We begin at the top when we start in to list the global sporting championships compromised by COVID-19.

But what will we do with … [Read more...]

Monday, May 13 Steve Stricker looks so intelligent and authoritative in his American Family Insurance hat you won't notice he’s bald.

August 13, 2017 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

Everybody knew he was good, and when he earned some luck on No. 10 at the PGA Championship, Justin Thomas began to look like the major champion we predicted he would be, sooner rather than later.

Hometown boy Couples announces for Boeing Classic

August 9, 2017 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

They're putting on a major at Quail Hollow this week without Fred Couples, which -- though he's a fixture at the Masters --is not so unusual these days. So the prospect of Couples playing tournament golf within driving distance of Grey Goatee World HQ is a welcome one and, though it's not a major, … [Read more...]

Hot news, hot golf news, read it while it’s hot

July 31, 2016 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

What we learned in a weekend's worth of golf including two majors and a Web.com non-major that had the world's hottest player going low: Stephan Jaeger, a 27-year-old German, shot 58 Thursday in Hayward, Calif., and went on to blow out the field at the Ellie Mae Classic.

The kid from Resistencia

July 29, 2016 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

Emiliano Grillo, the name you love to say so much that once said in the morning -- once -- you'll randomly call out "EMIliano Grree-oh!" all day, just because it feels so good. He plays so good, too.

A working pro plays the PGA: Part 2

July 27, 2016 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

It wasn’t the drive on No. 12 that led to a triple-bogey and might have blown him out of contention. It wasn’t even the twisting 33-foot make on the 18th green, the biggest putt of his life. Nope.

Spent the morning learning about the legal and other ways to get around the competitive requirements in contracting law and all the ways your ever-vigilant gubmint looks out for you and me to make sure no palms are greased and pockets lined without due process.

A working pro plays the PGA: Part 1

July 26, 2016 By Bart Potter Leave a Comment

Rich Berberian Jr. is the very definition of a working golf professional. Which is why he was on his way to work early in the morning June 30, driving from central New York state to make his 1 p.m. shift at Windham Country Club in Derry, N.H., where he’s an assistant pro. Never mind that his … [Read more...]
