“that was, well......not smart. British open in the morning and jordan, barkley and all in the afternoon. That event has no chance of getting viewers let alone anyone there to watch. The golf channel, I love ya, but you got the wrong end of this deal. Who is going to announce? All will be at St. Andrews. WOW! Not smart PGA, not smart.”
