If it wasn't a power failure it would be a hurricane that would eventually ruin the dome. Palm Beach State College is less than 3 miles off the ocean, so, just a matter of time anyways.

TGL announces inaugural season schedule - PGA TOUR

---

Six teams of PGA TOUR stars will be featured on prime time ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN+

The schedule is out!

I have two Ballfrogs hats. Just because I like the logo. I'll tune in and see what it's about.

I saw a couple videos on YouTube about this league. It seems it started a few days ago.
thoughts?

Yeah, it started Tuesday night. 

I watched the first hour and a half or so of it. I enjoyed it. It was fast paced, different, entertaining, etc. I think it's a perfect thing to watch in the winter when good portions of the country are stuck inside and have nothing else to do on Monday evenings. (First week was on a Tuesday but the rest of the matches are on Mondays I believe)

The whole thing ran pretty smoothly IMO. Technology seemed to work fine, and if this is the "worst" that it's going to look and feel, I'm here for it. 

My wife bought a Boston Common shirt last night because she likes the logo. I think Boston Common is the best logo and I'll probably pick up a hat or shirt from them as well.

There isn't one team that is made up of 4 players that I like a lot, but if I had to pick a team to be a fan of, I'd pick LA or Team Jupiter, but I feel like Team Jupiter will be a fan favorite simply because of Tiger.

I'm wearing a Ballfrogs hat in my photo with Lou from the other day (and I wore it again today):

This was the WORST the production and live show are going to be, and they got a lot of things right with only room to grow. I think it'll only get better (not wildly so, but incrementally).

And it didn't help that it was a blowout, and yet… it was still pretty interesting. Singles was weirdly a little bit of a drag. I almost wonder if that's not a mid-season change.

I wouldn't mind getting a Jupiter hat since I live down here, plus it's Tiger's team.

I enjoyed how much faster it was, as well as the grass tees. I'm looking forward to Tiger's first match next week.

Shame, it looks like the entire season's sold out. I live right down the road from it. Oh well.

I was hoping to see the data on all the shots. Not just carry and total distance, but all of the stuff you see on a simulator. It should be on the TV screen like you see relevant data for a football game. A couple of the approach shots they didn't even state the distance to the pin. I think that would probably be something they add as time goes on as they get feedback.

I was surprised the camera didn't zoom in on wives and children, unless I missed it. I didn't watch the last 3 holes. I guess they weren't going for a family vibe.

I will watch again, but with less anticipation. It was a Tuesday night and the weather sucks.

Some of the tee shot data they showed was wildly incorrect too, specifically apex height There were multiple drives that they claimed had apex heights of like 35 feet yet they still carried 300yds. I wonder if that was the apex height when it reached the screen, not the calculated apex height. 

I do agree that more data and even being able to hear/see which clubs the players select would be nice. They could easily do it by having someone looking in the bag and pressing a button for whichever club is missing from the player's bag as they're walking up to hit.

I honestly think they were saying feet but it was in yards.

The apex height was horrible, yeah. The rest was, from what I saw, pretty good. I agree it should be up on almost any shot they hit into the screen. Heck, I'd love to see it on the short shots around the green, but they don't have launch monitors over there, so… oh well.

Go figure they're Full Swing LMs. It's funny they have like twelve of them going. It's not a good LM, but… Tiger's involved, so…

Saw that logo on Charlie Woods' hat a few weeks ago and wondered what it was. Now I know!
