It’s Spieth in his Under Armour

July 23, 2017 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

(2 p.m. Grey Goatee Mean Time) Which was better: Jordan Spieth's four-hole, 5-under spree on the back nine to retake the lead? Or Henrik Stenson making everything he looked at last year at The Open because he had to, just because Mickelson was nearly as good? I'd hate to choose, and the good thing … [Read more...]

Royal Birkdale, of a fashion

July 22, 2017 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

6:11 a.m. GGMT (Grey Goatee Mean Time); 2:11 p.m. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time),  Southport, England Henrik Stenson, Champion Golfer of the Year until somebody takes it from him, was uncharacteristically sloppy Friday. I'm not talking about his clothes, mind you. His threads, by Hugo Boss, just … [Read more...]

To the Bland go the spoils?

July 21, 2017 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

We tried to activate the crack Grey Goatee Research scrimshankers today, which is to say we interrupted whatever it was they were doing, which might be too much information, if you get my meaning, if you catch my drift. The question seemed reasonable: Who is Richard Bland and what was he doing … [Read more...]

A single-length post

July 21, 2017 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

 We wrote this about Bryson DeChambeau late last year in a post on golf-club technician Craig Foster: (Foster) wasn’t taken by surprise when Cobra Golf, a few weeks back, announced its new King F7 One Length and King F7 Forged One Length iron sets featuring traditional … [Read more...]

The women’s game

July 2, 2017 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

If you're not watching the women's game, you're missing  out on the most fascinating golf in the industry. Today's KPMG Women's PGA Championship at Olympia Fields in Illinois, just for instance, had it all going on, and the best part, watching on our television sets, was nobody among the … [Read more...]

Is that a bread crust? Will it make me happy?

Is that a bread crust? Will it make me happy?

I can't say I know what a happy yak is supposed to look like, but I think now I'll know an unhappy yak when I see one. I have to think happiness, relative to its opposite, is far outside the existential ruminations of the yak, and the wildebeest, too, which is what I thought all those yaks … [Read more...]

Lefty loosey-goosey on first day

July 15, 2016 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

6:45 p.m. Troon time; 10:45 a.m. GGMT Jason Day, plus-2. Jordan Spieth, level par. Dustin Johnson, level par. Rory McIlroy, minus-2. Phil Mickelson … not much in the conversation.  Until his bogey-free, course-record 63 Thursday at Royal Troon put his name on every tongue, and it could have been … [Read more...]

Pot bunkers happen

July 14, 2016 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

6:37 a.m. Troon time; 10:37 p.m. last night GGMT (Grey Goatee Mean Time) It wasn't like Johnny Miller didn't warn us: The pot bunkers at Royal Troon are nasty and plentiful, and it took Colin Montgomerie two swings to find one. It took another two to get out on the way to a double-bogey on the golf … [Read more...]

Grey around the edges of The Open

July 13, 2016 By Bart Potter 1 Comment

Grey around the edges of The Open

I know we all want to talk about The Open Championship, and we can, if you like, but first a word about the tournament up in Union, Wash., that dares to schedule against it. The tournament, Stop No. 4 on the Grey Goatee Golf Association Tour, is better known worldwide as the Howl at the Canal, … [Read more...]

The Open, Day 2: Will it be Willett?

July 17, 2015 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

2:55 p.m. St Andrews time (6:55 a.m. PDT) He's making it look easy, Danny Willett is, and he's the easy story early in this rain-delayed second round at the Old Course. I'm wondering who he is, too. The things you learn when you check in with the crack Grey Goatee research staff (suddenly … [Read more...]
