Entrapped epiglottis edition

Omaha Beach was scratched from Saturday’s Kentucky Derby, meaning, among other things, that he won’t win the Triple Crown but might otherwise expect a decent career as an elite thoroughbred racer before retiring to the barn to party like a stud pony. I know you or I, faced with the same life … [Read more...]

Of galleries and geese

Pernilla Lindberg isn't big, at 5-foot-5, so she's no Big Swede out of Sweden, the Scandinavian country in Scandinavia, but she can claim a professional major on her resume, which puts her in the company of countrypersons Annika Sorenstam and Henrik Stenson, the original Big Swede. Lindberg is … [Read more...]

What’s in my bag?

February 5, 2019 By Bart Potter 1 Comment

You've seen the ads for Justin Rose and his move to Honma clubs. The Japanese luxury brand inked Rose, then the World No. 2, on the first day of the New Year. Rose is now World No. 1, and smashed right through any break-in angst over his shiny new sticks by winning with them at the Farmers week … [Read more...]

Women’s edition

May 31, 2018 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

If it's a typo, and it sure seems like it, it's been repeated in all the places they're writing about the Women's U.S. Open. Placed a call to the crack Grey Goatee Research Cult: It's not a typo. Jeongeun Lee might not be the only Jeongeun Lee in the field, but  after an opening-round 67, … [Read more...]

Make my julep with Herradura

May 4, 2018 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

 A couple career journeymen teamed  to claim the title last weekend at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

It’s problematic

April 10, 2018 By Bart Potter 1 Comment

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 private.  Nobody … [Read more...]

Major ramifications

March 29, 2018 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

Leave it to the women, demonstrably more clever in all things than men in general, to put on the first major of the professional goffin' season. Officially, it's the ANA Inspiration in Rancho Mirage, but you can call it the Dinah. Eun-Hi Jee stamped herself a contender with a victory last … [Read more...]
