The morning shift

June 19, 2021 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

It's cool to watch the early guys out at the U.S. Open on Saturday, like a couple lean young kids who made the cut on the number and had the Grey Goatee Research geeks scrambling (in a manner of speaking). Watch and appreciate. Wilco Nienaber averaged 350-plus off the tee in the first two … [Read more...]

Matsuyama gets it done

April 11, 2021 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

Xander Schauffele made a distressing triple at 16 after a run of birdies and a Matsuyma bogey had him knocking. Boris closed with a birdie, good enough for solo second. So syllables aside, and Hideki Matsuyama has a cluster, he's the Masters champion. It's history enough that Matsuyama is the … [Read more...]

Sunday with Boris at the Masters

April 11, 2021 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

If he's not Boris, he oughta be. Some people call him Will, but what parents named Zalatoris would call their kid Will? That's just weird. Matsuyama is pretty dominant, but the kid Boris playing his first Masters is the story. Nobody else is pushing Hideki Matsuyama, and he won't likely catch … [Read more...]

Georgia, oh Georgia

Headlines you will never read: CBS joins Georgia boycott, cancels Masters affiliation Prominent tour players join Georgia boycott, skip Masters Georgia legislature votes to feed the hungry and clothe the naked Gov. Kemp signs 'Matthew 25:36 Act' into law, says, 'Of course I support my … [Read more...]

Mobley Bros edition

March 30, 2021 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

Somewhere during his journalism studies at Southern Cal and a career as sportswriter, sports editor and desk man, my friend Gordie's worldview diverged from mine pretty severely to the point we can't be friends on the Colossal Social Networking Platform (CNSP) because we can't be civil about our … [Read more...]

News of the day

February 24, 2021 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

We never knew the label, size or ring gauge of the product (allegedly) enjoyed by Big Bubba Clinton in infamous ways back in the pre-impeachment White House of the ‘90s, nor did we know the club selection on that night in 2009 when a then-spouse (allegedly) took a swing at Tiger Woods’ cheatin’ head … [Read more...]

Unforced edition

February 3, 2021 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

In the court of public opinion, Patrick Reed is like a case thrown out by a judge who never sees the evidence because there isn't any. He's like not wearing a mask in a pandemic because it diminishes his freedom, never mind that it might save lives -- an error, unforced and unnecessary, and … [Read more...]

April in mid-autumn

November 13, 2020 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

AUGUSTA – It’s the best light in the imaginable universe, right now, near twilight, this sharp-shadowed clear-eyed November in Georgia. I’m not seeing it in person, nor are you, and even knowing what we know about all they do to be television-ready for the most famous American golf tournament, it … [Read more...]

Slothism

November 7, 2020 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

I vowed when I went to bed Tuesday and it looked bleak for our side that I would cut off all my friends who gloated when the jerk won and I would disengage from all politics and work hard for good in my community and be kinder to all living things and healthier in mind and body and, of course, drink … [Read more...]

Finales

October 22, 2020 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

Today, members of the sporting press will aim their popguns at the thousand new bunkers (it would seem) and resist distraction from grand new sightlines at the remodeled Sand Point Country Club in Seattle. The re-do was undertaken by David McLay Kidd, whose portfolio of golf architecture (Bandon … [Read more...]
