Bogey

Bogey is a term used in various contexts, primarily in golf, aviation, and film. The term has different meanings depending on the context in which it is used.

Golf

In golf, a bogey is a score of one stroke over par for a hole. For example, if a hole is a par 4 and a golfer takes 5 strokes to complete it, they have made a bogey. The term is part of the scoring system in golf, which also includes birdie (one stroke under par), eagle (two strokes under par), and double bogey (two strokes over par).

Aviation

In aviation, a bogey refers to an unidentified aircraft. The term is often used in military aviation to describe a radar or visual contact whose identity is unknown. Once the aircraft is identified, it is no longer referred to as a bogey but as a bandit if it is confirmed to be hostile.

Film

In the context of film, the term bogey is often associated with the legendary actor Humphrey Bogart. Bogart, often nicknamed "Bogie," was an iconic figure in Hollywood cinema, known for his roles in classic films such as Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon.
