Golf Channel cover started at 10, CBS at noon - but GC is not showing much golf, yet

I'd love to know what the green speed is today vs. next week.

Boom!

I have only entered the lottery for the Masters the last 2 years, but have not been drawn. I was drawn for the ANWA, and will be there on Saturday. My guess is far less people entered for this tourney

Opening ceremony today and ceremonial first shots
(I think the whole thing took about the same amount of time as JB Holmes to play a shot)

Awful coverage with GC. They apparently think we’d rather watch the commentators talk than watch the women play. Dopes. It’s ironically maddening that they’re talking so much about this being so good for women’s golf yet they’re not letting us watch it. I don’t need to watch Rich Lerner slobber over Augusta. Run your ball washer all you want but we don’t need to watch it. Get the cameras on the golf FFS!!

Yep. Just took a break and came back..they were showing Chamblee talking again ...it’s amazing how stupid they are. They think this is promoting this event? How can these morons think we want to watch the booth talk about the tournament. I’m done with it. Looks like this attempt to promote women’s golf has fallen flat.

Official coverage doesn't start for 20min on NBC.  Golf Channel just does their pre-game look in and random stuff.  I'm sure NBC will BS for 30min before they actually show golf, but really, who's surprised by any of this?

I can’t watch golf (or any sport I guess besides hockey) without my DVR. There are so many commercials almost everything is unwatchable these days.

I wonder how many players @iacas has in this tournament. The ONLY thing I don’t like is that it is during a women’s major.

I think women’s majors need help. IMHO. I think Augusta should have taken one of the women’s majors and made it the masters. It would be great for LPGA. They would then have 3 majors same as the men.

But I get that Augusta has always tried to help and be good to the amateur game.

So only complaint: why is this during a Women’s Major?

I don’t think it would. But I won’t comment why I believe this. It has nothing to do with sexism.

Fair enough, but what do you think of the main point of my post- the ANWA taking place during a Women’s Major?

Are they piping in the birds singing? It’s really prevalent.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Just tuning in...looks like a two horse race at this point. Thought Campos would make it interesting but apparently not.

Yeah that’s a bit of a conundrum. I’m having more interest in the Amateur match but only because it’s Augusta. It seems a bit of an attempt to promote women’s golf in general but I’m sure the LPGA would like those extra viewers as well but they’d catch hell to complain about it so....

I like seeing some of the different camera angles, seeing some holes from a perspective I've not seen before.

But it's still so weird seeing the ladies play this course

      Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ConorHealy · Posted

      Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
