The Nicklaus Nine

February 25, 2016 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

LAKEWOOD, Wash. -- One is a Northwest icon, universally respected by his fellow pros but not a household name in the greater world of golf. The other is Jack.

No, the Ryder Cup is next year

October 8, 2015 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

TACOMA, Wash. -- They say the greens are PGA Tour-caliber ...  and "they" are Tour players.

The waiting months

September 30, 2015 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

Jordan Spieth is rich, so is his caddy (appreciably less, but not bad for a looper), and the world now moves on to the Presidents Cup, which is not the Ryder Cup but has a little more zing this time because Jason Day and Rory McIlroy will be playing for the other guys.

A vision in orange

The snapback cap is and always will be dorky. even on King Felix, but it's hard to call Ricky Fowler a dork after he won his second PGA Tour tournament of the year Sept. 6, at a time on the calendar when any victory counts for a lot.
