I enjoyed it, no complaints. Bryson is who he is, as is Phil.

Previous versions were on CNN International of all things…but I don’t know how to watch that.

 

According to my program guide that's where it was again this time. However for some reason while I did have access to that for the previous one this time I did not. I never watch CNN anyway and refuse to pay for the International version so I did without.

It was pretty good at the start, but lost steam as the proceedings took so long. 
 

That coupled with the awful camera work, audio and announcing made it rough to watch. They need production quality that matches the star power. I tuned out after hole 14. 

 

I didn't even last that long.  The banter back and forth was nice, but simply put, you can't have non-golf people in the production truck and camera crew try and put this thing together.

 

The course was nice and it was a beautiful setting.  But I would suggest that if they do this sort of thing again, they match it up with an event on the PGA Tour so the infrastructure is already in place as far as cameras and production.  Like in Hawaii during the Sentry TOC week or at Sawgrass during Players week.

Not possible. Completely different networks, and thus, infrastructure and equipment. Also, the moment the last shot is struck on Sunday, the trucks are already being loaded with the equipments and are off to the next stop.

Or I can flip over to the NBA Finals. Which is what I've done.

That's what I did. Then I checked back in a bit later and watched until they started interviewing Baker Mayfield, then it was back to the NBA. One last check later on and I saw the conclusion.

 

If they do this again, I think I'd rather just watch some competition with pro golfers. Maybe go with a PGA/LPGA combo instead.

Rogers is a far superior golfer to Tom Brady, impressed with his ball speeds

 

Hearing Phil is what makes these matches worth it. .. 

 

i think a net better ball would be better, pro’s play their own ball as do the am’s

 

Give me three 2 somes… would be better but of course the 6-some needs to play in 5hrs max.   Maybe even do 6 holes scramble, 6 holes better ball and 6 holes modified alternate shot

I really enjoyed it.  To be Phil's playing partner in an event like this would be a dream.  And man the views on that course have me booking a ticket to Montana!

And did they ever address or explain Phil's therapy tape or wrist wrap?

 

 


I think this post was a great analysis. As far as the wrap on Phil's hand, they did ask him at some point and he just gave some generic response about how he was a baby, how he couldn't take a hit like Brady/Rodgers, and that he got an "Ow-ie". That was about all the info he gave on it.

Well, I enjoyed it. Not sorry. I knew this one needed to be taped because only having one foursome = commercials and Jimmy Rogers-like human interest time fillers. I thought the golf and interaction was entertaining, and I am a Charles Barkley fan.

Nice analysis by "smashdn".

 

The Match met my expectations, no more or no less.

 

On a side note, it always surprised me when casually throwing a football with professional or college players - they put more than zip on the ball - not sure why they do that.  If you happen to misjudge one, you can lose teeth, get a bloody nose or a jammed finger.  😖

They do that to prevent interceptions. At the collegiate level, and especially at the pro level, the DBs are so damn fast...One of my friends in college played D1 quarterback and bounced around the NFL for about 10 years as primarily a backup quarterback. I noticed the same thing playing fun ball with him....that was his answer...

I think Barkley is becoming one of my favorite television personalities across the board. He comes off as genuinely curious about golf even referencing some of Immelman’s lessons and golf knowledge from the last few weeks.

 

Most importantly He does not pander to any group at all.
 

He has interesting stories that span decades as a sports celebrity across all different players from different sports.

These events all seem to follow that pattern. I guess it makes me appreciate how much work goes into properly televising a golf event. We're so used to it looking easy but it is definitely not.

Google News had an article today that said Brady had a 390 yard drive, video showed 167 ball speed, don"t think that is happening.

Sure it is. They had one 777 yard Par 5 that the first 500 yards was straight downhill at elevation. GolfWrxer's would have driven the green!

Ya, the arm strength is dope, our Uncle Rico qb had zip, you definitely wanted to catch the ball with you hands and away from your face lol

 

 

But, what’s really amazing is the quick release of the big time qbs and the power generated with a seeming flick and f the arm. 
 

40 yard throw here with his feet planted on nothing but…air!

I'm surprised no one mentioned Rodger's comment to Phil loud and clear on the first tee - "Hey Phil is that that new Taylormade you got there?" 🤣🤣

 

Phil just gave him the wry smile and didn't say anything, I was dying.  I'm sure Callaway must have loved that one lol.
