Our Story – The Bogey Blokes Family

The Heart of the Bogey Blokes Family

Hi, I’m Ray (short for Rehan). I’m a stay at home dad, a golf tragic, and the bloke behind Bogey Blokes.

Our journey started with my little family. My wife Em and I welcomed our son far earlier than expected. He was born at just 27 weeks, weighing only 720 grams. He spent three long months in the NICU fighting to grow strong. During that time Em was recovering from a C section and gestational diabetes, while I was working full time as a shed installer with my father in law’s business.

It was our first baby, and as any parent knows, nothing prepares you for the reality. The sleepless nights, the worry, the joy, the fear, it was a lot. And for Em it was even tougher, as she was also battling her own mental health challenges. She’s the best mum in the world, and her love for our son is unmatched, but we knew something had to change.

So we swapped roles. I became the stay at home dad, and Em returned to the job she loves, caring for others as an enrolled nurse in aged care. We chose not to send our son to daycare. Like any protective dad I wanted to be there with him, to keep him safe and give him everything I could.

I tried finding casual work, but nothing came through. To make ends meet, I started selling bits and pieces online. It wasn’t much, but it was something. Then with a little tax refund, Em’s support, and a whole lot of hope, we decided to take a leap and start Bogey Blokes.

What began as a small home based hustle has grown into something more: a way for us to share a laugh, some cheeky golf gear, and a reminder that golf and life doesn’t have to be so serious. I design, make, and build with quality in mind, and everything gets Em’s and the in-laws’ tick of approval before it leaves our home.

We’re still small, still learning, still building. But every order you place helps us keep going as parents, as a family, and as Bogey Blokes.

Thanks for being part of our story. We hope you love what we’re creating.

Ray, Em & Baby Dan Dan
