TESTERS WANTED! ×

Recommended Posts

I don't know about you,but since Michael Breed has left,the instructional shows just suck and I am no longer intetested in the golf channel (not counting tournaments).

the website also is dismal and since they pulled all of his videos, there is nothing worthwhile on the website.

 

your thoughts.

What's in my Mizuno BR-D2 bag

Oh... I don't know about that necessarily. If you watch or do something long enough it will probably get a little old at times. I've even had periods throughout my golf career (amature golf career that is) where I'd take a short break. I enjoyed Breed but his show got a little old-tired. It's not the end of the world. I don't watch any other regular instructional programs they have much. Never been a Martin Hall watcher. His style and delivery just wasn't my thing. I can't comment on TGC website as I don't go there.

It's not the end of the world.

Maybe some guys here will direct you to other sources. ie... YouTube

Watching Feherty with Ian Poulter right now. I never cared for Michael (6 cups of caffeine all the time) Breed. He was just annoying to me.

I don't care so much for the instructional programs. I don't think you can have the individualized instruction needed to build a good golf swing in a 30 minute TV program directed at every golfer ever.

 

I do enjoy all of the tournament coverage (Euro tour, Web.com tour, LPGA, old reruns, etc.), Feherty, and a few other shows.

Same.

 

Too much talking.

 

What kind of student can process that kind of instruction when it's just blah blah blah blah.

Well, no more Morning Drive as of yesterday morning. I gotta admit, about the only times I caught this show was when they were broadcasting from the PGA Show, other than that, I rarely watched. Curious to see if these folks end-up with other channels covering tournaments...

Wow, a 2 1/2 year old thread resurrected from the dead.  Speaking of dead, that's Golf Channel in a nutshell.  They are moving their studios from Orlando to Connecticut.  Tell me how that makes any sense in any universe?  Sure, I'll tune in when they are covering actual golf, but to actually tune in to watch 3 talking heads give their (worthless) opinions on who is going to win, and what golfer is doing, or should be doing, or shouldn't be doing.  I mean, come on; do I really need another opinion to tell me what I can see with my own eyes?  And then they try and predict the winners to tournaments.  I mean, that's laughable.  Picking who wins a golf tournament is a total crapshoot.  And if I had a $1 for everytime someone picked Rory to win a tournament...

Hulu just raised their rates from $55 a month to $65.  I think the only channel I had watched on Hulu was Golf Channel.  They have the local channels, which is the other reason I got Hulu, but I honestly spend most of my TV viewing time on Netflix, Prime, or Disney+.  Hard to justify $65 when I watch everything else a ton more.

Yeah, did a search to find a Golf Channel thread instead of starting a new one.

I guess three people sitting around a table and talking/predicting is really no different than any ESPN show, or heck, any major network show these days....

yeah, same deal.  I don't watch any of those clowns on ESPN, or any other sports commentator.  They are all full of it.

I like the idea of a dedicated Golf Channel. The long run shows have run out their usefulness (is that a word?) it’s time for a shakeup with different shows and some new onscreen Talent.
Honestly I only watch the Tournaments especially the college kids. Notah Begays Kids Tournament the other day was OK.

Considering where NBC has their headquarters and how different media outlets are consolidating where people work and where studios are along with the reduction of in studios type shows that appears to be happening with the Golf Channel is makes a bunch of sense for NBC.

Swing X is a good show. I could care less about the rest of it. 

Would be really nice if they could somehow work out a deal to show the beginning of golf tournaments before prime time instead of just commenting on it. Even the masters has hours of play that is untelevised.

I cut the cord months ago. I got tired of hearing all the lies on the news, didn't want to see all the cities getting destroyed and the beat down of the police, etc. I watch Netflix, YouTube and surf the net. I can now buy a lot of new golf gear and clubs with that extra money that was spent on Cable. 😀
