Minnehaha explained

September 18, 2019 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

Minnehaha Country Club in South Dakota, which is said to be south of North Dakota, is the site of this weekend's Sanford Invitational for the older gentlemen of the Champions Tour. The name of the club derives, we believe, from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "The Song of Hiawatha," which is … [Read more...]

Participation edition

September 12, 2019 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

The best players in women's golf, which maybe almost not quite passes the straight-face test, are in Scotland this weekend for a little exhibition called the Solheim Cup. The best players in men's golf, which I couldn't say with a straight face if it was paralyzed, flat turned to plaster, are … [Read more...]

Monday Mess: Labor edition

Labor Day, 2019, and the only real work I have to do today is walk the d-o-g in the early-morning f-o-g and the only work he has to do is push out the shit for me to find in the Pampas grass in front of the building across the street from the house where I live with the girls and all the other … [Read more...]

Wait for it …

August 30, 2019 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

The next big thing in big-time men's golf is the Presidents Cup in December, and boy oh boy our boys are eager to win one for the prez in Australia, right there where people remember how our hero alienated the Aussie prime minister over the telephone, butt-dialed him or something, then got pissy … [Read more...]

Do not do the math

August 24, 2019 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

We won't be testing the algorithms and paroxysms and quadralytic equations supporting the new scoring system that will Sunday reward the winner of the FedEx Cup with a big fat check. These are $15 million calculations, and it hurts my head to think about 'em. To the fore comes Ryan … [Read more...]

Day 1: Dunal institutions

August 9, 2019 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

FLORENCE, Ore. -- Bob Rannow hasn't been around Florence-area golf courses nearly as long as the ocean, you know, that one, which you can sniff on the breeze at his current place of work, Ocean Dunes Golf Links. Dude's only 50. The ocean is, like, a kabillion-and-fifty, but it's not talking … [Read more...]

The Tri-Coastal Links Tour

August 8, 2019 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

FLORENCE, Ore. – In the most southernmost slash yet of our annual search for sentient life in the Leftist Coast regions of Grey Goatee Nation, we Roadies are thinking we might get a little fine-grained sand between our wee little toes. Here in Florence, which you can find after many hours of … [Read more...]

Maj. Major edition

July 22, 2019 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

In the limitless wisdom of the schedulers of the big-time professional golf tours, it must have seemed like a good idea to somebody to schedule, this week, a Champions Tour major against an LPGA major. It flat guarantees that constituents of neither will pay attention to the other, which is okay, … [Read more...]

Fleetwood, of a fashion

July 21, 2019 By Bart Potter 1 Comment

We watch, from a safe distance, as the famously astute Grey Goatee Fashion Committee goes about its work. There is much at stake: nothing less, today, than the Champion Dresser of the Year. We wonder, right along with the rest of you, about the committee and its members and their deliberations … [Read more...]

By its whiskey be told

July 21, 2019 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

The best way to think about the difference between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland is not in religious or geopolitical terms, fraught as they are, nor even in terms of golf. As Shane Lowry said, “Everyone knows we’re all one country when it comes to golf.” We wouldn’t argue with the … [Read more...]
