That was my understanding as well.  They are both under contract with NBC until the end of the year, but won't appear on television for NBC.

A source says NBC told Sonders and Kuselias they won’t appear on TV anymore for the remainder of the year, but their contracts would be paid out.

That was NBC's way of penalizing Kuselias for his power play.  The worst thing you can do to people that work in that industry is to take them off air for an extended period of time.  People have short memories and Kusielias will lose relevancy quite quickly, fortunately for Sonders I can think of at least two things that will keep her relevant.

Her intelligence and personality?

I don't know what is about some guys not giving Holly her intelligence dues -- when it came to golf, she asked good questions and was intelligent.

But some of you can't get those breasts out of your mind -- if a woman has large breasts - natural or augmented - then according to this logic, she has nothing else. Her boobs took the brain from her mind...

On the other hand, she did marry Kuselias.... :whistle:

now that seems to be a stupid move ... the guy's ego can't fit into Cowboys Stadium..

I rarely watched Morning Drive or the show where she speaks with the golfers while playing a few holes, so my scope is pretty much limited to when she was on School of Golf, and, going by that, she certainly didn't show off her, "intelligence."  Maybe it was the role she was in as Martin Hall's partner, but from what I understand, she was a pretty good collegiate golfer, and some of the things that she would say on that show didn't showcase this aforementioned, "intelligence."

So, in my opinion, based primarily from School of Golf, the show decided, and she was a willing participant to this, that they would have her on it for her other attributes and not because of her golf knowledge.  Whether fair or not, that's what she showed the world on that show.

pt - just as you condemn folks for having the viewpoint that, "if a woman has large breasts - natural or augmented - then according to this logic, she has nothing else," one shouldn't automatically presume that there's more substance to her even though she hasn't demonstrated as such.  She may or may not, but I'm not going to presume some level of intelligence if it hasn't been shown to me.

I saw her on the playing with the pros, Mo Martin, beat her outright. I didn't think they were supposed to show up the pro.

C'mon guys I said "at least two", so I left it open for those of you who admire her intelligence, personality and boobs.

Holly Sonders didn't do the Mo Martin Playing Lessons. That was Paige IIRC. Paige is a former LPGA player: http://www.lpga.com/golf/players/m/paige-mackenzie.aspx .

No one condemned anyone ... that's a little dramatic.

Your logic is flawed... Martin Hall has another partner now that Holly is gone, and she doesn't have large breasts. So maybe Martin needed someone to demo his drills, and TGC decided someone who had golfed at a higher level was best -- Holly, and now Karen Stupples.

Willing Participant? ... more flawed logic. She had a contract and was paid to do as requested.

But if you liked her figure, maybe someone else isn't flawed... :-$

TGC ... Sara Brown would make a great replacement.      Her golf career isn't going anywhere on the Symetra Tour, so ...

tap tap tap, is this thing on at TGC ... SARA BROWN !!

I just saw on The Big Break Invitational that Sara will be co-hosting School of Golf.

Oh, she is Martin's next model... at least she has a great smile and an effervescent personality. Got to be better than Stupples (?)

I never watch morning drive so I cannot relate to this show.   My TV stays off in the AM.....My morning routine is to shit, shower, shave, and go out the door...and that is all.

I watched playing lessons with Duke..............the blond chick that replaced holly has a good looking swing........probably a better golfer than Holly!!!

Holly definitely wins in HOTTIE POINTS though.......

Fox is also doing the summer ( Brazil) Olympics featuring golf and is building their stable of personalities to cover it. My guess is there will be continued movement of Golf personalities, most of which we are familiar with. after all it is about money for [quote name="RFKFREAK" url="/t/75749/holly-sonders-leaves-golf-channel-to-join-fox/162#post_1057215"] I rarely watched Morning Drive or the show where she speaks with the golfers while playing a few holes, so my scope is pretty much limited to when she was on School of Golf, and, going by that, she certainly didn't show off her, "intelligence."  Maybe it was the role she was in as Martin Hall's partner, but from what I understand, she was a pretty good collegiate golfer, and some of the things that she would say on that show didn't showcase this aforementioned, "intelligence."   So, in my opinion, based primarily from School of Golf, the show decided, and she was a willing participant to this, that they would have her on it for her other attributes and not because of her golf knowledge.  Whether fair or not, that's what she showed the world on that show. pt - just as you condemn folks for having the viewpoint that, "if a woman has large breasts - natural or augmented - then according to this logic, she has nothing else," one shouldn't automatically presume that there's more substance to her even though she hasn't demonstrated as such.  She may or may not, but I'm not going to presume some level of intelligence if it hasn't been shown to me. [/quote] Brian Williams on NBC evening news reads a script, no matter how personal or sincere it sounds- he is reading something that someone else wrote. as did Holly. Sanders . If you think she is pulling questions and ideas out of her head you are mistaken. There is a time frame that must be adhered to on the show right down to the 1/2 second, nothing is left to chance. My point is even though she may come across as intelligent on the show its not here's however if she fools you into thinking that than that makes her good at her craft. As is the case with Brian Williams.

I totally agree, I still don't get why a young hottie like that, who could score movie star or world top 20 pro golfer caliber players would choose an old, boring talking head like him. He must be well "gifted".

Morning Drive just isn't the same without her. Same with Golf Lessons. She WAS that channel. I saw that the ratings have taken a huge plunge. Guess NBC is probably wishing they would of paid her. I like Gary, Damon and Charlie. Lauren isn't half bad but is definitely no Holly, post baby. It's hard to watch some of those goons now so early in morning.

I haven't seen recent ratings but I surmised this would occur. Any chance you can post a link?

    • Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…
    • OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
    • Some thoughts after the 1st 9 holes of the year. The driver was pretty good, nothing crazy. My miss seems to be just a push. The start line is a bit too far right for my taste, but they are drawing back at least. Hitting middle-ish of the face to slightly toe. Part of the right miss is a bit of open face and off the toe slightly.  Irons, some really good strikes, others were not so good. I am feeling a few things, when I am being mindful of the swing I made.  1) Got to get the pause down again, and keep things shorter (as usual). One of the best iron shots was when I tried to mimic Rahm's swing length, lol. I caught a flier and hit an 8-iron like 190 yards into an area of no return for that golf ball. The swing felt great 😉  2) I got to stay taller in transition, feel like I gain tons of space between my hands and my chest. The bad swing is the old swing, bad right elbow, tilt to lower the club. This was too much shallowing, and hitting the ball fat. I just think of it this way, you are bent over, and you can reach the ball at address. So, you can reach the ball at impact by getting your hands down.  3) The final thing is the timing. It might take some time to get some flow into the swing. Timing up hands down and the turn is a bit off. Focusing on the hands down kind of stalls everything for me, at least it feels like my hips do not turn. I end up hitting a decent strike, just feels meh athletically, lol.  Short game was Ok, which means pretty good for not practicing it. Not short, but not round destroying.  Putting, doing much better now that I quickened up my routine. Line up, looking at my target. Glance down at the ball to get into my stance. Glance up at my target spot again, then hit the ball with in like 1-2 seconds after looking back down at the ball. Trying not to get to static over the ball while putting.   
    • Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.
    • Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…
