Devil Ball Golf - Golf

It's Devil Ball Golfcast time, and today we welcome a golfing legend, Jim Colbert. He's one of the more fascinating characters on Tour, having found his stride once he hit the Champions Tour.

Colbert -- it's "Col-bert," not "Col-bear," Comedy Central fans -- won eight times on the PGA Tour and already has 20 wins on the Champions, and he's one of the most eloquent defenders of the Champions arrangement. He's also a rabid Kansas State fan and has his own golf course, Colbert Hills, in Kansas -- the story of which leads to a good story contained herein. He also spent time broadcasting for ESPN, and today kicks back and plays golf when he feels like it. A good life, all the way around.

As always, we welcome your thoughts, ideas, and recommendations on the podcast. Hit me up at jay.busbee@yahoo.com. Click the link below to play the podcast or right-click it to download, and hit the iTunes site linked below to subscribe. Have at it!

    When Colbert went into the old Seniors tour, there was a period , a vacuum really of top tier players...those that had been on top were older and fading...He was a so, so player on the regular tour, as attested by his record...He just hit the Seniors at the right time...STUB

    I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Colbert once and there was never a more pleasurable person too be around. I wish more people were like him. I hope to see him play in the near furture.
