BB's Weekend Update

Rules Change

The PGA Tour is changing some rules so we will follow suit, at least on one particular circumstance.

From now on, we will play Out of Bounds as they do in SEMO Senior play.

OB will continue to be a 1-stroke penalty, but no distance penalty. In plain speak, drop where your ball crossed the OB line. REMEMBER, still a 1-stroke penalty.

This will save time, especially eliminating provisional drives on No. 2 when we are not sure if ball stayed in play or not.

Should help most on 4 and 5, but 3 and possibly 12 as well.

Much like 18, however, you always have the choice to re-tee.

Our new Club Manager and Club Pro visited the group on the 13th green.

Friday Results

Thirteen players on Friday was not bad luck for Scott, Glen, and Butch. They came within 1 stroke on the Back 9 from completing a Royal Flush.

Scott won the CTP while Glen and Butch birdied #11 to snare the Rabbit. All 3 were plus on the day, good enough to take The Front 9 and Total.

Fun with Numbers

We played 4 times this week, equaling the total times played last January when we played the 2nd, 3rd, 28th, and 29th.

Here's hoping we don't go 25 days between games this year.

Would you believe we had one player each day this week post a +7? Doc, Allen, Scott, and Ray all turned the trick. Throw in Raymond's +9 on Tuesday and we have some impressive early performances.

Early Money Leaders include Raymond $37, Butch $33, Charlie $32, and Scott $30.

Nine of the Buds played all 4 days this week.

One club was thrown in the water this week,
