on the golf channel?

I remember in the mid and late 90s, TGC aired a ton of college golf tournaments. What happened? Did the conference networks or some college cable channel buy out the rights. I really miss watching college golf on TV.

I just made a post in the "LPGA is a joke" thread that hinted at the same thing. I'd rather watch top amateurs than third tier pros.

Champions Tour
LPGA
Big Break
19th hole
that annoying yelling instructor guy
European tour
Nationwide tour

Basically anything other than true amateur golf. They do show the college finals once a year in an abbreviated format

I had some intrest in the NCAA womens championship, and this was broadcasted by cstv.com via internet stream (it seems to belong to cbs - some sports/events are free, for others you have to pay) - other college sports are broadcasted the same way - but donts ask about quality - its horrid....

The Pac10 championship broadcast was even worse - 2 webcams on the 10th tee (Teebox and middle fairway) - LOL.

I havent been around in the late 90s to judge the quality of the broadcast, but i assume it was about the same, as when TGC broadcast Mens/womens amateur US Open, which is actually viewable.

that is what I suspected. The conferences are making $$ with their media networks.

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
