Golf Channel has really lost ratings on both Morning Drive and School of Golf since Holly Sonders  left. I try to watch it but it's so lame now. These manly women they brought in to replace are harsh. I like my babes in the morning, especially a babe like Holly who could golf. Now its skank material, women taking to much HGH.

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 GC needs more commercials...as if they don't have enough already. When airing a tourney, lots of times I see maybe 2 shots, then a commercial, then maybe 5 shots and another, you guessed it..Funny how they will show a 5 second clip, then right back to more...commercials. Seriously, how much freaking $$$$$ does NBC need to make..?

IMHO, NBC ruined the golf channel. Arnie made a big mistake selling part of it. :-\

Yes, I've noticed this too which is why I DVR all golf now. Very long commercials too...frustrating as hell. I didn't notice that started upon NBC's arrival, however; seems it's always been that way. Wonder if that's true?

I am on a anti Damon Hack crusade... His devil's advocate act is irritating.

I don't find Sara Brown that attractive. Def downgrade from Holly, IMO.

Lost or lower ratings? I say it more to do with the end of the typical golf season for many people, and no majors in sight

Maybe it's because I find her annoying on, "School of Golf," but I don't even think she's really good looking. Everything from her personality to the sound of her voice (which I realize she can do little about) just makes her very unappealing to me. She just comes across to me as an airhead. Different strokes...

Can't stand Breed.  Face, voice, everything.  Especially that horrendous collar.  You'd think FJ would just cut it out with those crappy collars.  Never seen one of those collars rest well.

I have given up on GC. If they are broadcasting a tournament I'll watch but everything else is stale. Too much back slapping and odd gibing. Seems everyone on there thinks they are funnier than they are. Depending on who is hosting any of the talk programs you can predict how they will interact. IMO they need to ditch anyone that's not a former pro and scale it down.

Ryan Burr isn't anything close to being funny. Annoying..Yes.

I like Paige Mackenzie. She seems a little smarter and more knowledgeable than other "former" personalities.

I also like Charlie Rhymer, and  Kelley Tilghman . Gary Williams can be a little too much sometimes. Gets a little loud. Lauren Thompson and Damon Hack are fine.

Brandel Chamblee is just too full of himself for honest opinions. In trying to be controversial, he simply comes off as mean spirited.

Rosaforte is good . Knows a lot of inside stuff.

Frank Nobilo is very good for course commentary.

Feherty is just .....................well himself!

I wish Charlie Rymer would stop trying to be funny and doing his "skits"... Horrible.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 1 (19 Jan 26) - after a week lay-off due to travels, felt great to get in some drills in the backyard today.  Started with lead arm only short pitches focused on squared face and light divot post ball.  Haven’t done this in a while and it showed, with some skulls and slices.  Settled into easy flighted balls - wrapped up with standard two handed swings.  Good restart to the daily drills.

      That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness.

      Day 19, 1/19.  Finished work in time to spend 25 minutes hitting balls (hit 15) indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Usual focus.

      Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
