Wow, LIV sucks hard and golf is effed in Asheville

 

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!? Wow what a leaderboard for their novel under lights tournament this past week. 




Don't worry though Lucas Herbert, Dean Burmester, Sebastian Munoz, and Adrian Meronk (from Cleeks GC WTF) can now buy anything they wish... that's what life is all about right? Wealth accumulation? That's why I play golf... what about you? Or do you lose $150 every time you play? 

Speaking of wealth accumulation, I was BLOWN away to see Rick Shiels signing with LIV as an ambassador. I have followed Shiels on and off since 2014. I responded to some Instagram thing he had and said, "Not even you can make LIV interesting." The ego of these golfers is unbelievable! The ego, and lack of soul... off the charts. If you don't know who Rick Shiels is, you're probably not reading this anyway.

Maybe you'll hear from me around Arnies Tourney or the Players... love the Players. I will also be 39 fucking years old around then. Eeesh. We go forward.

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 ...
