That's what baseball is for.

Although, I fell asleep watching Top Gun.

A comment from someone who never started a thread. Sharing opinions is the whole point of an open forum.

Wow! Well, now I guess I couldn't care less what YOU think. And I have a very nice life, so stop being jealous.

The guy cuts and pastes the same stock answer to nearly all his responses!

If you mean the last one hope you did not miss the incredible special effects.

1) The "cart cam" is the stupidest idea, ever, in the history of sports coverage predating gladiatorial combat in the Roman coliseum.

2) NBC/Golf Channel should profusely apologize to the viewing public for inflicting the "cart cam" on their audience.

3) The NBC producer who came up with this idea should be immediately fired and banned from the TV industry for life

4) Someone should do a public service and let the air out of all the tires on both "cart cams"

5) Davis Love and Trevor Immelman should wake up and put black tape over the camera lenses
What President provides the "Cup"?

We like the action of the President's Cup, more shots to see - match play is so much more interesting. BUT can't stand the split screen, millions of commercials and hurricane updates at crucial points when the storm is still a bit away. We will continue to DVR and skip through all the junk. That's what better about the LIV, including the shotgun starts so everyone is on the course at the same time.

Aside from the "cart cam", it was pretty interesting to watch. At least the Internationals put up a bit of a fight towards the end. But imagine if there was a womans' Presidents Cup? I bet the Internationals would be tough to beat on that one.

The shots of people riding the golf cart are on no more than 30 seconds. I assume you also don’t like, in football games, when shots of fans in the stands shown rooting for their team is not great either.

I'm sure there is a tee shot or a putt that could be shown in 4,5, or 12 matches out there in the same 30 seconds. A football game has only one play at a time. Once they've shown every shot, they can add all the fluff they want, however, that was not the case.

You referring to "What did they say when you called them?"

Why have new ideas, progress and improved technology - if they're not used?
I'm a big fan of the Toptracer.. I wish they had used it more in the broadcast...

This year, US president Joe Biden will serve as the Honorary Chairman."

What is the Presidents Cup and why is it called that?
I saw Bill Clinton and George Bush there but I didn't see Biden there..
