Memorial Tournament

Instead of the talking heads talking about nothing, why doesn't the Golf Channel show the morning play? I'd like to see Tiger's round.

Tony Finau pretty much collapsed yesterday toward the end. I'd like to see him make a comeback today. I'm not pulling for anybody in particular, but I hate to see a player fall so fast.

That is weird to not be showing it, especially when you’ve got a tournament like this one where the the top 10 seems to reshuffle after every hole. I’ll be interested to see what they do with the pins because the greens had gotten really hard by yesterday afternoon, and if they end up combining that with tough pin placements today, we could be in for a wild final round.

Pins are tucked in every hole. NLU guys said they heard the crew was told “just give the greens enough water to last the day. We don’t care about them tomorrow”. They could essential be rolling at 16 today.

They can just let the greens die in the heat since they're all going to be ripped up and redone after the tournament is over. Not sure why they'd spend all that money to renovate a course since the place is already first class. Seems like a waste.

I played Ross Bridge a few years ago when they said the greens were at 15. That's brutal.

Cameramen & announcers gotta get their breakfast and morning coffee before their shift starts at noon.

Just checked the weather in Columbus, and they have a heat advisory with heat index as high as 105 for the afternoon. Those bentgrass greens will be crisp to non-existent by the time the day's over.

I’m with you. I wouldn’t mind seeing it without taking heads, and no commercials

Seriously, I have to dvr 20mins behind so I can skip the commercials about the square strike wedge for the 1000th time.

The ratings wouldn’t be enough to pay for the broadcast rights.

The PGA wants you to pay for the PGA Tour Live streaming service/app to watch featured groups that play before the Live TV coverage starts

It’s been on the Golf Channel since noon

 

[RocketDawg]

Yeah, I sorta misspoke. They apparently started later than yesterday and we were able to catch most of Tiger's round.

Thing is, we already pay a premium to get the Golf Channel. I think I had to sign up for the 250 on Dish in order to get Golf and others like Nat Geo.
