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.

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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
