Golf for Scotty G -- We do what we can, which isn't much, but we can play golf, and we will, at a little benefit tournament April 28 at Capitol City Golf Club in Lacey, Wash. The forecast calls for a lot of kind and generous people stepping up for our friend Scott Geist, who's up against … [Read more...]
It’s problematic
They say "problematic" is a trending word and concept in our culture of the now. I think it's supposed to call out how conflicted we feel about a good movie by a director who's a dirtbag with women, or the public achievements of a civil rights leader who does his abusing in … [Read more...]

Gather 'round to hear this tale of a fabulous charity auction, a celebration of wealth, beauty and celebrity, a gathering of spirits in a setting so grand and dazzling as to bring tears to your eyes.

Mastery
He works in gubmint in his FDJ*, like the proprietor. When Steve Valandra asks, "Why is 'stakeholder' even discussed in golf?", I know he's been listening to the Golf Channel talking heads.

Monday murmuring
Justin Thomas had another "fuck, yeah" moment on 18 Sunday in Mexico City, holing out for eagle from 121 yards to take a sudden two-stroke lead to the clubhouse. Phil Mickelson made a routine birdie on 15 and a clutch birdie putt on 16 to force a playoff and set up an "oh, fuck" moment for Thomas -- … [Read more...]
And the winner is …
With the biggest and bling-iest show of the movie awards season coming up Sunday, it seems only right and fitting (like a 48 extra-long green jacket on Justin Thomas) to offer a look at some of the golf course industry's annual awards, The Grainys, from the January issue of the trade mag … [Read more...]
