I voted no mostly because I don't even own a t.v.

Mostly???

I've spent most of my life golfing - the rest I've just wasted.

The thing I have enjoyed the most HDTV is that it has made sports that I typically have not watched or even had interest in exciting and make me want to become a fan. A good example is Hockey I have always known that this is a great sport but never could followed it on the TV but now its so crisp and clear it has made be a fan.

Yup, it's great for watching Carolina games, right?

I've got a 50" Panasonic plasma TV that does 1080p and the HD package from Verizon FIOS TV. It pains me to watch standard definition TV.

Yes, my cable provider gives it for Free.

The Golf Channel is not in HD.
But the GolfVS channel is. Some times its golf, sometimes its bullriding or UFC matches.

I've got an HDTV. But since we live in the Netherlands there aren't a lot of HD broadcasters... Just Discovery and NGC. But now temporarely: The European Cup (football), Tour de France and the Olympics in HD! And soon: Eurosport HD ;) So it'll come, it just takes time.

HD is super, but it takes the shine off of watching non-HD broadcasts, which is a pity as HD broadcasting is still relatively niche.

Niche? I dont think so anymore. Most TV manufacturers are not even making SD sets anymore. And we are 8 months or so away from the Digital age. Where all tv is HD by govt mandate.

Does the mandate include HD? For some reason, I thought it was just a switch from analog signals to digital signals.

That is correct, it does mean just digital signal. However since 90% of tv manufacturers are all HD now, they predict that by quarter 3 of 2009 85% of all channels will be HD.

Now that HD cameras are affordable for independent stations, almost everything will be shot in HD

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon
