Golf is happening right now and I can't watch it! It will be on later from 12-3 PST. It seems like a big event like this should have extended coverage - what's up with that? Golf channel is showing the Mon-Weds crap while a pga playoff tournament is being played?

And only hole 18 on-line? Seems like, again, there should be more coverage.

Somebody please run down there with a web cam and laptop. It would be appreciated!

It runs Friday-Monday for Labor Day so today is actuall second round coverage. It is probably getting the same amout of second round coverage that most tournaments get. I would guess it is a little harder to put on a good TV event when all the players are scattered around the course (or already off) and there isn't a group of leaders battling.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

Actually less . . .and the coverage doesn't get much better for Sunday or Monday. For Round 1 and 2, all we get is 3 hours condensed coverage on the Golf Channel. For Rounds 3 and 4 there is only the std network coverage, no early coverage on the Golf Channel. Even ho-hum tournaments get that . .and this is a playoff event featuring all the top players. I would EXPECT 5 hours of coverage on the golf channel for rounds 1 and 2 as well as early coverage for round 3 and 4. I would also expect there to be at least one more on-line option as well (marquee group, another hole, etc).

This is a play-off, not the Greenbrier!

Ding ding ding. Talk to me when a real sport starts (Hockey).

I was wondering why I couldn't get any updates on round two yesterday. They didnt play it yet. Cmon Rory. We got $$$ on you. Stricker too. It would be nice if that info was available somewhere on the pga website. I was bored at work and getting frustrated.

Have you checked out ESPN3.com? It carried live golf from 9 AM to 6 PM (EDT, of course). It will be on ESPN3.com on Sunday and Monday at 10:30 AM to 6 PM (EDT--that's Eastern Daylight Savings Time).

Also don't forget that it's the first Saturday for college football in the States, and finishing the tournament on Monday allows NBC to air Notre Dame's opening game during what would otherwise be the third round of the tournament. That's a very important point to the programming execs.

Masters has always been that way. Augusta has complete control and they don't allow much coverage the first couple days.

The first players are on the tee. Yesterday the world's #1 ranked golfer shot one of his best rounds of the year while the GOLF CHANNEL showed reruns of Top 10 golf videos. Hope he has a good round today . .the Golf Channel will be showing re-runs of Top 10 Greatest Golf Videos and Destination Golf (btw - could a show possibly suck more than this one?) and 2 hours of the Nationwide tournament during Tiger's round.

There's no explaining to do. They didn't have the rights to broadcast the tournament during that time. 3-6, that was their slot. You can't just violate the terms of a contract because you want to see earlier coverage. It's the second round - they don't cover the earlier times for first- or second-round coverage.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
