Global Golf Calendar: Grey and green edition

April 10, 2024 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

They don't call us The Masters for nothing. We wise old heads of the Grey Goatee Golf Association go head-to-head this weekend with a nice little invitational tournament down in Augusta. They call theirs a major. We call ours THE major of the global golf season so far, just as it has been every … [Read more...]

Global Hypocrisy Tour (GHT)

June 6, 2023 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

Throw enough money at Americans and they can ignore state-sponsored terrorism, brutal repression of women and girls, and murder, just as easily as anybody. Sort of like today, when the PGA Tour accepted sufficient billions from Saudi Arabia to execute a screaming-tire U-turn and merge its acronym … [Read more...]

Global Golf Calendar: Simplicity edition

April 5, 2023 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

This afternoon, Brandel Chamblee is as usual liking the sound of his own voice a little more than anybody listening, including the guys sitting with him on the Golf Channel set in front of a green screen that might actually be a window onto Augusta National Golf Club. He's doing that thing … [Read more...]

Moist

8:35 a.m. You dry-eyed cynics who find haven in Grey Goatee Nation -- we get you -- watched Tiger Woods tee off on 18 this morning at St Andrews. You watched him walk across the bridge o'er Swilcan Burn, perhaps for the last time as an active player. He's hurt, and we hurt for him, and you -- we … [Read more...]

Wake ’em if you want to be insulted

July 14, 2022 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

July 14, 9:30 a.m. GGMT (Grey Goatee Mean Time) We have the answer to the obvious question, i.e., who is Cameron Young? but only after a little constructive feedback from the Grey Goatee Research geeks, to wit: "If you don't know (and you should, dumb shit), why should we tell you?" I didn't … [Read more...]

Sheikh yer money-maker

July 14, 2022 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

1:25 a.m. GGMT (Grey Goatee Mean Time) JoeRob Biden is in the Middle East right now with a complicated itinerary and a crowded agenda that maybe won’t have the LIV Golf Tour as a central talking point when he hunkers down with Crown Prince Sheikh Yerbootie Mohammed Bin Salman of Saudi Arabia but … [Read more...]

Why not?

July 13, 2022 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

Herewith the reasons these players who could win The Open Championship will not win The Open Championship (2022 LIV-challenged edition): Brooks Koepka: Too big a jerk Phil Mickelson: Who cares? Jon Rahm: Butt's too big Patrick Reed: Too LIV to live Tiger Woods: Too … [Read more...]

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...]

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...]
