To me it looks very cluttered and visually unappealing. I preferred the other website.

URLs are supposed to be permanent. Old statistics URLs do not work.

That is very disappointing.

P.S. It should be something they should fix, too. It's not that hard to build a redirect for this:

http://www.pgatour.com/stats/stat.361.html#2013 -> http://www.pgatour.com/stats/stat.361.2013.html

I don't have much hope that they'll actually fix this, however.

It's not different aesthetically from many redesigns of the sites I go to - Slate, Atlantic Wire, CSPAN, etc... Anyone getting the blank rectangle in the upper right hand corner?  Tables with numbers - they should be right-aligned. Not centered!

It is not bad, but a little to picture intense.  Some news sites are doing this as well.  They are afraid we don't like to read.

Official money column - right align. Sand Saves, Strokes Gained Putting also.

Found more little annoying things but that happens. Let's see in a couple of weeks how it goes. Also, no search box.

I'm afraid there may be some truth to this...I'm hoping it's just a phase

It's ok. I got used to the old site and I'll get used to this one. They have to stay ahead of the curve and can't let their site become dated.

Did the company contracted for the online health care exchange create this website? I kid! I kid! Personally I think they got 10 lbs of crap in a 5 lb bag. It just appears cluttered and not very organized.

I'm not sure what was wrong with the old one. Then again, I still know how to do frames, so ignore me when it comes to web design. I hope the live leaderboard for medal play tournaments still works as well as the old one.

They're going to make what is a work distraction on Thursday and Friday, more of a work distraction. Productivity... splat. Here's the nuggets:

.. it was surprised to find that nearly 50 percent of its traffic was coming from mobile . It expected mobile traffic to account for less — closer to 30 percent or 40 percent — because so many golf fans tend to use the site on Thursdays and Fridays from their desk at work .

“ We designed the mobile first ,” Gutterman said. “We looked at, ‘How is the fan going to experience PGATour.com on mobile’ first, then desktop second.”

The tour’s official site has brought live golf to its viewers in the past through its branded coverage, “Live At,” which streams live action from a particular hole. PGATour.com has run “Live At” at anywhere from seven to 10 of its 45 events each year.

Goicouria says that number will grow to at least 15 tournaments this year.

PGATour.com also will expand its offerings at those 15 events. In addition to the featured hole, the digital team is looking at broadcasting featured pairings and player s.

I don't know about you guys, but I don't particularly like the look on mobile either. The page in the Anthony Kim thread that Erik posted earlier looks awful on my iPhone. Lots of empty space (so tons of scrolling), not a whole lot of information. http://www.pgatour.com/players/player.29718.anthony-kim.html/career

I like it. It's blocky, but loads much faster than the old site, which didn't have a mobile version. I'd rather have loads faster if it's displaying the same info as before and didn't take anything away than dense and pretty. What I noticed is like other redesigns, the search box is gone.

The old PGA Tour mobile website was useless for anything other than leaderboard watching, so I'm fine with it. I'd like the interface to be a little less image-dominant, but that's just the state of web design in 2014. The [URL=http://www.owgr.com]World Golf Ranking[/URL] website relaunched using the same template, and that's definitely an improvement. The old site was impossible to navigate; the link space given for a player's individual page overlapped with the name above it on the list, so looking up someone's tournament history was a game of chance.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

Reviews overall on the new mobile app aren't great. Some people have even said they would pay to bring the old one back! App developer's worst nightmare.

Overall I hate the formatting of the site, but I do like the new feedback mechanism powered by Disqus.  It's cool that contributors like the esteemed Rob Bolton can have direct communication of viewpoints with site users in a forum that we can all view.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
