Buds Boys KCC

 The Week So Far We have played 3 days so far this week. Tuesday had 16 players, Weds had 14 and Thursday had 15. Scoring is up with the winning teams posting +15, +8, and +11 Totals. I will post scorecards and details this weekend. Bingo Update After a month of play, the Bingo Game could now end any day with 2 teams on the cusp of victory.   Glen takes down another hole today (#2) leaving the Greens with only #11 and #14. Blue Team scratches off #16, their first good birdie in a week. They only lack #5 and #17. It's been 2 weeks since the Red Team has tallied a needed birdie. They still need 6 holes. 

 What's Up with the Boys Winding down the month of May, we have played 11 rounds with 4 possible dates before June arrives. Friday Results We can be a quite contrary group at times. This past week being a good example. Wednesday was a scoring nightmare as the 23 players combined for a minus 41 total. Thursday was a calm day, only minus 3 total for the 16 players. Three of the 5 teams shot even or near even. Friday brought out a whole different level of play.  An 85-point difference in fact from Wednesday.  Friday's collection of ball strikers finished with a total of +44. Randy Medals with a +8 which included 4 straight birdies on the Back 9.  Roger and Floyd checked in at +7 and Butch also double jumped with his +6. Rodney and Leroy at +5 and Don and Glen at +4 earn honorable mentions. 'Bad Beat' is a Poker term that means having a great hand only to be bested by a more spectacular one. Today was that way for 3 teams. A +8 Back 9 and +10 Total seemed a sure winner b...

 Results from Wednesday and Thursday Big crowd for Wednesday Card Game. Randy is Medalist at +5 and with Doc, Ron, and Jeff win the Back 9 and Total. Tom, Scott, and Shelly win the Front 9 and take the Card Game with a heart flush even though they earned 2 less cards than the leading team. Butch wins his 4th CTP of the season. For the 2nd time in less than a week, he beats Jeff's 2nd place effort. He would like to pass on how guilty he feels about doing that to Jeff. Consider it done. Thursday Don H makes his first BB's appearance with a bang. He ties for Medalist honors on Medalist Thursday, wins his first CTP, and sweeps the FBT. He also moves to the top of the 'Your turn to Buy' list. Keith and Floyd also turn in +4's to claim part of Medalist money. Also noteworthy were the bounce back days for Jeff and Clint. Jeff improves his score by 10 from yesterday while Clint jumps a whopping 15. Never give up. Health Update Doc wishes to pass along this note of his perso...

 Review of Thursday Friday Play Thursday Medalist Day Hotly contested race for Medalist as 6 BB's finished within 1 stroke of each other. Floyd, Keith, Wilhelm, and Clint tie for first with +4's. KZ and Bill were 1 behind at +3. Allen, Keith, and Wilhelm win the Front 9 with a +3.5. Bill, KZ, and Floyd take the Back 9 and Total with scores of +7.5 and +10 respectively. Bill wins his first CTP. Friday Rabbit Day Somewhat small group of 10 gathered to chase the Rabbit.  Doc, Wilhelm, and Butch posted game high +5's to share Medalist honors. KZ, Doc, and Wayne win 4 and a half of today's 5 events. Doc claims the CTP, his 7th this year. They snare the Rabbit when Doc birdies #7 and KZ and Wayne both birdie #8. KZ's Week Maybe Scottie Scheffler was the only golfer who had a better week than our KZ.  KZ started the week with a big win at his Monday card game, and it carried over into his golf. We actually got to play all 4 days this week, a rarity this year, which means t...

