Wednesday July 10

Bwana Butch Back with Bud's Boys

Butch, the official BB's ambassador to Africa, made his return to more familiar ground today as he teed it up for the first time since June 13.


Many stories to come from the daring adventurer. The first thing Butch wants to share is a change in schedule.

Butch Fest will be moved from the July 27 Date

Due to timing and schedule issues, Butch Fest will be moved to the Fall. All details will be released when available.

One rumor making the rounds is that it will take a little longer to process the meat for Butch's Hippo potta- roast and Rhino sausage.

Wednesday Play

The course was the big winner today. I suppose BB's need their roll out, but the soft conditions would have none of that. The first 4 teams to finish combined for a rather embarrassing -47. The team of Raymond, Doc, and Val, however, figured things out well enough to win the Front by 9 shots and the Total by 12. They slipped up a bit to lose the Back to Shelly, Scott, and an astonished Mikey (never give up Mikey!) by 1 little stroke. 




KZ turns a pair of sixes to win the Card Game.

Doc's Attempt for the Floyd

Floyd and Butch both showed up today to help ensure that Doc would not be joining their elite status of 3 consecutive CTP's. Doc arrived at the 18th tee in the customary last group of the day to let everyone see if he could complete his quest. He wasted no time, leaving his teammates still choosing their clubs while he confidently strode to the white markers. At first glance his shot seemed to be heading too far to the right. His usual draw kicked in, however, and suddenly the ball was rolling straight at the pin. Alas, the ball ran out of steam, coming up just a few feet outside Randy's previously placed shot. Another worthy attempt falls short.



Butch describes his escape from a charging Rhino to Shelly. As Butch tells it, he ran to a tree with a low hanging branch. He could feel the Rhino's breath on his neck when he made a mighty leap to secure a hold of the branch. Though shocked when he failed to grab the branch, Butch kept his cool and caught it on his way back down.





 Bingo Update

Rodney (7) and KZ (4) push White team to 10, Raymond clears #5 for Blue team (9 total) and Doc moves Red to 8 total with 3 & 7.

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

  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

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.
