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

With some peaked interest in the hot list portion of the program, they are just not diving deep enough. Mike Stachura I am sure is a bright guy but pretty generic and flat on TV. Questions from the audience were being tweeted in yesterday regarding drivers, some were very relevant, some were simply asking for an opinion from Mike.........he never seemed to answer the question Today's program had entire bag of mallet putters to talk about, turns out it was a 3. 5 minutes of over view. Then it cuts away to continued Kelly love fest mean less dialog.

These guys never seem to have a real opinion on clubs -- very generic. They don't want to offend anyone, but they can do a better job of pointing out certain design characteristics. The presenters do come off as "vanilla" -- Lots of clubs but nothing of substance.

To me they are really over doing the golf simulator shots by all the staff and the cast of the day. It was mildly amusing at first but it is getting a bit sophomoric now.

Maybe it's due to my golf withdraw (this Indiana winter has been brutal), but I enjoy watching them hit shots. How many others watch that and think, "if I shelled out $150k, I could have that set up in my house."

I love listening to Renton Laidlaw, Dougie Donnelly & the other European tour announcers. If only there were a way for them to cover the PGA tournaments on GC & send Lerner & his ilk packing.

Did you guys now that Kelly Tillman and Stepanie Sparks are lesbo girlfriends? Yes they carpet muchers!

Damon Hack is just bugs me, I don't like him. It seems he's always asking somebody to evaluate his swing. I don't want to watch a 20 handicapper getting golf lessons.

Kelly has become disgusting to look at. Tom Abbott is super annoying. Paige is not hot. Sorry but it's movie magic and her big ass in panty hose.... is bleh. I can't stand Shackleford either. I don't care to watch any of the que balls either. I do enjoy seeing Holly decked out in heels and a dress. I like Hall and Breed but I don't pay that much attention. Love watching all the tournaments but I can't say I pay attention to the announcers much however I have appreciated Faldo's wit lately. Frank is good too. I pretty much just watch golf 24/7 so as annoying as some of the people are, it is better than no golf....

Only watch the tourney's, Martin Hall, and Ferhty ..sometimes. Although Breed has calmed down, he still gets on my nerves. Oh, I enjoyed Dick Stockton last night.

Are you 16 years old? Why do you care about their sexuality and why comment in derogatory terms?

Morning drive is wearing out the Bubba visit. It's getting embarrassing.

They keep playing the footage over and over. Something that should be put to video archive at this point. It makes it feel like there is nothing else they can run...

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Swing check. Cons: The countertop drill hasn't taken yet. Not crazy about A5 to A6 hand path. Pros: Decent BS width at A2 and right elbow at A4. All in all, not terrible but meh..

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 74 (14 Jul 25) - Late afternoon session w/9i, magnetic alignment stick, Divot board and hard foam balls.  Worked on getting the face square at setup and then returning to same through the swing.  The lines on the Divot Board served as referenced parallels for the alignment stick.  Did hit a few balls about 30 total - half with using the alighment stick on the club face and half without.  First time working with the magnetic alignment rod - really reveals when you have the face closed/open/etc.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, that is what I figure would be the case.  My mind is just trying to wrap around the idea that 22" left = feet aiming like 15 yards left visually. It's like in a CADD system, if the flag is the base point when you scale an image, it stays in the same spot as you get closer (scale up) or get further away (scale down).  I can image how if you have a 10-yard chip, it could look much more like your feet are aimed nearly 22" left of the flag.  Now I want to try to make some measurements and quantify this 🤣.  Yes, they do. Yea, that is true.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      Closer to like 22" than 36. Why wouldn't the target line (ball) be at the target (flag) with your feet parallel left of that? Perception messes with a lot of people. Almost all righties tend to aim to the right, because what feels parallel left — particularly given that your eyes are "between" the ball and your feet — feel like they're pointed MILES left even when they're square. Also, there's no rule that you have to be parallel left of the target line. I like to be slightly open at setup.

      Pitching

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Depends on the lie, pin location, green.  I would say most of my pitches are with my 60-degree.  Its probably like 90% 60-degree, 10% 56 degree.
