What's going on is making money when few people are likely to be watching golf. Midday on weekdays, most golfers are either working or playing....

lol... well i guess im not the norm... im a night owl... worked 3rd shift forever... plus im an imsomniac... so even if there werent infomercials (which i find unusual) in the middle of the day... i could still think of lots of golf related programming... you have to remember... there are literally tons golfers that dont work during the day... retired/rich/unemployed/work nights...
not to mention the days that just dont allow for a round of golf... tons of snow/lightning/other bad weather... etc
all the other channels run their infomercials late nights early mornings... the golf channel is no exception... the weird thing is... they also have infomercials during the day when other channels have regular programming... nfl channel states 'football 24/7' and it tends to be true... i thought the golf channel was 'golf 24/7'... and some of the infomercials arent even golf related

I think its better than continuously watching the same episode of shows over and over again. At least when I see 'Paid Programming' on the info of Charter I know not too watch it. When I see something golf related and it's that awesome amazing shots show (which they only have 1 maybe 2 episodes) again, I'm disappointed.

And most people that work nights sleep during the day, and the unemployed probably don't have money to watch TV.

It's a money deal with the infomercials for sure. To bad!! I wish they would show some old tournement clips from the 50's, 60's and 70's. Great fun watching how the old timers use to play. They showed the 64 masters that Arnie won. Around his 80th B-day a while back. Lot of fun to watch.

Showing old tournaments would be pretty cool imo.

LOL, frustrating isn't it. I guess the good news is at least they aren't Viagra, Extends or the like.

id much rather watch 'classic' tournaments or reruns of big break from previous seasons... heck i could think of tons of new programming even long drive competitions... amateur tourneys... hooters tour... golf galaxy am tour... hell put putt putt tourneys on... trade shows... play tin cup/bagger vance/caddy shack/etc... there are literally thousands of courses in the usa alone and tons around the world so why not visit everyone of them with a camera and have a never ending show... heck id watch infomercials on timeshares in golf communities...
all im saying is thank goodness the golf channel is 'free' for me now cuz i sure wouldnt pay for it with whats on it now
