Why isn't the men's member-guest on TV?
I wish the Golf Channel would drop the Champions Tour and broadcast my club's member-guest tournament instead. Wouldn't you watch? There's way more drama:

The spectators are appreciative:

The putting is less tedious, especially after dark:

Protracer was practically made for it:

The player endorsements are more persuasive:

There are always plenty of refreshments:

We get pizza during the putting contest:

Faster foursomes are allowed to play through:

There are moments of high drama -- like when the pro has to explain to a member who didn't read her email that the course is closed all weekend, except for participants:

And you see shots the pros won't even try:
