I nominate @boogielicious 

It's fits the part of most golfers. I often comment to my buddies "I can make bogey with the best"
and "anybody can make a twenty-footer to save bogey"

ha ha.  Since there is a guitar in his profile picture I always thought boogie/boogielicious was the musical term and not a reference to the word bogey.

I've always liked @Fourputt; no great reason in particular I guess, but:

1. like all 2-syllable nicknames, it rolls of the tongue

2. it's easily recognized

3. it'll "stick" as a long term nickname unlike longer names that just don't take

4. and I've had a few 4-putts in my illustrious career, I find it comforting that someone else shares in that feat....assuming he's actually 4-putted before.

I would go along with @No Mulligans mainly due to the spelling.

The other term "Bogey" has a lot of different meanings, alluding to malevolent beings, image of incoming aircraft or missiles on radar, or an Australian term pertaining to swimming, or bathing.  Of course you could always simply ask "boogielicious" himself.  "Let's boogie".  As for my own "Nome de Plum", I got that from the film on TGC  " Hacker Jones" (or whatever it was called).

Yeah… I don't think it's about "bogey" @Club Rat… ;-)

I always liked @cipher. It meets your two-syllable requirement, @woodzie264. :-)

Nope, my error...It was "The legend of Bagger Vance".

You mean it doesn't have to do with boogers?  That changes my whole perception of him.

@boogielicious is about waves. He's all new-age-y hipster like that ;-)

I always like @Stretch. Or @jamo.

What occurs to me, and being mindful that I have no horse in this race, is that it is about the "best" name, not popularity. Of course, having "both" would be nice.

I've always got a kick out of @Slice of Life. Good non-golf phrase that uses an all-to-familiar golf term (for my tee shots).

Honorable mentions that have good rings to them (even if more than 2 syllables!):

@Al B Tross, @Archie Bunker, @sirhacksalot, @Shanks A Million, @isukgolf, @No Mulligans, @Gator Hazard

Not to hijack, but I'd like to up the ante. My username won't be in the running since it's one I used on an archery forum and it's easy for me to remember. Maybe someday I'll get specific and switch to something catchier.

My idea is the best username/avatar combo! In that case paininthenuts might be a runaway winner! I'd also cast a vote for natureboy since I am seriously in love with his avatar! That's the woman of my dreams, right there!

There's like 4-5 versions of "Shankapotamus;"  I love that one. Always makes me think of the taking baby E-trade commercial :-P

Should I change names, I would consider using  "Link", "Morpheus", or "Neo"  and take the RED pill.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
