I don't go out of my way to watch it, and have not for the past several years. If we are out traveling, and the hotel's tv network has them, I might watch for a while. I am pretty old school and miss Peter Kessler, and Nancy Lopez when they would be on their programs. I don't have any interest to listening to their golf journalists. Just too much speculation, and innuendoes on their part. It's golf. How much can you report? You have one winner, and 140+/- losers at each tournament. The only programs I really miss are the old Shell tournaments, and the Bobby Jones series.

The other issue is the extra cost it takes to get their programming on cable, or satellite. It's not a premium channel in my opinion, although I understand they have switched to a basic cable channel to reach more subscribers. I know it's still a premium channel on DISH.

Most of my TV watching takes place on my HS internet/ROKU stuff. No commercials are a good thing. I watch the NFL, and MLB on a regular basis. The NBA I don't watch until the conference finals start.

also, someone mentioned the European Tour coverage....excellent. The calm and thoughtful commentators along with the distinct lack of hype is something I enjoy.

Golf Channel to me is worth the package for the weekend ALONE. It seems like almost every weekend there is at least one great tournament going on. This weekend both the PGA Tour and the European Tour

I'm a professional golf fan and I enjoy watching it so, naturally, I like the Golf Channel.

The addition of developmental tours within the Euopean and Asian professional golf systems is giving TGC more programming opportunities. I watched the Moscow Open this AM.

This additional tournament programming is very process oriented - you just get the cameras and a few announcers into place, and go with it. No real need for creativity.

Focus, connect and follow through!

You forget.

I don't own the sweet ride - I just get driven around in it.

Oh believe me...I didn't forget... It's obvious you won't be picking up the tab :-P

Someone has to be.  For some reason, no one agrees with me and tells me the truth when I say, "that drive carried 350 yards." :pound:

Really? In front of everyone?

She signed one in front of everybody and I picked up her drive in the fairway. That Sharpie still hasn't worn off.

It was a very bad attempt at humor from my side, I'm sorry.

Actually it was the funniest comment of the day. I spit up my coffee when I saw your zinger. Well done.

He has to be joking. It was the first thing I thought, you just got there first @Abu3baid

[quote name="Valleygolfer" url="/t/72118/golf-channel/100_10#post_1026707"] He has to be joking. It was the first thing I thought, you just got there first @Abu3baid [/quote] I think it is just not as funny when the poster doesn't get it or chooses to ignore it... But, he made the mistake of saying she signed my "balls"!!! If he said she signed my ball it wouldn't have registered! He did confirm that she did it in front of everyone, I'm just surprised he wasn't embarrassed! Ok back on topic I'm sorry again for all of this OT stuff!

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      By klineka ·

      Ah, got it.  Yeah I'd just play it for bogey. Even as a low handicap I wouldn't be all that upset with a bogey on that hole.

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      By 4zim ·

      Haha I made a I typo. I was thinking two things at once, ‘I don’t think bogey is a bad score’ and ‘I think bogey is a great score’. But I mixed them up and said the opposite

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      By klineka ·

      How isn't bogey a great score? As a 20 handicap every single time you make a bogey you are playing better than expected. Because if you bogeyed every hole you'd most likely be lower than a 20. You're a high handicap playing a hole that is lined with hazards the entire length of it on both sides.  Bogey is a very solid score for you on that hole.  From 300yds off the tee PGA tour players average 3.71 strokes to hole out. As a high handicap you are going to be more than 1 full stroke higher than that, probably closer to 2 full strokes higher.  If you had 100 different 20 handicaps play that hole I would bet a lot of money that the scoring average is greater than 5.0 Sometimes courses have really hard holes. Play for your bogey, be ecstatic about a par, and do everything possible to minimize double bogey.

      I don’t think bogey is a great score here. Will try the 7i - 7i approach. If I’m short, I think I can get out of the bunker and if I’m on the right I can chip up.
