Buds Boys KCC

 Thursday Results Eleven names on the scorecards today. Butch and Roger make their first starts of the 2023 season. Butch has a respectable 20 points, missing his number by only 1. Roger only misses by 2.  Leroy and Randy share Medalist with +3's. Each of the 3 teams won some part of today's purse. KeyZ's first CTP of the year gives his team the biggest cut. Fun With Numbers Today's easiest hole was No. 1, playing to an even par total of 22 points. Most difficult hole was a tie with only 10 points scored on each. No. 6 played straight into the wind making club selection difficult, not to mention a ball not struck well. No. 11 was its usual pain on the grass. Only 4 birds today after 8 yesterday even though the pin placements were the same. Lost Foursome

BUD’S BOYS GOLF   No sign of fog today as sunshine stayed constant with cool winds. Not bad for January. The sun did not help scoring as all teams failed to meet their quota. Tom takes POD Award (Player of the Day) with Medalist (+40), most points (34), and CTP on 18, edging Doc by mere inches. His teammates Shelly, Glen, and Bob contribute enough to help win Back 9, and earn enough cards on the par 3's to win today's poker hand.  Rodney debuts with 28 points, assisting Doc and Scott in wins on Front and Total. In his after-round press conference Rodney noted that, "Surprisingly, some of my shots were really good."  And the year has just begun. This could be Rodney's breakout season!

Bud's Boys Golf 2023   As the old saying goes, the fog was so thick............., you could cut it with a knife. That did not deter the 11 BB's that made the opening day roster. They rode to the first tee, their carts pulled by the Clydesdales, and lined up for opening ceremonies. After the Foggy Bottom Boys sang the National Anthem, Doc, the newly elected president of all things KCC, hit the ceremonial first mulligan. The 2023 season has officially begun. Thanks to Doc, Raymond and Clint for sending pictures. We also had a steady stream of texts (still going) during round announcing birdies. I mistakenly mentioned I would take a shot of FB if someone birdied. My cough is now gone along with a portion of my stomach lining.  Bob can now say he has hit one out of sight. Gary commented, "This is one step from playing in the dark." Raymond birdies 6, so he claims. Rick signals to his group, "I think the green is this way." Clint swore he saw something right befo...

Year End Committee Meeting A few BB's gathered Friday to go over any new or old business since golf was not an option. I should start off with the news that we decided not to raise Bud's Boys dues for 2023, as I know some of you were worried about this. They will remain the same rate as 2022, as long as we do not have supply issues. One other issue was passed. A motion was made, "Does anyone object to Leroy buying first round on our return?" The vote was a tie, but Leroy gave Doc his proxy to vote 'no' on any motion thus no carries vote, no one objects to Leroy buying. Other measures considered included letting 4somes tee off first ahead of 3somes to keep us more assembled at rounds end. Not much socializing when one group finishes an hour ahead of the last group. Ready golf will be addressed in future discussions also. Doc also brought up recognition for CTP's won not on consecutive group days, but days when you decide to play (he had 4 in a row spread ou...

 While I am working on Year End Review, please take a look at the pictures posted below. Fellow Kimbeland member Leroy Pulley is moving to an apartment and would like to sell many items in his garage. Take a look and if you are interested in anything contact Leroy Pulley (573-225-2771) or Craig Wilson (579-3852). We had a nice lunch today, wish more could have made it. I am working on last post of the year, should be done over the weekend. Anything you would like to share, just let me know. I believe Raymond has spoken for the bicycle.

Merry Christmas to All Bud's Boys and Families. Wishing everyone all the Christmas you can handle. Be safe and warm till Mother Nature (and Dusty) allows us back on our happy place. I have heard rumors that Mikey may get back on course soon if Santa brings him what he wished for. And for everyone, I hope you also find what you wished for under your Christmas tree!   HO-HO-HO From Bud's Boys HQ  

  As we brace for Christmas and an Arctic Blast, sit back and take your mind off such things by checking in on your fellow BB's and their Wacky-Wednesday Results. A Baker's Dozen wrapped themselves up and teed off after the frost cleared. Scoring was up for the day as a group, but a closer look at the numbers has me shaking my head. "Oh no" some of you are saying because you know what is coming next. That's correct, it is time for.............. Fun With Numbers! Three of our four teams finished with plus scores. ALL 9 PLAYERS GOT THEIR POINTS OR BETTER! Our last team was a foursome, and ALL 4 FINISHED MINUS! This begs the question, 'Does Misery love company'? Does 1 bad apple spoil the whole bunch? I am not a psychiatrist, nor do I play one on TV, but it's hard to believe this is just a coincidence. Is it just easier for 3 to mesh together than 4? (Lame Psychiatrist jokes to follow)  Any comments from the group would be helpful in solving this mystery....
