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!

    • It’s been a while since I’ve seen the word “golf” and the phrase “moment of truth” collide in the same sentence.  
    • I used to have a 21 degree Ping 7 wood, but it spun a lot and tended to come up short if there was any headwind or quartering wind.  Replaced it with a 20* Adams Idea Pro Tour Prototype.  Great hybrid and there are still some out there on eBay for decent prices (I think Langer still bags two of them). 
    • Wins the week before and files for divorce the same week. I’m not putting money on Rory.
    • Partial to the Golf Pride CP2 Pro.  Softer than a Tour Velvet and pretty durable (I play 5 times a week and they last a year or more with no issues).
    • Tiger Wood's Driver Clinic Got this on Twitter. Which then I found the video above.  Tiger asking Rory to hit that control cut. Rory talks a bit about how he likes to stand taller, so he doesn't feel like he can shallow it with the body. Tiger puts it in his words, staying on top of the ball. Which I presume for Tiger his feel for a cut. Even the PGA Tour players have their own ways to achieve similar shots and describe it with their own swing thoughts (feels). Good insight in how PGA Tour player's develop swing feels to produce the shot they want. Could be something as simple as a posture change.
