We greying goats of the Association look good on paper. We have all the metrics. Our SARs (strokes above replacement) are all high, or low, whichever is better, nobody quite knows. Our CRS is off the charts ... we think the letters stand for Crown Royal Shots, and whether that's true or not, we act … [Read more...]
At Edgefield, the golf is on the grounds and in the groove
TROUTDALE, Ore. -- It's just a little bit of a golf course, a buck a hole or so, very Edgefield, very McMenamins. If you live some place other than the Northwest portion of Grey Goatee Nation, you might not know of the McMenamins' business model for eating, drinking and lodging establishments. That … [Read more...]
The back way in
CARSON CITY, Nev. -- I left The Carson Cigar Company with a buzz in my brain and gratitude in my heart for a good martini and the bartender who built it, and it's no small thing to get all that and smoke a cigar, too, in one darkly well-lit place during normal business hours.

Global Hypocrisy Tour (GHT)

Sort of like today, when the PGA Tour accepted sufficient billions from Saudi Arabia to execute a screaming-tire U-turn and merge its acronym … [Read more...]
Global Golf Calendar: Simplicity edition
This afternoon, Brandel Chamblee is as usual liking the sound of his own voice a little more than anybody listening, including the guys sitting with him on the Golf Channel set in front of a green screen that might actually be a window onto Augusta National Golf Club.

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
1:25 a.m. GGMT (Grey Goatee Mean Time) JoeRob Biden is in the Middle East right now with a complicated itinerary and a crowded agenda that maybe won’t have the LIV Golf Tour as a central talking point when he hunkers down with Crown Prince Sheikh Yerbootie Mohammed Bin Salman of Saudi Arabia but … [Read more...]
Why not?
Herewith the reasons these players who could win The Open Championship will not win The Open Championship (2022 LIV-challenged edition): Brooks Koepka: Too big a jerk Phil Mickelson: Who cares? Jon Rahm: Butt's too big Patrick Reed: Too LIV to live Tiger Woods: Too … [Read more...]
Present tense
Right about now, in a normal year, Phil Mickelson would be chatting up his annual attempt to win the U.S. Open, the only major he hasn't won, and that would be the only real topic, and he'd be charming, if you like his kind of shtick, like he was auditioning, as always, for the network analyst job … [Read more...]
