  Bud's Boys Week in Review 7-15 to 7/18 Tuesday A week of miserable heat began today, and the group was not ready to cope. The total score of the 19 participants added up to a sultry -32. Allen, Norris, and Bill F won the Back 9 and Total with a +6 1/2 and a +4 respectively. Scott's Medalist best +3 led his team to victory on the Front 9 and Charlie won the CTP.  Tom's birdie on #4 wins the Random Skin. Ron was rewarded for his recent good scores with something he really needed. A 99 cent gift card to Dairy Queen. Thursday We had 4 of 6 teams finish Wednesday's play before the rains hit washing out the round. Sixteen BB's were on the course for Medalist Thursday. The dangerous heat index returned but players managed better today with a group score of +2. Dave earns his first Medal topping out at +6, 2 shots better than KZ and Charlie. Charlie did, however, win his 2nd straight CTP honor and third in the last four rounds. Friday Glen prevented Charlie from winning h...

 What goes up must come down as the saying goes. Last week's group effort of +51 is a distant memory after this past week's performance.  The 'market' crashed big time when play resumed on Wednesday. Tuesday was washed out before we teed off leaving the course a little sloppy for a day but softer for the week taking away our run out. The stifling, muggy heat and the slow greens was a recipe for some most uninspiring golf. The 3 days of play resulted in a group score of minus 54, a 105 point swing from last week. let's break it down day by day. Wednesday Jeff wins his 3rd Medal of the season but strikes out on today's money pool due to lack of support. Bill F wins his 2nd CTP. His and teammate John's +3's are the only 2 scores other than Jeff's to deserve a jump in handicap. It also allows them to take home the Front 9 and Total score money. Randy, Bill H, and Dave claim the other 2 events with a +2 Back 9 and a full house in the Card Game. Thursday W...

Hope everyone had a happy 4th. Much credit to Leroy for his annual display. I know it takes some work to make it look that good. BB's Golf 'Ball Street Journal'  The first week of July was a 'Bull Market' for scoring amongst the Bud's Boys. Ron saw his stock rise the highest from 24 at week's beginning to a 28 at week's end as he closed with a 'double' double jump. A +8 on Wednesday followed by a +6 on Thursday begs the question, "How many BB's are willing to buy in to this rising stock and want to be his teammate next week? Scott had the highest one-day rise, his +10 on Tuesday increased his portfolio by $21. Glen ended the week with the best return on his investment ($44) as he teamed with Scott and Ron on their big days and contributed himself with his 12th CTP of 2025. Overall, the group finished the 3 days this week with a cumulative score of +51. Jeff added a +7 on Tuesday and Tom bounced back Thursday with a 38-point performance c...
