Bud's Boys Weekend Wrap Up

July is wrapping up, Bingo should be finished this week, Doc comes up short of the Floyd for the second time this month and Roger has an unexpected Colorado experience.  Here is the latest.

Thursday July 25

Relief from the heat gave us a great July day for golf.



KZ (+4) edges Butch (+3) and Glen (+3) to claim Medalist Honors on Medalist Thursday.

KZ, Glen, and Marty (+2) are the only team to finish plus on either side and easily sweep the FBT. Glen's streak at 14.

Scott wins the CTP to prevent the Royal Flush.

Doc went against normal protocol and played in the first group in his attempt to capture the 'Floyd'. He had to get to a Barry Manilow concert in St. Louis, thus the early tee time. His tee shot on 18 had the distance but not the direction, ending up in the fringe and eliminating his chance for fame. Seems the news spread to Barry and he dedicated a song, 'The One That Got Away' to Doc during the concert.


Leroy allowed us no warning of his birthday observance today as he treated the group with food and drink and cookies to take home.



Since we had no warning and were not able to deck out in yellow, here is an old one from the archives.



Bingo Update

Red's knock out 2 more leaving 3 to go.

Whites still stuck in neutral, also with 3.

Blue team showing some concern as hole 16 eludes them still.


Roger's Travel Surprise

While on one of his visits to Colorado, Roger had to have some emergency surgery requiring a 4-day hospital stay (3 days on oxygen). All went well. As I am writing this, he is on I-70 heading for home. No golf for 6 weeks but should be ready for the 'Champion Golfer of the Year' tournament tentatively scheduled for Sept 25, 26. Mark your calendars.

    Have a guaranteed weight loss program low fat, low sugar low fiber and everything else. It is callled Roger ice chips and sips of water diet. That plus antibiotics and saline solution to clean you out. Try that for three days and see if you hangry at the end of three days.

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

 Bud's Boys Count Your Blessings Issue Everyday should be a 'CYB' day but some days you realize it a little more. More on that later. Halloween is coming soon, and we have the Coors golfer haunting our course. Friday Rabbit Chase The greens were fast and furious once more and the total group score of minus 24 reflected as much. Kudos to Doc (+4) and Dean (+3) for shooting on the plus side of their handicap numbers in the tough conditions. Special shout out to Glen and Butch for breaking their streaks of minus golf with a +3 for Butch and a Medalist best +5 for Glen. Butch jarred his birdie putt on hole #9 to catch the Rabbit. Glen wins his 3rd CTP of October. Count your Blessings Indeed Way back in March, the woman I am related to by Marriage, insisted I buy a safer vehicle as my not-so-great driving skills were not going to improve. So, I thought I would treat myself for the first time since the 70's and buy a brand-new vehicle, a truck. As some remember, it only took
