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.

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!

I'm sure he was just sour that he didn't notice it. Anyway carry on!

I'm not as dense as you may believe. :-) The most embarrassing part was when I unzipped to get one of my balls and she made a comment about the short shaft on my putter. My putter is only 31 inches long.

I have both balls that Paige signed in my sock drawer. Maybe I can pull a Sam Kinnison and take them out some day.

Damon Hack is so annoying. I kinda like an amateur's perspective but lately he has been super irritating.

I agree on Hack. I used to like him but lately, he just has nothing. Hack is better when he is Williams's sidekick, not the lead role. I like Chris DiMarco on there. Straight shooter with good insight. Paige is okay analyzing golf but her interview skills are bad.

I like DiMarco too. Hack is radio corny and stupid sounding devil's advocate too often.

Watching School of Golf is pretty unbearable now. Martin Hall being annoying and creepy now that Sara Brown is on the show and I find Brown's voice to be super annoying. I did find it funny tha Hall dropped the, "Symetra Tour winner," line on the second show that Brown was on considering the show had Karen Stupples, a major winner on the show, on an interim basis I imagine. I'll probably watch one more episode to see if my feelings change but with Hall being creepy around Brown and both having annoying voices, I'm not sure I can handle it.

The premise that Martin Hall was teaching the "stooge" Karen Stupples was always a bit off, though. Stupples had to act "surprised" at "new information" and it didn't play well.

To Sara it might actually be new information… yet she also has enough talent to demonstrate it effectively.

Her voice is more annoying than Holly's though, yes.

Meh... The round the clock playing of "Living in the Hall of Fame"... is about to make me mad... Fame must be the key advertising word. Just when they backed off the Cadillac commercial, the Omega one dominates.

Yeah, silly me thought with Stupples on the show it would be more of a conversation style rather than Hall being pedantic like he was with Sonders and now is with Brown.

You'd think it would have been more creepy with Holly and her form. But yes, if you consider Sara Brown to be "teen like", I can see the creepiness.

Martin needs a fine golfer to make these changes he suggests on the run. A female partner keeps the interest of guys ... for the most part, but not Stupples.

Hall of Fame seems exclusively television, while Peyton's seems exclusively on the Golf Channel internet live feed.

Nonetheless, they are both very annoying after the first 175 times.

      Day 68 (8 Jul 25) - Took grandson and the Mrs for an easy nine today.  She only wanted her driver, 7i and putter, so I trimmed my bag back to accommodate.  Had a blast watching her shake the rust off and hit some nice drives, approaches and roll putts.  Got her to use my 7w for those par 5 second shots - she used it well.  Grandson was on his game as well.  For me it was about course management and working from yardages and positions I don’t usually play - with fewer options to get back in play.  Love mixing it up like this - makes me think and not just boringly do.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By ChetlovesMer · Posted

      During league night on Wednesday I had a bit of a lightbulb go off and I struck my approaches well all day. But the best one was a Gap Wedge from the fescue on hole 16.   Crossed myself up on a tee shot that requires a fade. Instead I hit a slight draw into the fescue. (The fescue doesn't show up on the shotscope picture, but trust me, it's there.) I was left 109 to the flag. I hit a gap wedge to about 12 feet. Yeah, I missed the birdie putt. But didn't embarrass myself. Took tap in par and happily moved on to hole 17.  In all the time I've been playing this course. I've never played a ball to the left of the little tree shown in the top right corner of the bottom picture.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By ChetlovesMer · Posted

      My game, for a lot of reasons is finally starting to improve.  I darn near completed the no sixes challenge this morning. I snuck out early today and played my home course. I was the first one off and finished in under 2 hours.  I hit 8 fairways and was just off on 4 others. Only 2 tee balls were what I'd consider wild. (I made a GIR from the next fairway over on one of them. 🤷‍♂️) I made 8 GIR's and had 8 NGIR's. I shot my lowest round since 2019 and didn't even putt particularly well. I had four or five really good birdie chances and didn't convert any. I also missed one well inside 3 feet on 13. That one hurt. Oops.  I played really well on Wednesday. Shooting a +1, 37 on the back nine. I birdied 2 of the last 4 holes. My approaches are where I'm seeing the biggest difference. I think the swing I've been working on for the past few months is starting to sink in. Here is Wednesday's strokes gained vs a 5 HCP. I'm excited to play tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing if this is this the start of a parade or just a lone drummer passing by?

      6700 treelined course (72 rating). It was a good yardage for my distance, not his. It was an official mid am competition. He finished 2nd with 4 under after 36 holes.

      By elementz · Posted

      Played Sunday at my home course and shot an 83.....with four 3 putts.   So that is at least promising.   Played Men' Night last night (9 holes) and was Even after 7.....but then had a tough bogey and a terrible double to finish +3.   Either way.....I like the way things are trending.
