About this one: "Just by watching it, you will take at least two strokes off your game," said Eric Shanks, executive vice president, DIRECTV Entertainment."

This seems very exciting but I don't know if i can afford to take days off to watch them. Too bad they can't do this during the weekend.

If it's anything like the recent Tennis coverage, it will be done very well. I was very impressed with how well the French open has been covered, so bravo to that (with golf clapping).
