Pebble Beach TV Ratings Go Low....

[Wayne_Kozun]

One tournament, run by the network, appears to produce nothing more than a promo for their network, a three hour commercial, the other tournament, run by the CLUB, appears to produce a telecast for lovers of golf everywhere.

There is nothing like the Masters but calling it a tournament is incorrect as, according to Hootie, it is a "tuna-mint".

I don't know if you gents know this, I know I didn't until talking to a reporter for Golf Magazine. During the Masters, only the United States doesn't receive commericals.  Japan, Europe, etc. does receive and pay AN for the small amount of commerical time the Master's permits.

In short, when we get "Master's Moments", the rest of the viewing countries are getting commericals.

Regardless, unlike any other in many respects. So goes the Master's, so goes golf.

Not exactly.......

In the UK, the Masters is shown on BBC which is commerical free, so instead of ads and Masters Moments we get Peter Allis droning on about how the the "European Challenge" is doing coupled with numerous shots of Sandy Lyle and Colin Montgomerie missing putts.......

Thanks for that corrected info!

BTW, Alliss is so much better than most anyone we have announcing golf.
