The “Boom Bang Bop Crew” is a group of friends who’ve been hanging out for years. Now they show up and enjoy golf in style.
They talked about what the bing, bang and boom means.
“That’s how we start the day off and as the day continues, that’s where all these start coming into play [the bing, bang and boom],” they said. “Then you start bumping into things and people.”
There was a newcomer to the group who didn’t have a matching shirt. He explained why.
“This is my first year with these guys, I bought the shirt, when I put it on this morning, it was just very itchy in the back so I decided that I would wear a similar color shir, very vibrant,” the man said.
Some of the gear sold in the shop at Sawgrass was made in Jacksonville. An employee said it was the most popular shirt. A group of women arrived and they hit the shop before watching golf.
“It’s crazy because when you go in there, it’s almost overwhelming if you want to buy something because there is literally so much stuff,” they said.
