Bogey Bogey Start is 1!!

 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 What made my life palatable to me last year was trying to find an audience through this long outdated medium of blogging.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 gainfully employed, and realizing that the 2024 Open Championship starts tomorrow (7/18), I just wanted to write something to say how I feel.

I've said before on here that I do not know who reads this but I am appreciative of all of you... whoever you are. I am no technophile and I know you have to go out of your way to find this crap, but I really, truly appreciate you. 

Year 2 will be more regular with entries, and I will (I PROMISE!) have stuff for sale in 2024. Fun golf clubs, maybe some t-shirts, ya know anything anyone does now, it might show up here on Bogey Bogey Start.

LOVE YOUUU!

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

 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 ...
