We’ll have our recap of last night’s COMETS-barons Game 7 up later tonight. In the meantime, never let it be said that we don’t engage in self-effacing humor here:) Send in your captions too. Winner gets their’s published. AND KEEP IT CLEAN PEOPLE:) The best so far… 10. I had one drink with Jay and look what happened. 9. Who’s that...
“It just keeps getting better and better,” says every member, every day. MARCY, NY – Autumn comes early along I-90. Even by Labor Day the tops of the trees already lighten from verdant green to a gilded, burnished gold. By the equinox, it was sweater and jackets weather as the cool evening air and chilly rains began to set in, yet still grateful...
Not the best way to start Ryder Cup week or to celebrate my birthday, but my mentor, one of my advisors, and the man for whom I was a star pupil, Professor Jack Chatfield of Trinity College, passed away from cancer yesterday. For four decades he was, metaphorically, the entire American History faculty at the school and was unquestionably the whole Colonial America...
It’s time for Jay’s Birthday celebrations once again, and this year’s festivities will be as much fun for you as for me. We’ll have golf and music – what else? Oh yeah, girls and suhi:) This year we’ll be reporting live from Forsgate, Union Vale, and Seize sur Vingt! See you all weekend with reports live from the Bacchinalia that...
We’ll return to sports this weekend. In light of the terrible events abroad, let’s be reminded of why we need to stick together…

PINEHURST, NC – [Editor’s Note: Jay is missing his 25th college reunion at his beloved Trinity College in Connecticut, but wrote this tournament recap in letter form to his classmates so he could be with them in spirit. Go! Fight Win!] Dear Classmates: Greetings from the bucolic splendor of Pinehurst, North Carolina – where even the convenience...
Meet Will Carpenter, (no relation to Nancy!). Will and his friends show why golf fans are the most creative in the world. See the logo on his shirt? That’s a turtle back green (Ross’s specialty). It’s all the rage at Pinehurst this week. Moreover, as the broadcast continues, listen for the fans yelling, “Donald!!” Any time a balls rolls...
We’d like to take time out to thank our sponsors this week, without whom Jay live from Pinehurst would not be possible. First there’s Seize sur Vingt, fine Clothiers of New York and L.A. James “Fantastic” Jurney goes toe-to-toe with France, Italy, England, and every other country’s best apparelists and blows them back to from whence they...
It’s tomorrow night! Jay Flemma and Friends! Ralph Wimbish of the Post, Kevin Cook of Sports Illustrated, and Jeff Neuman of the Met Golfer! Plus new features the Caption Contest and Jay’s Question Jar, as well as the long-awaited return of Bridge of Death, where audience members win prizes or get cast into the Gorge of Eternal Peril:):) There’ll be...
Holy ancient artifacts, Batman! Look at this old school Byron Nelson press badge Melanie Hauser found! Wicked cool! (Or I guess “Neat-O!” might be more apropos.) Tom Watson won, for those of you scoring at home.
It’s only happened twice in my ten years as a golf writer: when the mail came to my law office, a golf book arrived and I dropped what I was doing to start reading it. The first time was Dan Jenkins’s Jenkins at the Majors. It was on my desk at 3:30 p.m. and by the time I looked up it was 11:00. This time it was John Hopkins’s Fore! – like...
We lost two important men in golf last week. Frank Hannigan, former executive director of the U.S.G.A. passed away at age 82. We also both wrote for Golf Observer during the heady, halcyon days of a nascent golf scene on the Internet. Frank was grace and class all the way. The entire golf world is united in mourning him. We also lost George Bahto, the dry cleaner...
FOREST HILLS, NY – Everything is turning up aces for New York City restaurant maven Tim Ducey, owner of the newest, hottest tavern in Queens, Acey Ducey. With wildly creative spins on typical American comfort food classics as well as modern dishes reflecting more upscale tastes, Acey Ducey is so much more than just a place to come watch the game and have a few...
Here’s a rockin’ birthday jam for our basketball and baseball extern/correspondent. We luv ya around here, even though the latest article is just a little bit late:) Remember! 10,000 words by deadline Sunday! And no bogus journalism, dammit! I want some discipline on that desk! Does the name Vince Lombardi mean anything n this town???
And while the shepherds lay in their field an angel of The Lord appeared to them and they were afraid. But he said “fear not for I bring you glad tidings of great joy. For today in the city of David a savior is born and he will save you from all your sins.” Then, suddenly the sky was filled with a great light and host of heavenly angels appeared and sang...
