Uhh duhhh.. Bogey Bogey Start missed its birthday. Why didn't you say anything?

Image
 To go or not go that is the question. Have you ever seen live PGA golf or any of the other (cough cough) lesser (cough cough) tours like, (sneeze) the one that sucks?  Surely, you've watched golf from home.. Masters? US Open? John Deere? Barricuda? My existential question here is, would you rather stay home, or go to an event? This is not cut and dry as you may believe. Its cool to see these folks hit balls like the pros they are. BUT you have little notification of whats happening on the course. Maybe you hear some yelling... what does it mean? Who is it? If you were on your couch... you'd know instantly. BUT you would see it in 2D.. its a hard one. No wrong choice though. Anyway,  Its November.... I lost my sign in stuff for MONTHS.. It was a messy time. But guess what, over that time, Bogey Bogey Start turned 2. No big deal... I only wrote like 1 or 2 posts last year... I'M SORRY! You don't care though.

Opening round and I've got some questions.

Image
 As the world around us burns... figuratively and literally......it's finally Masters Tourney time. Let me start with saying that the Masters App is.... THE SHIT. If you are reading this, you probably already know this. It leads major coverage by a wide margin. Others do not even come close to the accessibility this app gives golf fans. --Side bar--- remember when the PGA Championship was on TNT? WTF? As I start writing this Justin Rose finished his round atop the leaderboard. This dude is impressive. I know he spends an ass load of time and money on keeping his body right, but ya still have to make the shots, and boy howdy does he. Can he go wire to wire? Last to do it was Spieth in 2015.... shout out Brian Riddle. Be like J. Rose... replace your divots.. you monsters Does Nick Dunlap seem like he's having fun? No... no he did not have fun. In his opening round, the 2024 American Express Tournament darling, finished his opening round with a 90! +18. +18!!!!!! +18!!???? Un frea...

Wow, LIV sucks hard and golf is effed in Asheville

Image
  Let me start by saying.....I have not played, nor watched golf since August. 2024. No watching because Big Scheff is making it boring... in a very cool way. No playing because Asheville (where I live) had many of its courses wiped out by Helene... that b. A new season (does it ever end?) is upon us, and we are getting close to seeing El Tigre at the Genesis. Granted we have TGL now too. I personally have seen only the blow out matches. Also, super strange to see Tiger's mom in attendance at his last match and days later she passed away. Life is friggin something else. **I am too slow of a writer... he pulled out of the Genesis due to his mother's death.** I am trying to get my steam back... it might never return. I do not care for the Waste Masters Classic or as it is otherwise known the Phoenix Waste Management Open. Honestly, I need to experience some nice weather to get physically and mentally back into golf... usually by the Florida swing. LIV sucks. Still. Adrian Meronk!...

Bogey Bogey Start is 1!!

Image
 While sitting on the couch, watching a quite boring 2023 Open Championship, I had an idea to make it more interesting (at least for me). Bogey Bogey Start was born out of boredom, and a love of the game of golf.  About 2 weeks before the start of the Open and the birth of BBS, I was fired from a golf course job for going to my grandma's 80th birthday. The Superintendant at the course I worked at was a drunken sociopath and  I was not too bothered by being canned. Having had 10 years previous experience in brewing I thought it would be an easy re-entry into working in that industry. It was not. The bulk of 2023 was hard for yer boi. Despite endless efforts to get a job, attend events to meet people, and get my name out, it all proved worthless. What made my life palatable to me last year was trying to find an audience through this long outdated medium of blogging. I did not have a blog in 2006, why would I start one in 2023? I tend to swim upstream. Back to being gainfull...

Canadian Open and beyond.... its friggin summer!

Image
 Welllllllllllllllllll... I don't know if people are actually reading this stuff, but Google tells me that you are. Which is amazing because I have made it so hard on you all. Please know that I truly appreciate all of you, whether you're just a hacker clicking on here to (not) get any payout, or just a lookie loo, or if you actually find anything in this mumbo jumbo, I thank you very much for checking it out. Anyway. What has happened? I do love the Canadian Open. Sorry to see Nelly come down to earth with a +10 in the US Open (5/30), including a 10 on a par 3. I'm sure I've gotten a 10 on a par 3, I just never had the strength to write it down. Grayson Murray... very sad. Sun Day Red. How much more money does Tiger need? $90 dollars for a monocolored t-shirt? And, god damnit! Mock turtlenecks!? People... save/invest your money.                                             ...

Say it ain't so, Akshay!

Image
 Man... just give it some time, and things turn around eh? Akshay wins and gets in, its Masters week(!!!), and I have myself a Masters kid, who turns 2 on Friday, with a party to follow on Saturday. That is to say... yer boy will not get to see all of his favorite week in golf. Alas, those of us that are parents, know the struggle... right?  Friggin Akshay!! My guy, our guy! He gutted out a win in San Antonio this past weekend to get an automatic spot at Augusta the following week. As if that pressure was not enough... Akshay sunk a 12-foot, downhill put to force a playoff and in a very ok celebration... separated his own shoulder. Sports injuries through celebration are a specific cringe in my opinion. My guy Akshay joins Tony Finau (ankle separation, Par 3 contest...memba?) Bill Gramatica the former Cardinals kicker who while celebrating a made field goal (that's your job) tore his ACL,  quarterback Gus Frerotte who sprained his own neck slamming his head off a wall whi...
