Opening round and I've got some questions.

 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 freaking believable. Some ominous scoring not seen since the 1950's. 

ooopa

Yes, yes he has made alot of money and some accolades since 2024 BUT, in his heart of hearts... do you think he wishes he stayed at Alabama? Remember he turned pro after that 24 American Express win, and everyone lauded him as this future star. I'll bet anyone who wants to, that he will not be playing in the 2026 Masters.

Elsewhere on the course.....

Ronald McDonald

Sergio Garcia has lost his damn mind. Is it age? Is it being a billionaire? Do the Saudi's tell him what to wear? Is he color blind? There is no excuse for this mess. This photo does not do justice to how bad this look is. I cannot wait to see what he wears tomorrow though.

Until then..

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 ...
