8:35 a.m. You dry-eyed cynics who find haven in Grey Goatee Nation -- we get you -- watched Tiger Woods tee off on 18 this morning at St Andrews. You watched him walk across the bridge o'er Swilcan Burn, perhaps for the last time as an active player. He's hurt, and we hurt for him, and you -- we … [Read more...]
Wake ’em if you want to be insulted
July 14, 9:30 a.m. GGMT (Grey Goatee Mean Time) We have the answer to the obvious question, i.e., who is Cameron Young? but only after a little constructive feedback from the Grey Goatee Research geeks, to wit: "If you don't know (and you should, dumb shit), why should we tell you?" I didn't … [Read more...]
Sheikh yer money-maker

The morning shift
It's cool to watch the early guys out at the U.S. Open on Saturday, like a couple lean young kids who made the cut on the number and had the Grey Goatee Research geeks scrambling (in a manner of speaking). Watch and appreciate. Wilco Nienaber averaged 350-plus off the tee in the first two … [Read more...]
