Sneakylong We got down to 40 degrees this morning. Supposed to get into the 30's tomorrow morning. Looks like golf is out this week. Too nippy for our 7:22 am tee time. Monday is looking warmer with a low of 60 and high of 75.

We're supposed to play in our monthly scramble on Sat. Still waiting to see if the pro is going to cancel. Supposed to get up in the 50's but will be still around 40 at 0830 shotgun time.

    Blair is nothing without Hall.
    However, nobody would watch either one teach if they were alone.

      Breed is a good teacher for the average golfer but should slow the pace down for TV.
      He will land on his feet. He doesn't need TGC anymore, imo

      I watched Breed for the first few years, but started to lose interest. Martin Hall was who I started watching as I liked his style better, but now I don't watch either one. Nor do I look at magazines anymore. Too much repetition with all of it. I still watch Breed once in a while as I like how he works when showing different lessons. I don't pay attention to his lessons though as all those shows did was screw up my swing as, like a fool, I tried most of the things being shown. Bad idea as I am still trying to get back to MY basics.

      ESPN has pretty much gutted their sports talk show hosts.

      Can't take Stephen A Smith.... used to listen to Mike and Mike religiously, but they disbanded back near the end of last year. I do, on occasion, like listening to Lebatard and Stugotz, but it depends on the mood. Mostly on Monday mornings. And more because of Stugotz than Lebatard.

      Fox Sports has scraped up all of ESPN's talk-show talent that they let go with the reorganization that began a few years back and ESPN really hasn''t got much podcast programming that makes me want to tune in these days.

      I still think Dan Patrick is the best.


        Damn...I love watching the Fix ... Our golf group always talks about it. What's funny, and it's something we say, none of us can stay awake for a whole episode.

        My wife gives me crap..." How can u fall asleep with this guy screaming at you?" I look at her and say to myself..." I'm married..."

        Bummed though..even though with the dvr it took me 2 hours and 4 naps to get through it, I enjoyed it.

        Breed did a great job. His enthusiasm and rapid fire delivery contained a lot of gems of instruction. I found it best to record the show and then I could apply or absorb the stuff better.

        Wasn't a fan of the golf fix, but it did have some good info on it.

        They should have called him Machinegun Breed. He talked so fast it was hard to assimilate the info unless you had recorded it and could back up and listen a couple of times. I enjoyed him for 3 o 4 years but he wore pretty thin for me.

        I liked Michael Breed on the Golf Fix, but the nature of the program will always need an occasional fresh face to keep it alive.

        That's my take, GC cutting costs hence guys like Breed and Fienstien gone. Breed was good, imo. He only had so much time in his segments, hence the rush. I've seen other videos from him that are much more relaxed.

          4 days later

          Here's an interview with Michael Breed and he basically says he got tired of the travel,
          plus he's got two young kids at home he wants to spend more with.
          He's also building a tv studio in his new home so he'll still be giving golf instruction vids,
          just not on TGC anymore.
          Sounds like he left on his own terms not theirs.
