PGA Tour back?
« on: June 08, 2020, 10:26:45 AM »
Right now, I have almost no interest in sitting down to watch golf on TV.  Perhaps by the time the US Ams arrive (Women's & men), I might then have an interest to watch golf.


I am enjoying back to playing golf.  I am enjoying sitting down to read some good golf writing.
But spending an afternoon in front of the TV watching golf, at this moment in time -- I can not get interest in that.


I am guessing I am alone and TV golf ratings will probably be slightly better than normal.
But is anyone else - due to the current events - less inclined to spend a Sunday afternoon watching TV golf at Colonial, & Hartford, and Detroit.

I'll be watching Colonial with great interest.  Probably Detroit as well.  But other than the majors and a handful of tournaments at courses I like, I can't remember the last time when I've sat and watched golf uninterrupted for more than 15 minutes.

"Wow, that one traveled over 350 yards in the air, David."


"Yes, that should leave him with a gap wedge approach.  When you have the others coming in with 8 and 9 irons that's a real advantage."

I think people are starved for any sport "live", that it will get good TV numbers.
I'm sure I will watch some of it if I am not out playing instead.

I'm with David,

Unless you're in to Futbol, or corn-holing, ain't much else on in the way of sports.  One thing this pandemic has made clear is how much less I watch TV when live sports aren't on...

So yes i'll be tuning in...

Anybody else remember the term "corn-holing" to have a completely different meaning than it does today? ::)

Jeepers, I read about being into corn holing and thought WTF? Had to look it up to discover its the (bizarre) name of a game.

Nope, won't be watching golf.

Im bias, but I think it'll be interested watching the "bombers" play tree-lined Colonial with all the specific angles.

I'll check in on it for sure.


I'm curious if pace of play will be different w/o any fans present.

I’ll record it and watch it later at night for the spectacle of it all.
