Hey, is anyone planning on watching the eight hours of coverage on saturday and sunday? I'm a huge fan, but I don't know if I can do eight hours ... heh.

Not that a hour makes a difference in the amount spent watching the event but 11 to 7 is

Konrad, If you own a Tivo, or DVR, I think you will be very surprised as to just how little golf is actually shown in those eight hours.

I'll be watching all eight hours of it. Missing out on any of it isn't even an option. I love the coverage of the U.S. Open and PGA Championship.

Amen to that, I'll be tuned in for the duration as well. Of course part of the coverage will be caught in the background while I play with my kids and try to keep the wife happy!

I'll be watching most of it on Sunday, but in general I'd rather play myself than watch. Nothing like squeezing them both in though! Saturday I'll be playing in an MGA event first...then parking in front of the tube.

I warned my wife long ago that major championships and the Ryder Cup are exceptions to the rule of marriage. We don't see each other much on these weekends.

I have to give credit to my wife for being so understanding in this aspect. I don't have kids yet either, so I get away with that for now.

Konrad,

I do have a TiVo. And, yes, I don't deal with BS commercials anymore. I'll go play 9 holes, come back, and then watch the tournament.


I'll be on the plane going to europe tomorrow and I doubt german tv will have extensive coverage... so I guess I'll read about it on the internet

Just the last couple hours. We have our club championship this weekend...so I'll be a bit occupied.

Fairways and Greens.

I don't know if everyone knows about the pga.com coverage online, but if you don't, I highly recommend you check it out. The coverage they are showing of the lefty, woods group is pretty decent.

    • Day 23 - Back to full swing work, trying to swing loose and feel the club head. 
    • Yet here we are. I don’t disagree that we should expect spectators to behave on any event, not just The Masters, but that’s not the case. There’s a sea of phones out there on any other event and a lot more incidents with spectators. Why shouldn’t we praise decent behaviour when it is often lacking in these days? There are plenty of golf related events to write negative articles about. I like when there is positivity to write about instead. Not that I expect them to behave at any other event like they do at Augusta just because it gets praise, but it’s nice to see positive spin on things. There are more than enough articles about rowdy spectators and cheating players. I think you nailed it in the first line: “grumpy old man”. 😉
    • Day 275: mirror work for a bit while watching TV. Working on cleaning up a few things in my lower body stuff. 
    • Yeah, I take your point. Perhaps you've just identified the other side of the same coin: maybe there is very little to celebrate about pro golfers as people, so the golf media are clutching at straws trying to find something.
    • Go ahead and name three things that, in the world of golf, have been more praise-worthy in the last three months. I'll wait. It's not like they got Congressional medals or something.
