I thought this was a fun video:

I instinctively knew all of the tunes. Not including any golf songs is an oversight though. A few goodies:

NBC with USO, NBA and Wimbledon, here's Wimbledon, the old one that's no more.

The opening fanfare of the Olympic theme is well known but the part that follows is just as good. 

Champions League:

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Haha, yes. We must continue to support Yanni. He's our most important Greek.

Also critical to Yanni's theme are Jim Nance's over-the-top lead ins. They no doubt elevate his music to great heights. Here's a good example, the 2012 Pebble Beach Pro-Am:

Damn you CBS, for retiring this....

 

EDIT: Oh and shame on me for not including the greatest sports TV theme song of all-time. @jamo this maaaay be slightly before your time, but this is IMO the pinnacle of TV sports theme songs.

The NBA on NBC Theme (known specifically as Roundball Rock), retired circa 2000 or so. It's been all downhill for our country since. Coincidence?? I think not!

Now, let's see its use in context:

Amazing.

This is cool! There's a radio show out of Cleveland that routinely plays old Indians, Browns, and Cavs theme songs.

I think it's important to remember that every piece of music you hear in media has been composed, scored, arranged, rehearsed, and recorded by someone! And those include some extremely talented composers! Heck, Barry Manilow got his start by writing "You deserve a break today" for McDonald's!

Great post. I'd like to make a loop out of the Open theme and queue it up just as I walk on to the tee box...

 

Of course it might be a bit anti-climactic as I drive the far right OB

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

Some good ones, but the best is the old Hockey Night In Canada theme. Has never really been the same since CBC lost the rights to it.

Outside of the Masters theme song, nevets88 hit all my favorites. I once even made a thread in another forum about how I'll miss NBC covering Wimbeldon because of the theme song. That thread had zero replies.

Ah, that's not the Olympic one I was thinking of.

My wife's ring tone is the FOX NFL Sunday theme. 

Mine is Smells Like Teen Spirit. 

Whatever.

      Day 134 (26 Apr 24) - played Minnesott today, worked with the mid-irons and approaches (especially the 7i).  Scoring was a little higher, but I was focused on making the needed adjustments to the swing to achieve desired distances.

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
