TJ and Gary welcome back recurring guest John Kelly, also known as The Bumbling Golfer. John shares his appreciation for the podcast, emphasizing that it delivers valuable golf-related content, unlike some other golf podcasts that stray off-topic.

John reflects on his personal golf journey, discussing his significant improvement over the past year lowering his handicap. He attributes this progress to consistent practice, especially in his short game, and the support of his golf community at Scramble House.

He also opens up about the challenges he faced in 2023, including losing his job and the passing of his mother. These hardships pushed him to pursue his passions more fully, with exciting plans lined up for 2025. He credits his wife’s unwavering support for keeping him motivated.

The conversation shifts to the Scramble House, a golf facility that John is heavily involved with. The hosts express their excitement about a new location opening in Rochester, which will provide a much-needed indoor golf space in their region. They discuss the struggle of practicing during the off-season and the lack of high-quality indoor golf options nearby.

Beyond golf, the discussion veers into other sports, including baseball, basketball, and the NBA. John, a Philadelphia sports fan, talks about the Phillies' playoff struggles, his excitement for the upcoming baseball season, and his newfound interest in college basketball due to his daughters attending Saint Joseph’s University.

This week on Basic Bogeys, TJ and Gary chat with Jeff, the creator of Alignment Ball Mark, about his journey in golf, product design, and entrepreneurship.

Jeff shares how he first got into golf as a kid but found it frustrating due to the lack of instant gratification. It wasn’t until much later that he fully embraced the game and began working on improving his skills. His inspiration for Alignment Ball Mark came when he realized the tediousness of lining up putts and sought a more efficient solution.

He describes the evolution of his product, from a crude wooden prototype to a refined, USGA-compliant design. Overcoming multiple hurdles—including legal issues over his logo and the challenges of marketing—he successfully brought Alignment Ball Mark to market. His product is now sold on Amazon and promoted through social media. The product even won best new product at the 2022 PGA Show!

Jeff also discusses customization options for his ball markers, making them appealing for charity tournaments and branding. The episode wraps up with hints at a new, undisclosed product he’s developing, adding to the excitement of his entrepreneurial journey.

In this episode of Basic Bogeys, TJ and Gary are joined by the first guest of season 2: The Gotham Golfer. The mysterious golfer, who portrays himself as Batman, discusses his journey into golf, which began as a way to manage past anger issues. He reveals that he started playing during the COVID-19 pandemic while taking refuge in the mountains of Idaho.

Throughout the episode, Gotham Golfer shares his passion for the game, emphasizing that golf is more mental than physical. He acknowledges the difficulty of the sport and relates to golfers of all levels, stating that even Batman struggles with the game. He also talks about his one-on-one golf matches, his toughest competition so far, and his desire for an 18-hole showdown to prove his skills.

The conversation touches on golf's seasonal challenges, particularly in Idaho versus upstate New York, where the hosts are based. The episode also includes a discussion about Acorn Hills, a golf brand that supports sustainability with plantable seed paper tags.

The Gotham Golfer humorously struggles with the internet but shares that fans can find him on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube under @GothamGolfer. The episode showcases his fun approach to the game while staying in character, making for an entertaining and lighthearted start to the new season.

Season 2 is officially in progress! We catch up on some golf, covering various topics such as upcoming interviews with notable figures in the golf world, ongoing and upcoming tournaments, and player performances. Of course we had to discuss Rory McIlroy’s recent win, the start of the PGA Tour season, and the Phoenix Open.

There’s a focus on the new TGL league, its format, and how it has been gaining traction, especially with Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s involvement. We highlight how the league is evolving, keeping fans engaged, and filling a weekday sports gap. We also talk about notable hole-in-one achievements, upcoming tournament locations, and the impact of shifting schedules due to unforeseen circumstances.

Finally, we bring in a special guest, John Kelly, who is in Philadelphia and describes the city's high-energy atmosphere. He gives us great insights on the Eagles' strengths, including their offensive and defensive lines, key players like Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley, and their overall depth. Our Super Bowl Preview also touches on past games, including a dominant performance against Washington and a tough loss for the Buffalo Bills.
