I saw Kelly Tilghman on NBC's Olympic coverage for the past couple of days and Golf Channel still has a bio on her, but even before the Olympics I have not noticed her on the Golf Channel's tournament coverage or on the Golf Channel in general.

Is she being "phased out" of the Golf Channel in favor of younger talent??? Or is she "transitioning" to NBC coverage (since they now under the same NBC umbrella) for more money/opportunity???

Comcast owns the Golf Channel and they also bought the majority stake of NBC Universal last year. The normal golf coverage on NBC was renamed Golf Channel on NBC. So all the broadcasters can switch from doing Golf Channel and NBC Sports broadcasts and vice versa.

wouldn't hold your breath about Holly - haven't seen her on the Morning Drive in weeks.    If TGC fired her, it would be beyond epic fail - perhaps biblical class fail - she is a perfect 10 with a killer golf game - THAT is like hitting the lottery ...

NBC can use her because she's an NBC employee now too.

Ditto...

Holly Sonders, Win McMurry, and Lauren Thompson should be the Golf Channel female line-up.

.... and the viewers should be able to pick out their outfits

Looks to me like they did the same for Bob Costas.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
