We don't get the Golf Channel unless upgrading to the digital package

But if you go to the PGA home page http://www.pgatour.com/ they have had a link to a LIVE internet radio broadcast, I listened to the first two days of the Sony Open, and was free. It's XM satellite 146 and this is the first time I've ever heard golf on radio, seems impossible to enjoy, but . . . they do a great job!

There are a lot of interviews and behind the scenes stuff that you don't get as much of on TV.

PGA is also introducing TourCast, an amazing internet service which allows you to track every shot taking place in a tournament, it has so much data and features truly incredible, I'm going to try using it today in the 3rd round. http://www.pgatour.com/tourcast/prom...al_active.html

No network golf on weekends is 'insane', may have to upgrade to Golf Channel, but for now I can really get a feel for what is going on with the radio and the TourCast feature, also have a leaderboard page open able to see the entire field at all times.

In the future when watching network golf I'll have the internet open too for the added features.

I've had the Golf Channel since the end of '95 and I've been listening to XM146 since it came on the air. I like to listen to Peter Kessler's show on the way to the golf course. I Tivo all the episodes of "Playing Lessons With The Pros" and watch them whenever I get the chance. The one where Gary Player gave tips about bunker play really helped me out. I just love to hear what those guys are thinking as they set up for each shot.

Dude, Channel 146 is the best! I'm a heavy commuter, including a lot of middle-of-the-days. It's great to have something to follow the Tour with. They do great. Even the leaderboard scrolls through your radio dial as you're listening!

For someone like me who spends time in the car, the XM has saved my bacon by keeping me up on the latest of whatever tourney is on.

I also like the interviews and their stories are somewhat relelvant. They teach you a lot about the players and their backgrounds - not their favorite color or something stupid that TV announcers do.

I only wish they had more foreign announcers. The accent sounds so cool!

I was on the road for last year's Open Championship and the 2005 US Open. I listened to the XM146 coverage for both tournaments and I thought it was great. I didn't feel like I missed anything by not watching it on TV.

      Day 129: 5/4/24 Stack training but could not certify my warmup speed. Dealing with a pulled neck muscle. Chips and pitches at a local course for about 15 minutes.

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By mchepp ·

      Typically less than 50. I find this can be affected by the "CART" signs on a given course. I don't like taking my rangefinder out of the cart and carrying it around to the green. I am very fearful I will leave it somewhere.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By JetFan1983 ·

      First ever holed out greenside bunker shot! It's crazy it took this long to finally get one during a round, but the cold streak is officially over. Hole 6 on the Palmer Course at PGAN. I hit my driver like 225 into a really stiff wind, then worm burned a hybrid into the bunker. I was about I dunno, 40-45 feet away. Birdie! Let's go! The red Xs the approximate location of each shot.  Really fun!!

      Day 23: Rained all day, so no ball hitting. Worked indoors on top of the backswing feel, and also putted around the living room working on bead.

      Played Four Oaks in Dracut today going back to the 2 man scramble match play format. My brother and I shot a team 81 winning 3 and 2. Had so many good shots today using a more centered turn. Seems to have really iginited my golf game. We'll see if I can keep it going.
