Scott, and Roger from the Royal Flush. The competition was so bad that they won the total with -9 and the random skin with a par on 1. Enough said.

Wednesday 3/27

This may have been the first time we had 7 teams as we divided the 21 players as such. Pace of play was excellent.

Glen's +4 and 33 points were both top marks.

Delbert wins CTP on his season debut.

Raymond, Dean, and Gary earn enough cards to fill in a straight to win the Card Game.

Friday 3/29

A Royal Flush for Mikey (Medalist +7), Roger (CTP), Scott, and Rodney as they sweep FBT and catch the Rabbit.

Match Play

The NCAA has UConn, Purdue, Alabama, and NC State in the Final Four.

Bud's Boys has KZ vs. Doc and Tom vs. Clint. Tom eliminated Roger, Clint took out Rick, KZ showed Allen the exit and Doc outlasted Raymond. 

Bracket Challenge

Raymond correctly picked 7 of the 8 opening round matches to take the lead, with Mikey, Tom, Keith, Clint and Roger closest with 5. The second round had only Tom and Mikey with 2 correct picks putting them 1 behind Raymond. This leaves these 3 as the only possible winners. If Tom loses to Clint, Raymond is the winner of the Bracket Challenge. If Tom wins his next 2, he and Mikey will tie as the winners. If Tom defeats Clint but loses the final, it is a 3-way tie. A tie breaker would be needed.

Masters Event

If you want to enhance your viewing of the Masters the weekend of the 13th and 14th, you need to participate in our own 'Masters Event'. We will use your scores on Thurs. and Fri. (11th,12th) and combine them with the Sat., Sun. scores of 2 Pros you will be paired with. Just another way to take advantage of BB's competitive spirit. Details forthcoming. If you can't play both Thursday and Friday, find someone to play the day you are unavailable and you can play as a team. 

March Review

Leroy is the only player with 2 Thursday Medals, the one's that really count.

Scott will be gone this week so I would welcome some help with team drawing. A deck of cards is the most important qualification.
