Unhappy Canadian Open TV times?

Is the GC not showing the LPGA today? On LPGA.com it states 12-2pm. On the program guide it states Euro Tour in that slow [?]

Tired of the LPGA not getting the respect is should. :(

yikes, like 12am tomorrow morning then for 1st round coverage I take it? Yuk.
I wish they would get more recognition. I could care less about the Euro Mens tour.

btw, who was this new announcer with Judy last weekend? He didn't have much flavor and it would have been nice to see a legend in there instead.

Regards,
Scott

Yup. 12 am Friday morning.

I think it was Tom Abbott in the booth with Judy last weekend. I believe the idea is to have a skilled play-by-play guy along with some golf legend doing the color commentary. Tom is supposed to be the play-by-play guy and Judy is supposed to be the color commentator. I'm not sure either is doing a great job. They had Nicole Castrale in for a little bit and she showed some promise. Maybe when she retires in a few years she could have a career in broadcasting.

Very well said right there.
His flavor wasn't there for me. Nicole seemed very nice. With all of that surgery she had, she prob won't be able to play long.

I LOVE the LPGA golf, I hope and Pray that is gets a needed lift somehow!

Our local paper - which has been known to publish news that is late and wrong - is showing round one broadcast on GC at 9pm Pacific.

Correct which is Midnight here.

However we will be getting 3 hours live on Saturday and 4 hours live on Sunday.

Not too bad.

Sorry. Like all good east coasters, I think the world revolves around Eastern Time.

12 midnight EDT (Boston, New York, Washington DC ...)
11 pm CDT (Chicago, Minneapolis, New Orleans ...)
10 PM MDT (Denver, Salt Lake City, Santa Fe ...)
9 pm PDT (San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle ...)
8 pm AKDT (Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau ...)
6 pm HST (Honolulu, Kauai, Maui ...)

Tiger shot a 66 at the Barclays.

TGC might pre-empt the LPGA coverage with another chance to see his round stroke by stroke.

'Stroke by stroke',that's kind of fitting for their devotion to him...

Tiger Woods and Michelle Wie both on top of the Leader Board. Just like nature intended.

Not sure what to do? If Tiger is on Top for the 3rd Round I just might go (as will everyone else), but not often you get to see Wie on Top.

Finchem and Whan must have been making some Vodoo dolls.

Not to mention the ace.
