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.

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 Boys bringing home prize money.

Glen and Dean take First and Second respectively in Super Senior Group 1 by shooting the only even par rounds turned in by the entire field. Glen gets $65 and Dean $55 for their efforts.

Bob takes 6th in that same flight to claim $15.

Leroy and Allen go 3rd and 4th in Super Senior Group 2, good for $45 and $35.

Randy wins 1st in Older Group 1 for $65.

Bill gets big Kudos for running a great tournament. You would appreciate this a lot more if you got a good look at what he has to deal with.


Tuesday April 23

The finals of the match play tournament are set as the last semi-final was completed today. Doc will face Clint in the final after Clint edges Tom in a terrific one on one match today. Both players had their 'A' game going as Clint finished the day at +5 and Tom at +4. It came down to hole #18 when Clint faced a 25-footer to win the match. A 2-putt would send the match to a sudden death playoff. Not wanting to go any further, Clint drained the putt, setting up his confrontation with the Doc.

In regular play, KZ earns Medalist with a +6, leading Tom and Mikey to victories on the Back and the Total.

Tom gets some consolation by winning the CTP and the Random Skin with his birdie on #13.

There may have been a new record of futility as one unnamed team shot a -23 to lose by 33 strokes.


Weds 4/24

Thirteen showed on Card Day. Scott and Leroy were sharp as their +5's tied for Medalist. Scott's teammate Raymond was right there with a +4, giving them the Back and Total and enough cards to take the Card Game.

Leroy settles for victory on the Front.

Tom sets up an exciting Thursday by winning his 2nd consecutive CTP. He goes for the Floyd tomorrow.


Thursday 4/25

Tom sends his tee shot on #18 straight at the pin in his attempt to reach BB's immortality. Unfortunately, the ball sails an extra club over the red flag. Probably the adrenaline. He had an extremely tough task as Glen had already placed his tee shot in the 18–24-inch range to win the CTP.

Glen shoots a 1-under par 70 to edge KZ for Thursday Medalist honors with a +7 in addition to his CTP victory. Brandon shows well with a +5.

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

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.

Par 3 winners today #4 Westy #6 Butch #8 Tom #18 Bob Players compare scores post round Jeff predicts who will win on Friday Scoreboard Thursday Friday-Tournament Conclusion The group came out in patriotic red, white, and blue to support our Ryder Cup team (they needed considerably more than that it turned out).
