#Golfchat Goes to Potts

Posted on by

Ricky Lee Potts, that is.

This week the most interesting thing in golf is the LPGA CME Group Tour Championship, being held in Naples FL, at the Tiburón Golf Club. Tiburón is a Troon property and the Troon Director of Marketing there is the inimitable Ricky Lee Potts.

Ricky has kindly agreed to be our first ever special guest as we look to expand #Golfchat’s horizons, even temporarily, beyond the latest and greatest cat GIF.

The format for this week will be a little experimental. We’ll ask Ricky to talk a bit about the CME Group Tour Championship, the Tiburón property and his role there. Then we’ll open it up to #Golfchat participants, who will no doubt only ask Ricky intelligent, insightful and cutting-edge questions about the topics at hand.

Of course, being a golf tragic, Ricky will surely be happy to respond to other questions, particularly those relating to his recent visit to the home of golf, St. Andrew’s in Scotland.

Hope to see you all there. Remember #Golfchat is on at 5 PM PST (click this link to get your local time)

#Golfchat Great White Shark Week

Posted on by

12 months ago, Greg Norman promised us a “revolution” in golf.

It turns out that revolution is the “Shark Experience – an entertainment hub to enhance the golf course experience.” Digging deeper for words people actually understand, we find it’s a juiced up golf cart screen with more options than just GPS yardages.

You want a scorecard? You got it! How about live sport (other than that you’re playing yourself)? No problem! Cashless payments (a sexy way of saying “please let us store your credit card info on our platform too”)? Easy!

I wonder if Greg knows smartphones have been doing all that stuff for years…?

What does #Golfchat think?

Tips for good #Golfchat:

  1. Retweet the questions to spread the #Golfchat love and get more people involved
  2. Follow other #Golfchatters and follow back if they follow you.

#Golfchat Crouching Tiger Stinger

Posted on by

Return of the Stinger. #starwars

A post shared by Tiger Woods (@tigerwoods) on


So all sorts of interesting stuff is happening in golf. JT winning for the sixth time. Garcia getting the Masters monkey off his back. Langher eagling the last to win by 1.

Yet if you’re a needle and want to be moved, Tiger is your guy. And all he has to do is post a painfully slow swing video on Instagram.

#Golfchat Tiger Burning Bright

Posted on by

He’s back again after his back again, which means limitless talk about his limited potential with a fused spine. Hopefully it also means limitless use of the #golfchat hashtag.

In more important news, however, the #Golfchat Authors are back in town (with the notable scratching of Tony Dear) discussing the age-old topic, “Millennials are _____ golf” with each author filling in the blank.

#Golfchat Slangs & Arrows

Posted on by

If you’ve played golf, you’ve slung a few choice words over a poor shot. You may have even flung a club. It’s time to confess, so come to the church of #Golfchat and tell us your sins. We don’t mind if you repeat them either…

Those Europeans are continuing to shake things up in the name of golf progress and are planning to introduce a shot clock into the Austrian Open next season.

The PGA Tour moves to Malaysia. Tiger Woods is swinging (clubs) again.
