I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it.

I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning.

IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.

I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

It was so refreshing to see the pros letting loose in the Optimum Golf Channel Games because those alternative formats really bring out a fun side of the sport that you just do not get during a high stakes Sunday round. Watching them navigate those creative challenges is a great reminder of why we love the game, and if you enjoy that mix of entertainment and skillful play, I highly suggest taking a look at   https://icasino-reviews.co.nz/ where you can find expert breakdowns of the most trusted gaming platforms for 2026. This site is a brilliant resource for finding where the best bonuses and variety are, much like how those relay events offer a better variety than the standard tour coverage. It really helps to have a reliable guide when you are looking for top tier entertainment that values a great user experience. I am definitely going to keep an eye out for the reruns to see the parts I missed.

I caught a bit of it too and I kind of agree, it was a nice change of pace from the usual tournament coverage. Seeing pros in a more relaxed, almost playful setup makes it way more enjoyable than just strict competition. I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did, but it actually works well as background watching or something casual to put on in the evening.

    • Day 58: night putting session for about an hour. Started with lag putting and ended with putts inside 9’. I need to work on putts from 6-12’, but in a solid spot overall. 
    • Birdied a different #6 today (incidentally, also a par-5, but not the same one on which I previously birdied).  Here's the funny thing though:  it's the par-5 that caused me to post my "how do I avoid bogeys?" on par-5s recently.  So I guess I still haven't parred that hole.
    • Day 20, May 24.  Played 18 today, very poor ball driving.  One GIR, and it was a 4-wood from the rough.  Several other instances of hitting a green on a full swing (and at least one full swing motion -- a 50% UW) that wasn't for GIR.   Still shot an 87 and even had a birdie (chip-in).
    • Welcome to TST.  I spent a bit of time in the UK but I had to look up Wagon Wheels.  Don't think I ever saw them.  Had to Google to see.  Couple similar items in US but Google says they are different. 😁
    • Day 264 5-24 Worked on getting chest through and arms down infront of chest. Contact isn't great yet but on video looking better.
