Bud's Boys Weekend Wrap

Friday June 7

The Boys ended the week with an 11-man event with 'The Rabbit' as the Play of the Day.

Allen predicted a sweep for his team in an effort to stop KZ's incredible streak.


Allen's teammate Raymond did his part (Co-Medalist +3) but his par on 14 to snare a limping Rabbit was the only victory for the team.

KZ gave his opponents a chance with an unusual -4 performance, but teammates Leroy (+1) and Shelly (Co-Medalist +3) picked up the slack to win the Front and Total outright and a half share of the Back to stretch the streak to 18.

Gerald stuck the CTP on 18 to give each team a slice of the money.

Everyone's a winner!


With sadness I report the loss of Doc's, in his words, "amazing big sister." Tough times for Doc's family right now.

Add to that some news I just heard concerning the loss of a member of the group that tees off in front of us and it tells me it may be time for a reminder. 

Nothing we don't already know or haven't read here several times previously but here is the reminder.

Every day we play is a privilege.

Every one of us has things going on outside of the course that can weigh on the mind. Treat others like you would like to be.

Do your best not to let bad play, or more accurately your reaction to bad play, lessen the enjoyment of those around you. 

Likewise, be courteous to your foursome in regard to etiquette and any general other common sense situations.

Something I just read may fit as well. It goes something like this.

"Unfortunately, people seem to listen these days not to understand, but to reply." 

After watching some Kimbeland doings outside of our group recently, I think this is great advice to be more understanding.

Remember Floyd's Fish Fry is coming up soon (June 22). Let's start practicing our good behavior.

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

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. 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).
