Hey guys, just wondered if this is the place all the TGC guys went to?  TGC used to be hopping, but since they dropped Disqus the place is almost empty, wondered if this was the next best place, and were the folks all went

I'm a former TGCer and for me this is the best golf forum I've found.  I DO participate on another one, but this is the better of the 2, IMO.  In a lot of ways it is way better than the old TGC forums ever were.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Is it GC or TGC? I wandered there and I can't even find it, the URL /forums is broken. Methinks NBC errr Comcast errr Evil Empire wants you to tune in and watch commercials and buy Viagra. I'm a cordcutter, WTF are commercials? I appreciate that there's GC to telecast tourneys, I really do, but the rest of it? Spit. Patoohey. I do my own programming via what's on YouTube et al and that's better.

It seems like THE golf channel has about three commercials and play them in a loop about every forty five seconds ad nauseum.

ok, enough....Stacey's mom has got it going on.

That's how good the branding is. Years and I forget the exact name. Both recent threads say TGC.

I guess the dropped the "The" to make is sound more important...fact is everyone calls it THE golf channel, even the tour pros, so all of the money they spent rebranding has been one huge waste. I continue to use it just because it somehow makes me able to remind them they aren't what they think they are or should be. Not a good reason I know, but my way of telling them to step it up. I look at the THE golf channel as a failure in realizing potential. The infusion of NBC has helped a lot, but until they really clean house.....Tighlman, Lerner, Isenhower, the entire crew of morning drive they really aren't much better than the local stations covering high school basketball. Some real pros are needed, currently they're populated by a collection of wannabees.

    • Flying into ATL on Sept 11 (Thu), early, leaving Sept 15 (Mon), late. Dates are fixed. Trying to hit the best RTJ Trail stops without spending half the trip in the car.   Plan: Thu: Grand National (Lake or Links) Fri: GN AM, then drive to Capitol Hill, play Senator Sat: Capitol Hill – Judge Sun: Ross Bridge Mon: Oxmoor Ridge early, drive to ATL   Thinking about squeezing in Cambrian Ridge after Capitol Hill—worth it or too much? Would love any feedback or tips from those who’ve done it.
    • Day 73 (13 Jul 25) (note: forgot to post the "day" for the past few days, up to day 73) - Easy day in the backyard, with time on the 50deg wedge and the mat (simulating tight lies around the green) working on low spinners.  Love using this mat as it is small and portable but also lends to being a type of alignment rod to get a proper setup.  Finished up with a few swings with the 54.  
    • Congrats on the new leg of your journey - the challenge of learning something new while dealing with Parkinson’s is totally awesome.
    • Played several holes today with my Buddy's left haded clubs.  I was going to order just woods, but after playing again today and hitting the irons well, I will be ordering a complet set of Left handed Clubs.    They are Callaway Edge, Regular flex.  I am excited !  Will let you know after I try them and let you know how well they performed.    Retired Old Man, Terry
    • Depends in part on what lie the greens crew left me. If it's first cut of rough or fairway and clear shot to cup, it's an 8i chip and run. If it's shaggy, or I have to go over ridge or bunker, it's a cut shot with a 58* LW.
