Buds Boys KCC

 Merry Christmas and a Happy Hole-in-one. It was for John as he holed out on #12 while getting through the weather with Glen and Raymond last Monday. A very nice Christmas present for John. He joins Scott and Shelly (and anyone I have forgotten) as BB's with 2024 aces. Bud's Boys News Tid Bits Doc presented Dusty and the grounds crew with our Mulligan Fund plus the extra individual donations by the group shortly before Christmas. Doc says Dusty wants BB's to know how appreciative the crew are for our generous consideration. The last 2 official rounds we have played were Friday the 13th and Thursday the 19th. Glen won both of those CTP's so whenever we get to play again, he will be going for the Floyd.  About playing again, tomorrow (Monday 12/30) would be an 11:00 tee time as usual. There are no official tee times again until Friday January 3rd when our official tee times start at 9:58. Tuesday through Thursday is open play so I suppose we will gather at the normal time...

 Bud's Boys Noel Nuggets A short read so you can get back to baking, wrapping, decorating, and balancing the checkbook. Box score from our only day of play this week and a Holiday Gift from Doc, our own Poet Laureate. Watched Bernhard Langer and his son win today's Golf Tourney in a Sudden Death playoff. Can't remember the team they beat. Thursday 12/19 Shelly and Butch Win 3 1/2 of today's 5 events. Shelly easily wins Medalist Honors at +4 and they earn the Front and Total to go with a tie on the Back 9. Glen wins the CTP for his team while his partners overindulge the holiday egg nog.  Christmas Cheer from Doc

BB's Winter Wonderings BB's Flash Update At today's Kimbeland Christmas party one of the 3 BB's above won the $500 raffle off 2025 dues. Good thing it was the one who really needs it.  Congrats Doc, although Jeff tried to donate it back. We are down to the last few playing days of 2024. Weather not looking promising this coming week so get out while you can. I have a couple of box scores from Thursday and Friday and a letter to Santa for your holiday reading. Thursday Dec 12 Medalist Day was a 2-person race as only KZ and Butch were able to maintain a score in the plus column. They tie for Medalist honors with a +4 score, 4 better than the next closest pursuer. A total of 253 points were scored today yet the 3 team scores were separated by one single digit. I am sure nobody can think of a single short putt that didn't go in, am I right? Jeff wins the CTP. Friday December 13 Friday the 13th was unlucky for 11 of the 12 golfers today. Doc was the only plus player on t...

Doc Meets Tiger in Orlando Plus Tuesday Box Score Today's golf wrap plus Doc's chance encounter with Tiger on his last day in Orlando. Rick, Roger, and Randy tie for Medalist at +3. As they are teammates, Rick and Roger's team fittingly wins Front and Total while Randy's team wins the Back 9 with a boost from Tom's eagle on 13. Brandon's birdie on 15 wins the Random Skin. Raymond is so dialed in he can hear Tokyo as he wins the CTP for the 4th time in his last 5 appearances. Doc's last day in Florida  

  Raymond is thwarted in his Floyd quest by Gary's tee shot to about 4 inches on 18. Monday Box Score

 Raymond Floyd Alert? Golf was played today, first match in exactly 1 week, as 9 BB's bundled up and challenged the windy conditions. The big story is Raymond winning his 2nd consecutive CTP and 3rd in the last 4 official rounds. As he didn't participate in the round he didn't win, he has equaled Doc in the 3 consecutive CTP's when I show up category. Check with your local weather forecaster to find out when Raymond will go for the Floyd.  Speaking of Raymond, he and Mikey got some golf in before the snow on Monday. Tuesday closing understandable.
