I was watching the telecast of the USGA Ameteur on NBC's Universal channel and the drama was just riveting.....36 holes match play......after 321 holes Cantlay up 1, then AS, then Down 1,etc......until 5:56 P.M. EST when they announced the telecast would be switching to the Golf Channel for the completion....they had just finished the 15th hole, with 3 to go.

At 6 PM, I switched to The Golf Channel and they was no USGA!  There was no further telecast available for the final 3 holes. ..NBC REALLY DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS ONE!

I had to wait until this morning to find out who won.

Kraft won by 2 as Cantlay could not recover after his 8 iron plunk off the tee into a pot bunker on hole #32.

Did anybody get to see the final 4 holes?

I'm not surprised they cut the coverage. What's that....like 60 hours of continuous golf?

TGC would've had to pre-empt for Ferhety.

First of all, they shouldn't have even dropped it off NBC even if they were promising it on the Golf Channel. But I guess I'm the only one who doesn't have cable or satellite.

OOOOOOOPS!

I just discovered that the broadcast on Universal HD channel was a RE-Broadcast from Sunday.......no wonder the final 4 holes was not on TGC!

I am such an idiot...

It was still riveting golf though.

I totally thought the same thing you did. But if it was a re-broadcast, how come they couldn't have edited it to finish by 6 EST? Makes no sense !

By the way......awesome new course in Wisc, Erin Hills! Site of the 2017 US Open. I will be there............watching of course

Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated

My thoughts exactly.......and yes, Erin Hills is awesome!  Can't wait until the US Open is there.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
