Bogey is your Par
Bogey + Par = BAR!
Here's the thing. You're not that good at golf. No really, I mean you're lucky to keep it under 100. You go through a couple sleeves of balls every time you play. You hit in the low 90s when you play well and your goal is to start hitting in the 80s.
You know the mental game is important and often you can't help getting down on yourself, which then makes you play worse like a self-perpetuating shit-cycle.
Most of all you just want to enjoy playing golf.
Why measure yourself like a scratch golfer? You don't have a handicap. You suck.
Really you'd be psyched to hit 90 every time, and breaking 90 would be sweeeeeet!
A 90 is Bogey Golf.
Par is normally 72. If you bogey every hole that adds 18, equaling 90, equaling you don't suck!
Here's the other thing, saying Bogey! every time you bogey a hole is not fun.
You know what is fun? A BAR!
Bogey+Par=Bar
Now when you and your buddies play, your goal is to play Bar Golf.
When you bogey a hole you can proudly announce BAR!
When you play a round you now track how many over (or under) Bar you are.
You stop feeling shitty about your scores while you're playing.
A Double Bogey is now just one over Bar.
A Par is a BARdie! A Birdie...is a fckn Birdie! Nice job bud!
Golf is fun again.
You're welcome.
