Now that the PGA Tour tournaments are being broadcast by The Golf Channel what's your opinion (for those able to get it) on how they're doing so far?

I for one like the idea of being able to it on and see actual professional golf at the highest level and not some informercial about the latest swing gadget. I've found myself watching at different times of the day and am liking what I'm seeing so far. I've enjoyed for years watching the European Tour early in the mornings and now with the PGA tour its simply great. Its nice to be able to just turn it on and watch for a few minutes.

I'm still getting used to the commentating. So far so good. I also heard that certain locations, the Golf Channel is broadcasted in HD.

So your saying they are using HD cameras but the station isnt able to use HD on air? If thats the case it should look better than it does now.

I wish I could watch, out in the sticks where I am from I have to upgrade my cable subscription to digital to get the golf channel. So i don't get it and that really sucks. I suppose I could just upgrade but the benefits do not out way the costs right now. So I am stuck with no golf on thurs or fri..

Actually, on Jan 3rd, Comcast launched The Sports Channel which is an HD broadcasted channel. The Golf Channel and Versus will simulcast on this channel in HD. The unfortunate part is that this channel is not available in certain areas. If you have Comcast, call them and get this channel.
