Anybody else listen to the coverage of the British on XM radio? I never realized how horrible the normal PGA Tour coverage was!! I find myself spacing out and only half listening to the team that does normal tour stops.

The group of guys doing the British Open is great. It was more like a day-long golf talk show with constant and current updates of what was going on at the course.

It got me through Thursday and Friday at work!

Maybe I'm not a true golf fan for this but I doubt I could ever listen to a golf tournament. I need to have that visual or else I'll fall asleep. Were you watching it with the TV muted or something like that?

The XM coverage of the Open has been superb.

Seriously, yes, I prefer listening to this to the televised coverage in America.

I was lucky enough to be at the Open and the best money I spent all week was on one of the radios to take around the course. It was great to hear the clever British humour and look around and see all the other people with radios smiling or laughing. It was also a great way to follow the happenings around the course while still following the people you wanted to see every shot of. The best of both worlds!

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
