Bud's Boys Mid-Week Report Sad news just given to me. Doc's brother-in-law Lyle has passed after an extended illness.  Some of us that had a chance to play a few rounds of golf with him will remember an incredibly kind and decent person. Our thoughts and sympathies to Doc and his family as they face a tough few days ahead. Bingo Ends on Last Day of July It took exactly 1 month (13 playing days) to complete this chapter of the Bingo Game. Tom ended the growing frustration of all the teams with a Birdie on #16 to fill out the card of the Blue Team. White team comes up 2 holes short, the Red team 3. Final scorecard results below. Tuesday Play Heat index around 115* didn't deter 15 BB's from the challenge. Rodney's Co-Medalist +4 teamed with +1's from Tom and Raymond was enough to win 2 and a half of the FBT. Clint's Co-Medalist +4 managed a tie on the Back 9 for his team. KZ wins the CTP. Mikey's birdie on #14 wins the Random Skin. Although 4 of the 5 teams...

  Bingo ended Wednesday when Tom birdied 16 for the Blue team. Full details coming soon.

Bud's Boys Weekend Wrap Up July is wrapping up, Bingo should be finished this week, Doc comes up short of the Floyd for the second time this month and Roger has an unexpected Colorado experience.  Here is the latest. Thursday July 25 Relief from the heat gave us a great July day for golf. KZ (+4) edges Butch (+3) and Glen (+3) to claim Medalist Honors on Medalist Thursday. KZ, Glen, and Marty (+2) are the only team to finish plus on either side and easily sweep the FBT. Glen's streak at 14. Scott wins the CTP to prevent the Royal Flush. Doc went against normal protocol and played in the first group in his attempt to capture the 'Floyd'. He had to get to a Barry Manilow concert in St. Louis, thus the early tee time. His tee shot on 18 had the distance but not the direction, ending up in the fringe and eliminating his chance for fame. Seems the news spread to Barry and he dedicated a song, 'The One That Got Away' to Doc during the concert. Leroy allowed us no warn...

(Doc's) Search for Tomorrow (for a Floyd)! The Edge of Bingo! Bud's Boys has entered their Soap Opera phase as it is indeed, 'The Days of our Lives'. Doc is on a heater by winning his 2nd consecutive CTP and 4th in his last 5 attempts. For the second time this month he will attempt to join Floyd and Butch as the only 3-in-a-row winners. Come out and protect the Floyd! Raymond's birdie on 17 Wednesday leaves his team with only 1 hole left (16) in the Bingo Game. Butch, after watching his so-called Captains gag again, becomes 'The Guiding Light' for the White Team by knocking off hole #2 leaving them with 3. The Red Team ('The Old and the Restless') still have 5 to go.  Tuesday July 23 Allen is the day's Medalist with a +4. Sidekick Leroy's +2 gives their team Front and Total. Doc wins the CTP, his team the Back 9. Glen extends his winning streak to 12 with his birdie on 13 being the Random Skin. Wednesday July 24 Medalist Leroy (+6) double jum...

  The rain eventually won out on Tuesday and Wednesday as several holes were played both days before the group surrendered to the elements. Thursday, however, greeted BB's with lower temps and great conditions for the fifteen golfers present for Medalist Day.  Tom's 1-under par 37 points leads his team to a FBT sweep. Randy wins the CTP. The chase for Medalist resulted in a first time ever 5-way tie. Leroy, Dean, Tom, Bob, and Bill all finished 1 point short of the double jump +6. (I'm sure no one laid off at the end.) It was agreed to break the tie in typical BB's fashion, by cutting high card. Bill's King wins the cash for his team. Red team crosses 5,6,10 off their list in Bingo action. White and Blue teams drop birdies on 8 and 6 for their teams. Friday Play Biggest turnout of the week on an unusually mild July day saw 18 BB's tee off. The winners were spread out as 4 of the 5 teams won an event. Unfortunately for Bill, his team was the lone loser. You have ...

  Thursday July 11 Scott and Butch carded +5's on Medalist Thursday, but that wasn't enough to catch Clint's double-jump +6. Clint's team wins 3 and a 1/2 events with Mikey's 4th CTP of the year. Scott, Glen, and Bob get the other 1 and a    1/2.  New Feature  As you look at today's result's sheet you will notice a number in parentheses after the CTP and the Medalist telling us about their total for the year. This is similar to reading a baseball box score and seeing: HR's Mantle (34), Mays (40) denoting their home run total for the year.  Today's sheet will note Mikey's 4th CTP and Clint's 3rd Medal. Friday July12 Led by Leroy's double-jump +6, Leroy, Raymond, and Mikey sweep the FBT. Raymond's birdies on 4 and 8 cage the Rabbit. Floyd's first CTP of the season prevents a Royal Flush. For the second consecutive day, Butch cards an impressive plus number but fails to cash in. Butch, you need to get better partners. Jeff strolls ov...

Bwana Butch Back with Bud's Boys Butch, the official BB's ambassador to Africa, made his return to more familiar ground today as he teed it up for the first time since June 13. Many stories to come from the daring adventurer. The first thing Butch wants to share is a change in schedule. Butch Fest will be moved from the July 27 Date Due to timing and schedule issues, Butch Fest will be moved to the Fall. All details will be released when available. One rumor making the rounds is that it will take a little longer to process the meat for Butch's Hippo potta- roast and Rhino sausage. Wednesday Play The course was the big winner today. I suppose BB's need their roll out, but the soft conditions would have none of that. The first 4 teams to finish combined for a rather embarrassing -47. The team of Raymond, Doc, and Val, however, figured things out well enough to win the Front by 9 shots and the Total by 12. They slipped up a bit to lose the Back to Shelly, Scott, and an ast...
