The Bogeys

Blog Spot

Welcome to the 'Bogeys' blog. 

The Bogeys are a small and hopefully growing golf club who will travel around from course to course having a hit and a couple of beers to boot. 

So we are our own club and have our own rules. We're not going to reinvent the wheel here, (I think golf is a pretty sweet game as it is) we're just going to tweak the scoring a bit. 

So the main rule change is MAX. This is the MAX score you can score on any one hole, which is 5 over the par of any one hole. e.g. A par 3 MAX would be an 8 and a par 4 would be a 9 etc. Once this score is reached you can either pick and move on (this is preferred when players are waiting behind you) or play on until you finish the hole. Last thing about MAX is to mark it as a 'M' on the score card regardless if you finished the hole on MAX or over.

I have started a results table which shows everyone's score, handicaps, closest pin winners, etc. It also has how many birdies, pars, bogeys etc scored, and of course how many MAX's. I've called quadruple bogeys (4over) Redline, meaning you're redlining and about to MAX out.

I will talk about Handicaps in my next post. I have spoken to a couple of you and I think we've got it sorted. (To be honest I couldn't be arsed typing it out now)

Ok enough rules for now I hope I've got it right and haven't confused anyone. We can fix it later any hows.

Our golfing season has started with the first game at Howeston (Birkdale) with a solid turn out of 7. No real winners or losers in this game (until we are handicapped). We played par 70 course Red then the Yellow 9. Kris (Fez) had the honour of the day, and started the Bogeys off to a cracking start of some sorts Ha. Phil A won the day with 93 shots off the stick. Phil S won the 2 closest pins along with the only birdie of the day. Well done boys.

Leave a comment on the blog if you have any questions etc.

Cheers RoBoT
