Solheim Coverage Puts Me to Sleep

[shakespeare]

I love The Golf Channel, but holy moley are these guys snoozers. They're taking an exciting event, in my mind the most exciting, and sounding like they're announcing some junior tournament. I always complained about Jimmy Roberts little pieces at the majors, but maybe that helps get me going. It just need a little enthusiasm from them. Come on... Anyone disagree?

No disagreement here. They're doing a pretty darn shitty job if you ask me.

i'll watch it when it comes on NBC on the weekends..(are they carrying it?) You know I'm surprised they aren't adding any type of background music.

NBC won't be covering it this weekend. It's strictly on The Golf Channel.

OK it's not hyperbole anymore. I actually did fall asleep watching today. I've never fallen asleep during the Ryder Cup or the Masters. I know it isn't the chicks either because I love women, and I especially love good women golfers that are good looking (Cristie Kerr, Natalie Gulbis, Paula Creamer, Karin Koch, Laura Diaz, etc.).

They don't talk about gamesmanship. They rarely talk about how exciting a shot is. They don't talk about any of the interesting things that match play brings on. They call it like it's the first or second round of an average old LPGA Tournament.

It's embarrassing. I want to be excited. I want to be, and I'm trying to be in spite of the tv coverage. But it just ain't happenin'.

I feel a rant coming on.

I personally don't need any announcing to enjoy a team competition the magnitude of the Solheim Cup. As long as I can see some fist pumps from the players and hear the cheers of the crowd, I am just fine.

I think announcing is way overrated to be honest, and I've never been one to really give a crap who is announcing.

I've enjoyed the Solheim Cup thoroughly, and I have some positive things to write about it for this week.

It looks like I'm in the minority here, but that's ok. It won't be the first time.
