Colonel Bogey March
The "Colonel Bogey March" is a popular march that was written in 1914 by Lieutenant F. J. Ricketts (1881–1945) (a.k.a. Kenneth J. Alford), a British Army bandmaster who later became the director of music for the Royal Marines at Plymouth.
==History==
Since at that time service personnel were not encouraged to have professional lives outside the armed forces, British Army bandmaster F. J. Ricketts published "Colonel Bogey" and his other compositions under the pseudonym Kenneth Alford.〔Gene Phillips (2006). "Beyond the Epic: The Life and Films of David Lean". p.306. University Press of Kentucky.〕 Supposedly, the tune was inspired by a military man and golfer who whistled a characteristic two-note phrase (a descending minor third interval ) instead of shouting "Fore!". It is this descending interval that begins each line of the melody. The name "Colonel Bogey" began in the later 19th century as the imaginary "standard opponent" of the Colonel Bogey scoring system,〔''The Royal Cornwall Gazette'' of 10 March 1892 reports the results of the Royal Cornwall Golf Club Ladies ''vs'' "Colonel" Bogey〕 and by Edwardian times the Colonel had been adopted by the golfing world as the presiding spirit of the course.〔Many references to the Colonel in the press include a letter from a "golf widow" to ''The Times'' of 3 June 1914〕 Edwardian golfers on both sides of the Atlantic often played matches against "Colonel Bogey".〔Toronto; Globe 25 October 1904 p. 10.〕 Bogey is now a golfing term meaning "one over par".
