Sunday March 2

 


I am going to limit what I am writing today to things I can be sure to be accurate. Not going to speculate or pass along anything second hand.

I am sure the next week will be a trying time for the group. Since Friday I have heard the words dismayed, confused, bewildered, perspective, perplexity, baffled, and mystified among others. I have used many of those myself. 

Many times, I have used the quote of a 100-year-old man who when asked if he could sum up his 100 years. His simple reply, "I can sum up 'Life' in three words. It.....goes.....on." 

He had witnessed the highest of highs and felt the most devastating of lows, yet the next day everyone goes about their way. Life goes on. We each decide how to handle each day. I am doing this blog today staying in routine as much as possible.

BB's Update

I watched Tom clear out of the Lutheran Home Saturday on his way home. Moving around well and seemingly improving every day. 

Butch is battling the flu, and I checked how he is doing, and his one-word response was, "Better." Hope to see Butch soon.

Friday Golf




Ten players for Rabbit Friday. Rodney improves 11 points from his Wednesday performance to nab today's Medal with a double-jump +6. His team wins the Back 9. John gives the team 2 more victories when his birdie on 5 is the key to winning the Rabbit. He also win's the CTP. Interestingly, John played 53 times in 2024 without ever winning the CTP. This year he does it on his 2nd attempt. 





Jan-Feb Review

Played 12 times the first 2 months of 2025. By the end of February 2024, we had played 26 times.

Raymond leads in the most important net money department with +18 as he has received cash back on all 8 of his appearances. Rodney is next with +11 in only 2 days of play.

Doc is the early CTP leader with 3, Tom and Glen with 2.

Randy, KZ, and Scott each have 2 Medals.

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...

New Years News Bits- Opening Day 2025 We have coverage of the first two days of the new 2025 season along with a look back at 2024. Plenty of pictures from several different contributors of the winter storm to pass your time. Maybe we should throw in a couple bucks and make your prediction of when the next Bud's Boys round will be played. It is good to be back up and running with my new computer. The geek salesman assured me this computer will be much faster. Honestly though, I seem to type just as slow as before. Thursday Lunch Proposal How about we meet again this Thursday (11:00) if there is no golf. We had a good turnout this past week and I propose we do it again this Thursday. Any thoughts welcome, otherwise, pass the word. Thursday Jan 2 Thursday January 2nd was the official start to BB's 2025 season. Doc, Mikey, and Roger squared off against Randy, Glen, and Scott. Scott wins the first Thursday Medalist of the new year, and it leads his team to a FBT sweep. Doc wins the...

Bud's Boys Look Back On 2024 January through June Remember Lunch Every Thursday until Golf Returns! Player of the Year Awarded! To say KZ was surprised is an understatement! 2023 POY Raymond makes the presentation. KZ's resume includes: Money Winner Net Money Winner Most Improved (+4) Medal Leader Thursday Medali$t Leader 20 game winning streak January   Opening Day 2024 was Tuesday the 2nd. Roger wins his second straight CTP but fails to join Butch and Floyd on Wednesday the 3rd. Shelly notches her 3rd career hole-in-one on Jan 11. We had 19-day layoff from the 11th to the 30th, eating was all we had to do. February Rodney wins his first CTP of the season with this gem on #18. Randy gets some revenge on hole #10 by holing out from 150 yards for an eagle on Feb 11. Feb 13th was not a Friday, but it produced a memorable day nonetheless. Known as the scorecard debacle, this story will live on for years to come in BB's lore. It deserves a little space today.  These are the 4 p...
