Anyone else peeved by this? To me there's nothing better than watching sports live and seeing history unfold as it happens...Usually when something's tape delayed I go ahead and *Spoil* it by reading the results online or something

But I guess the best way to approach it is to turn of my PC and just watch, huh? But...is there going to be an online stream somewhere, like the BBC with the British Open? That'd be...nice.

On the flip side this is only for NBC's coverage on Saturday, and we do get a full 10 hours (8am to 6pm). What sucks is that there's another solid slate of college football games, more specifically the Red River Shootout !!

No, not peeved. I'd rather not get up at 3 am(est) to watch them tee off at 8am(their time). I can stay away from the computer and tv.

Oh and there is no suspense to the red river shootout after that embarrasing loss by Texas.

You know, even if it was live, I bet most people would tape it and it would be a sort of home made tape delay anyways. What's the penetration of DVRs in homes with cable? I thought I read somewhere 60%?

      Are these course getting easier? are the players getting better? should we not worry about tournaments that used to produce single digit winners are now producing course records year after year.  I am not talking roll back I am just curious why scores are so much lower than five to ten years ago.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      I've posted plenty of positive things about Tiger over the years. I just like to play fair.  But if you want to see me praise TW some more here you go: 12 wins by 7 shots or more - Jack had 4 3 separate win streaks of 5 or more in a row - Jack won 3 in a row once It took Jack 172 more events and 9 extra years to reach Tiger's 71 wins by 2009 TW is the only player since 1900 to win a major by double digits and he did it twice 30% peak win rate is even higher than the previous record holder Ben Hogan (25%) 11 time PGA Tour Player of the year - Jack had 5 12 times lead the Tour in wins - Jack 6 10 times money list leader - Jack 8 Jack officially has 73 wins, but 2 of them are team wins with Arnie. You could argue he should be listed with 71 and I wouldn't disagree.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      I mean that's clearly an opinion.  The funny thing is I never even attacked Tiger, I just pointed out that the other poster had a point when he mentioned that Jack had a longer career. Tiger basically had 5 years when he could have been winning more tournaments if not for his injuries. 2010-2011 and then again 2015-2017. Hard to make the argument after his final win because not many players win a ton after age 43.  If those numbers support the fact that Jack had a longer career so be it. Don't take that as an affront to Tiger.

      Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top.
