Have to agree with the posts above. The Golf Channel on the whole is quite simply awful.
There's only so many times a person can watch adverts for Bald Eagle balls, Slazenger K1 Drivers, The Perfect Club etc etc.
It's a shame to be honest as in amongst all the repetitive drivel there are some quite good instructional bits. Recently watched a very interesting session on wedge play with David Leadbetter which was really useful.
