Not a huge fan yet, but I saw an Ian Poulter ad for the new site that cracked me up. Not sure I can embed the video here from my phone but the link above should work.

The font is a complete and utter abomination. I have no idea how anyone in the business of website design could even consider using such a font. It's like they don't want people to read the articles. If I want to read anything, I'll have to copy the entire thing into Word or something.

Is there somewhere I can complain about this? Surely I must not be the only one reacting to the font selection. Using a proper font is a big deal on the Internet, and everyone making websites should know this.

I'm not a big fan of the rest of the layout either. I miss the upper right box with news and stuff. Now I'll have to scroll and click and look at lots of large pictures to find any news.

Wow, talk about a major step backwards,this web site truly sucks.  I no longer go to it if I want score updates, I just go to ESPN and get the info.

It is so cluttered and confusing it feels like you just can't go anywhere quickly onit.  I "hate it'.

I know this post is a few months old, but I agree with @Zeph more and more. It's really annoying that I have to scroll down more than my display's height just to get to the actual content. I also don't like having to use the drop down menu when I have the window at half size on my laptop (or even full size if I want Stats). I'm not sure if it actually is harder to find content, but it sure as hell feels like it. I get lost much more often, and the entire website seems very convoluted. It used to not look as flashy, but at least it was straightforward. There's a lot of white space now that requires tons of scrolling. I'm certainly not a web designer so I have no idea what they were going for (or than the fact that web design seems to be going towards more pictures, more sans serif fonts), but as a user I can definitely tell you the website is much harder and more annoying to navigate.

Really, really, do not like the PGA Tour website. I think it is a horrible user experience, particularly on a mobile device. I started using ESPN golf and find that to be fine for my needs. Found that I was not going to PGA Tour's site much at all and eventually deleted it from my favorites. Haven't used it in some time now.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By 03Bird ·

      Yes. I believe in using the same ball all of the time, including chipping and putting practice. I use the orange Callaway Supersoft.  Only $25 per dozen, and sometimes on sale for $20.

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.

      Womens League .Golf Top Level Domain Name

      By iacas ·

      I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
