BONK Golf: November 2025 Update – Crushing It On and Off the Course
November has been an absolute heater for the BONK Golf family. From podium finishes and national championships to new gear dropping and big moves behind the scenes, Team BONK is out here proving why we're building the boldest brand in golf. Let's break it all down.
Emma Lewis Brings Home Hardware at the Dutchmen Fall Invitational
Emma Lewis (Bloomsburg University '26) just keeps stacking wins. At the 2025 Dutchmen Fall Invitational, Emma battled tough conditions and walked away with a hard-earned **2nd place** trophy. Regularly Rocking BONK hats and that signature smile, she reminded everyone why college golf needs more BONK energy. Proud doesn't even cover it – Emma is the definition of clutch and she’s hilarious too.
(Shoutout to Emma for the killer photo – nothing beats fall golf vibes with a trophy in hand!)
Young Guns Lighting Up the Leaderboards
The future is BONK, and these kids are proof:
- Sam Frishman– This junior phenom is on fire. Top-100 finish in the 11-12 boys division at the 2025 Under Armour World Championship (shooting 77-85), **2025 Detroit Golf Club Junior Club Champion (17 & under)**, and a strong 4th overall in the 12-year-old boys Fall Season on US Kids Golf. Sam reps the youth snapbacks better than anyone – keep grinding, kid!
Bryson Chang – Fresh off a podium at the Monterey Challenge, Bryson fired an impressive **-6 to take 3rd place**. At just 9 years old, this Seattle-area ripper is already turning heads. We have come to expect great things from Bryson, such a great young talent.
Olivia Barnes – One of the most exciting young talents we're backing. Olivia just competed in the PKBGT/Notah Begay III Girls National Championship (Nov 2-4) and has Golf Channel highlights dropping **December 16th – mark your calendars!** She also hopped on a podcast this week and took on three grown men in a scramble… safe to say she's the horse to bet on. Olivia, we're locked in for the ride.
Doug Piesko & his “Tee Times”Head to LA for $300K Golfzon Showdown
Metro Detroit represent! Our guy **Doug Piesko** and the **Tee Times** squad (all local hammers) are packing their BONK lids and heading to Los Angeles next week for the Golfzon Tour finals. Two teams left – Toronto and Detroit – battling for a massive **$300,000 prize pot** put up by the Golfzon owner himself. The season kicked off in August, and these boys have been grinding simulator
Iain Lowdean – Crushing It over the pond
Big things happening for our Scottish swing guru Iain Lowdean! This month marks exactly **three years** since Iain welcomed his very first online subscriber. Fast-forward to today and he’s now delivered an incredible **7,815 online lessons** (and that’s after already doing 120 lessons before he even started counting subscribers!). The man is officially a coaching machine.
Iain is also making some major life (and golf) upgrades: he’s moving house and installing a full golf simulator setup at home, which means you can expect a massive ramp-up in content – think daily swing tips, SIM challenges, and behind-the-scenes looks at how he’s helping juniors all over the world drop shots like it’s their job.
Speaking of juniors worldwide, Iain just signed on as the official **Scottish representative for Golf Scholarship USA**… but really he’s their full-on international rep because his students span the globe. If you’re a junior (or parent of one) looking for college golf opportunities in the States, Iain is now your direct line in the UK and beyond.
Keep an eye on @iainlowdeangolf – with the new SIM fired up, the content floodgates are about to open. Proud to have this legend repping Team Bonk! 🏴💪

A Fond Farewell to the OG: Mike "The Builder" Bezilla and official Bonk weather man (an actual meteorologist).
Bittersweet moment – after two epic seasons, **Mike "The Builder" Bezilla** is stepping away from competitive FlingGolf and Team BONK. Mike leaves as a legend: a Pro-Am win in Capon Springs, WV, personal bests in singles and doubles, and always the loudest energy in the room. In his words:
> "After two very fun seasons on Team Bonk, I have decided to step away from competitive FlingGolf and thus Team Bonk. Thank you everyone at Bonk for the support these last two years – I hope for all the success in the world for the Team and the brand! Best damn hats in the business! TEAM BONK #ftw!"
Mike, the door's always open, brother. Thanks for helping build this thing. Legends never leave – they just reload.
That's a Wrap on November
From college podiums to junior dominance, simulator finals, and new gear flying off the shelves – BONK Golf is just getting started. Huge thank you to everyone wearing the lid, swinging the clubs, and believing in the movement.
Stay BONK. Stay loud. See you on the course.
