Buds Boys KCC

  Tuesday July 2 July started with 14 players participating. High level of play as each team reached their points or above. Tom was Medalist with a double-jump +7 as he shot an even par 36 points. It helped his team edge out a win on the Front 9. Mikey's birdie on 16 wins the Random Skin and leads his team to victories on the Back 9 and the Total. He also had the CTP until...... Glen sticks one inside a couple of feet to earn his 6th CTP of the season. Wednesday July 3 A Royal Flush was played out on a day many BB's were up north competing in a SEMO sr. event. A small turnout of 10 were dominated by the team of Shelly, Doc, Rick, and Randy. All four carded a plus number led by Shelly's Medalist +8. They easily sweep the FBT and the Card Game. A surprising CTP win for Doc as he is the only one of the 10 players to hit the green on 18. (On the other hand, all 10 had a par on 13. and more surprising is that the group played #14 at 1-under.) John brought along his son Charlie, ...

  Bingo Starts Tuesday!! Lots and Lots of numbers in this issue including June Review and Recap of the first half of the 2024 season. But we will begin with Bingo news. July does indeed come in with a bang as the first day of Birdie Bingo is this Tuesday July 2nd. Teams were drawn Friday night after the scores of that day were posted. Here is the luck of the draw.

 Bud's Boys Reminder  We have moved our first tee time from 9:50 to 9:42 for the foreseeable future. This is everyday Tuesday through Friday so adjust your morning schedule accordingly if you can. Tuesday Play Heat Index in the 100's but all 13 BB's finished the round intact. Scott was Player of the Day, winning Medalist with a double jump +6 to lead his team to a win on the Back. His birdie on #1 also won the Random Skin. This is the 3rd Tuesday in a row the skin was won on #1. Scott insists the cards are not all Red Aces, so we do not have to change the name to 'Not so Random Skins' just yet. Rodney cards a +5 and Clint a +4 to win the Front and Total (Jeff shoots Even). Randy wins the CTP.

Bud's Boys News of the Week Floyd's Fish Fry was certainly a big success. Floyd's fish, as usual was fried to perfection. The sides were also so good that there were many uncomfortable people whose attempts at moderation failed miserably, including myself.  Thanks to Floyd and Karen for being exceptional hosts and everyone who contributed the great food. Jeff's golf shootout was a little on the disappointing side. It turns out that it is very hard to hit an effective shot from 120 yards when your stomach is fully expanded. The level of Jeff's pond is a little higher thanks to the many golf balls now residing at the bottom. After everyone had made their futile attempts, Jeff finally hit the flag stick for the best shot of the night. It should be noted that he also rinsed a ball or two earlier. Friday June 21 Results Tom was today's birthday boy and he treated everyone to cake and much appreciated ice cream at the end of the round. Sorry we have no pictures as Doc...

Friday Birthday for Tom- There Will Be Cake! If you like German Chocolate or Pineapple Upside Down Cake, you must show up for golf on Friday. Come for post round festivities if you can't make it for the game. Directions to Floyd's for Saturday Exit 87 - Turn Left at Stop Sign Stay on this road for 1.8 Miles (it is winding) Turn Left at Floyd's Lane before the two toned gray shed Tuesday June 18 With sincere apologies to the estate of Ernest Lawrence Thayer, author of the famous poem, 'Casey at the Bat', I present                            The Mighty KeeZee The Bud's Boys gathered with numbers aplenty, Could KeeZee add to his streak of twenty? Cards were turned to determine the teams, The results made him smile, KeeZee seemed pleased. For by drawing the twosome of Clint and Scott, He's surely assured a share of the pot. A four point five on their opening nine, a lead that would surely suffice, At times perhaps, but no...

Bud's Boys Weekend Update We start this issue with a discussion on 'Streaking'. Not this kind. Dimaggio had 56. Ripken 2632. Byron Nelson 11 PGA wins. Tiger 142 cuts made. Sugar Ray Robinson 91 wins.  All sports streaks probably never broken. So where does KZ's 20 straight wins rank? Hard to say. Maybe we should discuss when (or if) it ever stops. Thursday June 13 A celebration for Randy and Jeff's 68th BD's produced some very high scoring with only 2 of the 13 invited guests failed to reach their handicap number. John was today's Medalist with a double jump +9 but all his team could muster was a tie for the Front. As mentioned above, KZ (+5) stretches win streak to 20 with the help of Floyd (+2) and Bill (+4), taking the Back and Total along with the other half of the Front. Bill adds to their haul by winning his first CTP of the season. Scott wins the special birthday edition of the Rabbit game with a birdie on 10. Tom wins the $40-dollar extra pot for his...

Bud's Boys Birthday Bash Thursday A short notice birthday party for Jeff and Randy tomorrow at the course. Probably some food and drink and probably CTP prizes for holes 6 and 8 as they are turning 68 in the next few days. Gifts are not required but money is always welcome. Tuesday June 11 Rodney is the first Buds Boy to wear professional golfer Jason Day's line of loose-fitting golf apparel. KZ helps himself in stretching his winning streak to 19. He and Butch both score +4 on the Front to lead their team to victory. They also tie for the Total. Medalist Roger (+6) does most of his damage in the Back, leading his team to that win and the other half of the Total. Raymond puts one in tight to a blue flag on 18 to earn the CTP. Doc has the only Birdie on Number 1 to take the Random Skin for his boys. Wednesday June 12 It was a Jekyll and Hyde day for many of today's 17 golfers. Several of our group started fast by turning in some big scores on the Front. As is typical for gol...
