    I miss pre-Comcast Golf Channel.

    Only three weeks' til CBS has Farmers/AT&T/Phoenix and Genesis. Best stretch of the year from my midwest couch.

    Amen brother.
    I’ll watch Pebble on Sunday only though. I have no desire to watch Ray Romano’s swing get analyzed.

    They've cut that back. Pebble is a signature event with a limited field.

    TGL. I don't get the excitement, except Tiger and Rory are starting it and Curry is an investor.

    Agreed. But then, I don't get why people watch videos of other people playing video games.

    The tech looks amazing but I hope the entire ESPN production isn't too over-slicked. I rolled my eyes when Marty Smith was named as the "sideline" reporter but on the other hand mic-ed up pro golfers are rarely as interesting as you think they'll be, so they can probably use some nudging.

    How’d you make that shot from your terrible lie, and what do you think about Alabama’s defense coming back?

    Well, I'm watching TGL. And I think I'm digging it because I've been semi-obsessed with WGT Golf online for the past two weeks. (I'm a Level 45 Pro already! ;))

    Maybe a little too gimmicky with the Hammer; they could do more with a little less. But it's intriguing.

    It looks like an oversized Golden Tee.

    It's fun watching the pros look bad on some of the putts, Tiger made a good point about how you can't store up any info on these greens like they do in real tournaments.

    I thought one of the most interesting parts of the night was when they showed the movable "pads" under the green which can be adjusted on the fly to change the topography.

    Shot-clock golf and they still go over the allotted two hours.
