Quick shank for your Sunday morning

 



Billy Horshel and Lucas Glover are both turning back the clock in what has become a fantastic finish to the end of the regular Tour schedule. Horschel carded his best round ever with a 62 on Friday and backed that up with a 63 on Saturday. That goes against the statistics on record that say when someone shoots low 60's the next round on average that person shoots in the 70's. For Horschel to go 62, 63 bodes well for his chances on Sunday.

That is if he can hold back the resurgent Lucas Glover, who with his play has vaulted himself over 60 spots up from where he started his FedExCup standing to start Thursday. Glover has never putted as well since adopting the stroke and putter made famous by Adam Scott. Both Horshel and Glover have had fantastic tournaments and look to not only get into the top 70 but the top 50, which will guarantee play into the BMW Championship.

Both players have the pedigree, Horschel former Tour Champion and Glover former Major Champion will look to capitalize on consistent play to this point, and with a splash of luck one of these two will hoist the Wyndham Championship trophy and sail into the FedExCup Playoffs full of swagger!

Ok Ok Ok... So I said Akshay Bhatia was a man on a mission this weekend... yes, yes... my guy missed the cut and his season is over. I am confident that Bhatia will win on Tour next year. Have you seen his swing!? I could watch the guy swing the wrenches until the end of time. He's going to be a star. People love Ludvig Aberg's future... give me Akshay Bhatia all day!

European Ryder Cup Captain Luke Donald has had a solid tournament, besting the United States Captain Zach Johnson (missed cut)... some kind of an omen? Mmmmaybe, Europeans are stacked this time around. If you cannot tell, I love the Ryder Cup and am very much looking forward to it this fall. 

Recap of the Wyndham coming up next... enjoy the tournament... swing easy

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.                                             ...

Leave Anthony Kim alone....and other ramblings

Image
 Well then... a 20-year-old sophomore in college won an event. Anthony Kim might come back. And he'll probably join LIV... right?  We've all heard it by now but last weekend a friggin 20-year-old won the American Express. Given his amateur status, Nick Dunlap missed out on a milli and a half payout, and 500 FedExCup points. Never a better time to finish second than last week. Yet another thing almost none of us can empathize with is, "Yeah, I missed a chance to win $1.5 million this weekend." Poor bastard turned pro days after. We'll see lil Nicky Dunlap elsewhere this season and you'll hear about it for the thousandth time here on Bogey Bogey Start. Golf.com reported this week that Anthony Kim is expected to return to golf this year. He is of course being courted by LIV, while PGA officials in the story "declined to comment." Classic PGA huh.. have you learned nothing over the last 2 years? Kim, who has not played professional golf since 2012, has ...
