Golf Channel

Pros: For golf addicts only
Cons: infomercials and poor tournament play

I can’t think of a sport any less deserving of an entire channel than golf (except maybe cricket). The programming consists of infomercials, self-help shows, and golf tournaments (in that order). Although, the tournaments they have on the Golf Channel...

Pros: classic matches,other tours
Cons: infommercial haven

The Golf channel for me like many others has been a real disappointment, except it does have its good times. There are just way to many of those infommercials. I have to admit I have watched many of the infommercials myself but they also repeat them over...

Pros: Soon the geezers will be extinct
Cons: It's on for 24 hours, you have to pay extra

I am a subscriber to Dish Network. The package we purchased consisted of around 300 channels. The only problem I've had with the service is that we have to pay for basic channels as WPIX, and other local channels separately. So, I asked my Father if...

Pros: Golf all the time, instruction
Cons: Very few live tournaments

If your the type of golf fan that would go to a Nike Tour tournament even though you don't know any of the names playing in the tournament, the Golf Channel is for you.

The Golf Channel is intended for the golf enthusiast. It has...

Pros: its a channel only for golf!!!!!
Cons: bad programming, reruns, infomercials

The golf channel is really not a very good channel. It has tons of reruns, boring programming and some infomercials. The fact is...there just isn't enough golf stuff to be able to make whole TV channel out of it. Despite this, i love this channel!! I...

Pros: Cheap
Cons: No Interesting Tournaments

As an avid fan of golf, I was really looking forward to the addition of The Golf Channel to my cable line up. I thought that this would be a great way to get all of the PGA/LPGA/SPGA tour action live. On the channels that I already had, the only coverage...

Pros: A Golfer's Dream
Cons: A Decent Amount of Reruns

The answer to the prayers of millions of golf junkies has come in the form of the Golf Channel. It was the idea of Arnold Palmer back in the early 90’s and came to fruition in 1995. Keep in mind that this was before a guy named something like Lion...

Pros: Good instructional segments
Cons: Who the Heck cares who wins the Zimbabwe Club Pro Championship?

The golf channel seems like a great idea to many of the golf fanatics around the country, but as a scratch golfer who plays 72 holes a week I cannot see the usefulness. Actually, there is one reason it is useful, but most of the programming leaves a lot...

Pros: tournament coverage
Cons: other shows suck

I looked forward to getting the Golf Channel on my cable system. Finally, the magic day came...and I was disappointed. This channel has so much potential, but doesn't come close to realization. The weekends are pretty good, because oftentimes one...

Pros: Hmmnnn let me see.........Tiger Woods plays there and he's a good player to watch..
Cons: Its golf....no cheering allowed by the crowd, almost silent color commentary, etc etc

Can I ask you something? Who likes to sit down and watch golf on tv? And then, for 24 hours?? Geez, aren't the highlights on Sportscenter and Fox tv good enough?

Golf is a game which requires ability, yeah , I will agree with that, because it...

Pros: golf is good
Cons: too much golf is bad

As a golf fan, I often criticize and even ridicule people who say that televised golf is boring. Even so, there is such a thing as too much golf, and the Golf Channel is a classic example of too much golf. Life is too short to watch the Nike Tour. I...

Pros: Easy to sleep to.
Cons: No Bob Barker or Adam Sandler.

I can't really see why anyone would pay for a cable channel devoted to Golf. It makes no sense whatsoever. I agree there is no other channel out there that you can watch a bunch of stuffy rich white guys in sweaters, almost break a sweat, but comon. Is...

Pros: What a great way to improve on such an intricate game
Cons: Sometimes the call in shows are too crowded with callers that it is hard to get through

Metaphorically, the golf channel is like having a caddy in my head after watching it and learning from it. After playing golf for five years I have found it to be a beneficial factor in my golf game to watch the golf channel. If I need advice on...

Pros: Great for those of us stuck inside all winter
Cons: meagre budget is reflected in the details

In the beginning, there were only three or four channels, and you got to watch whatever some doorknob in New York or California decided was good for you. Most of it stank, and deserved the appellation "vast wasteland". Then we...

Pros: get to see old people waddle around a field all day
Cons: your getting fatter and older than they are

What the hell is the world coming to when there are people sitting on they're asses watching an entire channel devoted to golf...are people just looking for the lamest way to run out the clock on their unbelievably unproductive lives? As if playing golf...
