Bud golfed with us from 1992 through 2003.

(May 15, 1927 - January 12, 2012)

 

Floyd Buckley, 84, peacefully passed away Thursday, January 12, 2012 at the McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden.

 

He was born May 15, 1927 to Chris and Mame Buckley in Blackfoot, Idaho. He spent his youth in the Idaho and Utah

 area as one of 13 brothers and sisters. He married Doradene Williams on June 4, 1947. They had two children, Larry

 (Penny) Buckley and Kathy Buckley and one granddaughter Maury. Doradene passed away on February 3, 1998.

 

He married Darlene Corless on May 1, 1999 in North Ogden, Utah and enjoyed another son and daughter, Brad (Tammy)

 Corless and Pam (Brad) Lindley, four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

 

Floyd was very active with the Jaycees in Layton, Utah and was an active trap and skeet shooter, fishing and just living life

 in general. He was introduced to the game of golf in the 70’s and became very addicted to the game. If you had a minute he

 would show you his “new drawing board” as he retired from Civil Service at Hill Air Force Base in 1973.

 

Floyd was very active with the LDS Church in North Ogden where he was surrounded by many new friends. He went

 through the Temple, and received his endowments later in life. He was simply a wonderful simple man, who made friends

 with everyone he met.

 

We will always remember his favorite saying… Hang in there and stay tough.

 

He is survived by his wife Darlene, brother Leonard Buckley, sons Larry and Brad, daughter Pam, grandchildren, Maury,

 Ashlie, Taylor, Courtney, Chelsey, great-grandchildren, Emmy, Reese and Locke.

ONLY A TRUE GOLFER WILL UNDERSTAND THESE

ONLY A TRUE GOLFER WILL UNDERSTAND THESE:

Don't buy a putter until you've had a chance to throw it.

Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your
swing.

When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either hit one more
club or two more balls.

If you're afraid a full shot might reach the green while the foursome ahead of
you is still putting out, you have two options: you can immediately shank a
lay-up or you can wait until the green is clear and top a ball halfway there.

The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the
golf swing.

No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse.

The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant elimination of the one
critical unconscious motion that allowed you to compensate for all of your many
other errors.

Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot.

A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponents' luck.

It is surprisingly easy to hole a fifty foot putt, for a 10.

Counting on your opponent to inform you when he breaks a rule is like expecting
him to make fun of his own haircut.

Nonchalant putts count the same as chalant putts.

It's not a gimme if you're still 5 meters away.

The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a straight line
that passes directly through the center of a very large tree.

You can hit a two acre fairway 10% of the time and a two inch branch 90% of the
time.

If you really want to get better at golf, go back and take it up at a much
earlier age.

Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is actually the
beginning of the next group of three.

When you look up, causing an awful shot, you will always look down again at
exactly the moment when you ought to start watching the ball if you ever want to
see it again.

Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make two triple bogeys
to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe.

If you want to hit a 7 iron as far as Tiger Woods does, simply try to lay up
just short of a water hazard.

To calculate the speed of a player's downswing, multiply the speed of his
back-swing by his handicap; I.e., back-swing 20 mph , handicap 15, downswing =
300 mph.

One of my personal favorites:
There are two things you can learn by stopping your back-swing at the top and
checking the position of your hands: how many hands you have, and which one is
wearing the glove.

Hazards attract; fairways repel.

A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not yours.

If there is a ball on the fringe and a ball in the bunker, your ball is in the
bunker If both balls are in the bunker, yours is in the footprint.

It's easier to get up at 6:00 AM to play golf than at 10:00 to mow the lawn.

A good drive on the 18th hole has stopped many a golfer from giving up the game.

Golf is the perfect thing to do on Sunday because you always end up having to
pray a lot anyway.

A good golf partner is one who's always slightly worse than you are....that's
why I get so many calls to play with friends.

If there's a storm rolling in, you'll be having the game of your life.

Golf balls are like eggs. They're white. They're sold by the dozen. And you need
to buy fresh ones each week.

It's amazing how a golfer who never helps out around the house will replace his
divots, repair his ball marks, and rake his sand traps.

If your opponent has trouble remembering whether he shot a six or a seven, he
probably shot an eight (or worse).

It takes longer to learn to be a good golfer than it does to become a brain
surgeon. On the other hand, you don't get to ride around on a cart, drink beer,
eat hot dogs and fart, if you are performing Brain Surgery!!!!
