Minnehaha explained

September 18, 2019 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

Minnehaha Country Club in South Dakota, which is said to be south of North Dakota, is the site of this weekend's Sanford Invitational for the older gentlemen of the Champions Tour. The name of the club derives, we believe, from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "The Song of Hiawatha," which is … [Read more...]

The best players in women's golf, which maybe almost not quite passes the straight-face test, are in Scotland this weekend for a little exhibition called the Solheim Cup. The best players in men's golf, which I couldn't say with a straight face if it was paralyzed, flat turned to plaster, are … [Read more...]

The next big thing in big-time men's golf is the Presidents Cup in December, and boy oh boy our boys are eager to win one for the prez in Australia, right there where people remember how our hero alienated the Aussie prime minister over the telephone, butt-dialed him or something, then got pissy … [Read more...]

Omaha Beach was scratched from Saturday’s Kentucky Derby, meaning, among other things, that he won’t win the Triple Crown but might otherwise expect a decent career as an elite thoroughbred racer before retiring to the barn to party like a stud pony. I know you or I, faced with the same life … [Read more...]

Kevin Durant said he was sorry this week after he was party to two double technicals and got himself ejected in a playoff loss to the Clippers … not sorry that he did it or how it hurt his team or offended anybody watching, just sorry, for himself, I guess, that he revealed his true self … [Read more...]

Pernilla Lindberg isn't big, at 5-foot-5, so she's no Big Swede out of Sweden, the Scandinavian country in Scandinavia, but she can claim a professional major on her resume, which puts her in the company of countrypersons Annika Sorenstam and Henrik Stenson, the original Big Swede. Lindberg is … [Read more...]

The LPGA is playing this week at the Wildfire Golf Club at JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort and Spa, the longest golf course name in the known world, which only means the LPGA has too many sponsors it's trying to appease. Maybe they're overthinking it. Maybe not. I like to think like my … [Read more...]

You've seen the ads for Justin Rose and his move to Honma clubs. The Japanese luxury brand inked Rose, then the World No. 2, on the first day of the New Year. Rose is now World No. 1, and smashed right through any break-in angst over his shiny new sticks by winning with them at the Farmers week … [Read more...]

June 27, 2018 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

Two professional majors -- the LPGA's and the USGA's -- go head-to-head this weekend, which guarantees neither tournament will get the attention both deserve. At the end of the day, the Golf Channel won't be leading with either of them. The PGA Tour has a lightweight field at a non-major stop in … [Read more...]

If it's a typo, and it sure seems like it, it's been repeated in all the places they're writing about the Women's U.S. Open. Placed a call to the crack Grey Goatee Research Cult: It's not a typo. Jeongeun Lee might not be the only Jeongeun Lee in the field, but  after an opening-round 67, … [Read more...]
