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!

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.

[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!

      Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
