Golf Channel signs deal with LPGA

It's about time!

Maybe we'll see more LPGA on TV with this deal . I sure hope so.

Now they should do the same for the Duramed like they do the Nationwide.

And they should balance golfguy with a golfgal!

I think that is a good thing, as long as the Golf Channel doesn't use the same group of anouncers. Faldo.......frickin idiot that toots his own horn, I can hear him now "Well Kelly me dear I would have played that shot as one of those Power Fades and hit it way out there toward the corner" Kelly "yes Nick , You can hit it that way." Need Some new faces or should I say voices on this new venture.

I kind of like the guy and girl who did the TGW commercials last year. They would make the telecasts "interesting." Remember the "tee 'em high" couple?

Faldo got to me when he interviewed Palmer. He was comparing himself to Arnie, i.e., who had won more of this tournament or that, and finally said that his (Faldo's) winery had more choices than Arnie's. To me it looked like Palmer was sitting there thinking why on earth am I here with this guy?

LOL. I thought the same thing. Faldo tries to be more than he really is. He was a good player, no doubt. But when you look at what players have done more for the game of golf, Faldo's name is not in the mix. I'm glad TGC will be picking up LPGA events. I enjoy watching the girls.

Nice that they'll have a steady place and glad it's Golf Channel. Never really liked the ESPN2 coverage and there were way to many weeks without coverage. Come 2010 Fridays on Golf Channel will be all day tournament coverage. I wonder how they will slot them on the weekend though. Will they run them live against the PGA Tour on CBS and NBC, try to get earlier finishes, or do tape delay?

Hey I will take Faldo over Johnny Miller any day!!!

Faldo and tilgh-MAN are terrible, Johnny is a bit rough but pretty damn funny sometimes when he calls it before it happens.

If you're a student of the game, you would be best to listen when Faldo suggests an alternate way to play a shot - jot down the tip in your Course Management book and save it. I won't perfect this game, but I will take whatever management tips arise to get closer.

Anyway, back on topic, the LPGA and GC agreement is great. I really can't wait because I love watching the LPGA. I learn more from the LPGA players than I do than most PGA players mainly because the course is setup a little shorter - similar to what I play being a shorter player and all. I think if most people would follow the LPGA they would see ,that on their local muni courses, they do not need to drive it 300+ yards to nail a good score down.
