Present tense

June 15, 2022 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

Right about now, in a normal year, Phil Mickelson would be chatting up his annual attempt to win the U.S. Open, the only major he hasn't won, and that would be the only real topic, and he'd be charming, if you like his kind of shtick, like he was auditioning, as always, for the network analyst job … [Read more...]

Matsuyama gets it done

April 11, 2021 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

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.