 Wednesday Card Game Twenty-three players today so I will give the highlights. Might make a scorecard over the weekend. Ron is today's Medalist with a +4. He leads KZ, Tom, and Shelly to a FBT sweep. They earn 12 cards to allow KZ to best Scott's Spade flush with a full house. The 4 victories gives the foursome $92 to split. Butch wins his 3rd CTP to prevent the Royal Flush. By the way, Butch wants you to know he beat Jeff's shot to win. Bingo Update Each team picked up 1 hole today. Green needs 2,5,9,11,14 Blue needs 5,7,9,11,16,17 Red needs 1,5,6,9,10,14,15

Tuesday Wrap Up and Scorecard plus Bingo News Random skin day found 14 BB's geared up for some friendly competition. Tom's double jump +6 would normally take Medalist honors, but his teammate KZ earned his 9th Medal of the season with a +9, 7 of those coming on the Back 9. Add Glen's +1 and the 3 easily sweep the FBT. Randy wins the CTP, and the subsequent birdie putt also wins the Random Skin. Bingo Update Green Team knocks out 3 holes on Tuesday to maintain the lead with 12. Glen covered 7 and 8 while Rick punched out 15. Only 6 holes remain. Blue Team takes over 2nd place with 11 holes covered. An incorrect entry in the last blog has been corrected. KZ birdies 15 while Randy gets 3 and 18 on Tuesday.  The early leading Red Team sits at 10, only 2 back. Holes 4,8,12,13, and 18 have been covered by every team.  Holes 5 and 9 are the only 2 holes left yet to be birdied.

 Bud's Boys Monday Gazette Sad news to pass along. Keith's younger brother has passed away, so sorry to hear. Tee Times: Tuesday 9:42  We usually have our biggest crowd on Tuesday, so we have an extra tee time thus the earlier start. Wednesday through Friday 9:50 Friday Results  We now have a standard for handicap adjustment after medical leave. Tom last played on February 5th with a handicap of 31. He returned Friday and recorded 27 points. Therefore, you get a 1-point reduction for each bypass. (For those with a Jackson education, that means he had 4 bypasses.) Great to have him back, already playing well. Tom's performance leads his team to victory on the Back 9. Raymond, Shelly, and Bill F win the Front 9 and Total with 3 steady rounds. Ron wins his 2nd CTP for his team to put them in the win column. Doc's birdie on #10 to win the Rabbit makes it a Little League Day as every team wins something. That birdie on #10 was the only new birdie on the Bingo Card.

 Tuesday Wednesday Results Top scorers for Tuesday Ray +6 Bill +3 Jeff +3 Scott wins his 3rd CTP. Jeff wins Random Skin with a birdie on 7. Top scorers for Wednesday Scott's +10 wins his 4th Medal. John double jumps also with a +6. Allen shoots a +4. Bill, Allen, and Scott shoot +12 on the Back 9 and +11 Total for 2 victories.  Rik, Clint, and John dominate Card Game with 11 cards and also win the Front. Raymond earns his 5th CTP, edging out Leroy by a nose. Tom drops in to visit, return to playing Friday? Bingo update Red Team takes the lead with 10 birdies, 8 more to go. Green team halfway with 9. Blue team lagging with only 7.

 Wednesday Numbers and Bingo Card Update

  Star Wars Day to some people. Glen and Jeff dressed up last year. A little more info today than usual. Results from the only 2 days we completed, April Review, Bingo Update, and a third of the year is already in the books. We start with a reminder. Tee Times Start at 9:50 Every Day This Week! Tuesday through Friday Weather Permitting. Wednesday Scorecard After Tuesday's round was washed out with 2 of the 5 teams unable to finish before the rain, Wednesday more than made up for it.  Wednesday Card Game and the first day of Bingo left a mark on the record book. The first day of Bingo produced 16 birdies with Clint, Raymond, and Wayne each carding 3. The Card Game saw a new 1-day record for cards collected with 19. The team of Clint (7 cards, birdies on 4,6, and 18), Raymond (5 cards, birdies on 12 and 18), Butch (4 cards, birdie on 8), and Jeff (3 cards, birdie on 4) sets a standard that will be tough to beat. The nineteen cards allowed even Butch to win the event with a full ...
