The Grantland story “Dr. V’s Magical Putter,” published last Wednesday and initially widely praised on social media, ended up this weekend at the center of one of the most heated ethical discussions around a sports story I’ve ever seen.
I won’t recap the whole episode here because the whole point of this post is that I want you to go read up on it so you can learn from it. But I’m planning to talk about it for two days, so, very briefly:
Writer Caleb Hannan, curious about a “revolutionary” putter, looked into its mysterious inventor, Essay Anne Vanderbilt, known as Dr. V, who agreed to cooperate as long as the story was about the club, not its inventor. Hannan found that Dr. V had lied about her scientific credentials, and also that she was a trans woman.
