   A bogey refers to different concepts depending on the context: 1. In golf, a bogey is a score of one stroke over par at a hole. 2. In military slang, it is used to refer to an unidentified aircraft or missile, often an enemy one. 3. In a broader context, it can be used to describe an imaginary source of fear or an object of aversion. 4. It can also refer to a low ranking or standard (as in "bogey value"). 5. In bridge and similar games, it can mean an imaginary player who always plays perfectly. 6. For trains, a bogey is a framework with wheels attached. 7. Among children, it is also a term for dried nasal mucus. The usage depends entirely on the specific context, as these are unrelated senses of the term.

Examples of bogey in a Sentence

1. Wisconsin Germany Martin Kaymer:

   In 2010 I didn't make many mistakes, I really avoided the big numbers, if you miss the fairways once in a while, you have to accept that that bogey is not a bad score.

2. Sergio Garcia:

   Very happy about not making bogeys. Obviously, that’s always a very positive thing, first round of the season bogey-free, very proud of that, but at the same time I feel like I drove the ball quite well and did n’t take advantage of it.

3. Steven Edmondson:

   We were trying to do something that was simple, net double bogey is better.

4. Brooks Koepka:

   Tell Harold Varner III what, the hour spent from number 11 to 14 was interesting, i just got stuck in a bogey train. I just made mistakes at the wrong time.

5. The Indian:

   Anytime you have a bogey-free card, it's fantastic, i feel like my game's gotten better every week I've played. The standards that I've set for The Indian, I've played mediocre or average golf the last few months. I definitely feel like I should be competing more consistently.
