Wednesday Card Game

Coming this weekend. 'Build Your Own Golf Course!'



An 'even' number of 9 players (that's BB's lingo) played through today's wind advisory. Constant 20-25 mph winds with occasional 40+ gusts kept things interesting. The best example was Rick's approach on 16 that stayed on the right upper level of the green, 20 feet below the cup, for nearly 4 minutes while he walked up to the green. Right before he marked his ball, a strong gust rolled his ball backward until it rolled off the front of the green. His bogey did not mar his +3 performance, however. In fact, scoring was much improved over the lesser Tuesday conditions. Figure that out.

Glen wins his 5th CTP.

Stop me if you have heard this before department: Two-Card KZ strikes again!

KZ's team only earned 5 cards to challenge a 7-card team and a 6-card team. KZ hit a pair of sixes with only 2 turns of the cards. He proceeded to watch the 6-card team manage only a King high while the 7-card team maxed out with only Ace high. As Leroy might ask, "How does he do that?"

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.

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...
