I wanted to watch Feherty and company? I wish more sports networks would go to this.

No offense intended (warning: that means I'm about to offend you!) to anybody who watched it but ...

Why the ***k would somebody watch a show of some people yapping about a big event that you are interested in watching WHILE said big event is going on somewhere else???

That doesn't make any sense to me.

Because there's a decent chance this sort of commentary would be more entertaining than regular coverage. This format allows the announcers to free flow more than the NBC announcers. Also, I bet they were cracking jokes and were not having to be so polite. The thought of Feherty and Company cracking jokes and telling stories might have been funny to listen to. I bet the Americans on the set were allowed to cheer like fans. So, this format would have been like watching golf with your buddies. I like the out of the box thinking.

They didn't show any of the coverage, though, right? They were just sitting around talking, and occasionally showing something on a replay. No?

I did not, but I could see someone flipping to it when there were commercials on the other channel..  Actually seems like it would be a natural for picture-in-picture.

Actually it sounds more like NOT watching golf with your buddies.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

They used a split screen during the Alternate Shot program to air the"live" action while Feherty and others were on camera, but they often talked over or totally ignored what was happening live at the time.  Didn't find the talking heads on Alternate Shot interesting.  So, I just watched the actual event on NBC but had to switch back to Golf Channel, after the last match was completed to see the award ceremony and the infamous US press conference, when NBC's coverage (and the Alternate Shot program) ended.

Thanks for filling us in on how they actually did Alternate Shot.  I used to be a fan of the old Mystery Science 3000 shows. I was hoping that this would be just as entertaining.  It doesn't sound like it.

Now that would be time well spent!

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
