Pain control

January 23, 2018 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

Jon Rahm is not the story at the Farmers Insurance Open this week, and won't be any sooner than Saturday, even though he's defending champion, even if he's leading the tournament, even if he did supplant Jordan Spieth  at No. 2 in the World Goffin' Rankings with a playoff victory last weekend … [Read more...]

Back on the horse

January 17, 2018 By Bart Potter 3 Comments

Tom Hoge missed putts on the 16th, 17th and 18th holes Sunday in Honolulu, and all they did was lose him a golf tournament. Hoge, the 54-hole leader at the Sony Open, finished a shot out of a playoff -- close, sliver close, to his first PGA Tour victory. Hoge had a one-stroke lead heading to … [Read more...]

Prep work

January 11, 2018 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

So I wonder, then, if I'm not old, why all I talk about are "procedures," friends who are sick, and incarcerating or otherwise caring for our parents prior to burying them. It's enough to make a guy hide his head ... preferably, if it came to that, in a greenside bunker of fine white sand in … [Read more...]

Spine detection edition

November 29, 2017 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

T. Woods says his pain is behind him. I believe it's back there, all right, chasing him. He's playing in this weekend's Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, and the field is strong. Woods will be paired the first day with Justin Thomas, just one of the guns in the sun looking, even now, to … [Read more...]

Hometown boy Couples announces for Boeing Classic

August 9, 2017 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

They're putting on a major at Quail Hollow this week without Fred Couples, which -- though he's a fixture at the Masters --is not so unusual these days. So the prospect of Couples playing tournament golf within driving distance of Grey Goatee World HQ is a welcome one and, though it's not a major, … [Read more...]

Texas time

May 22, 2017 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

We wrote this about Billy Horschel back in September 2015: Yeah, Horschel. Got lost in the shuffle at the end of the FedEx Cup playoffs last year, and that’s after he won it. Won the $10 million. Won two straight tournaments at the end of the playoffs, and he was called a symptom of the worst … [Read more...]

Washington’s open

May 3, 2017 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

KENT, Wash. -- They let the dirty media in to chew up their golf course Tuesday, and the playing grounds held up under the pounding and hacking and grinding. The quiet early-May light showed off the angular sightlines of Meridian Valley Country Club to good advantage, and though we … [Read more...]

Arnie’s week

March 15, 2017 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

The first Arnold Palmer Invitational since the man himself died last year will be a little light on glamor but heavy in youthful talent, which is about the way it is every week. The young talent goes deep on today's PGA Tour, and when you get down to No. 51 in the World Golf Rankings (for now) you … [Read more...]

D. Johnson, your Masters favorite

March 5, 2017 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

It begins to seem like Dustin Johnson should never lose a golf tournament. When he’s striking it and creating around the greens and making putts, there’s no one as good. He can beat himself, and nearly did over a shaky few holes near the end Sunday at Club de Golf Chapultepec. We know, … [Read more...]

The Hawaii swing

January 9, 2017 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

Here in the World HQ of Grey Goatee Nation, we stare at a forecast for several inches of snow, and we sigh. A round of golf in the sunshine is a prospect seen only dimly down the days. Thus we consider the PGA Tour, which annually opens the New Year with back-to-backers in Hawaii, the … [Read more...]
