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.

      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.
