  We show that the Borel resummed perturbative static potential at N_f=0
converges well, and is in a remarkable agreement with the quenched lattice
calculation at distances 1/r > 660 MeV. This shows that Borel resummation is
very good at handling the renormalon in the static potential (and in the pole
mass), and allows one to use the pole mass in perturbative calculation of heavy
quark physics.
