Rejected…Again

By Sean ⋅ May 18, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

So, four years ago the LPGA rolled into my town and hosted the HSBC World Match play at Hamilton Farm. My wife and I attended the event as spectators and had an absolute blast. One of the most amazing moments was watching Annika Sorenstam hole out for eagle on the 9th hole of the Highlands course. At the time, The Deep Rough was just starting out, and I used the event as inspiration for one of my first posts, a review of the HSBC World Match play. Sure, the post probably was not anything special, but I do not think it did anything but paint the LPGA in a positive light.

PGA Championship Interactive Coverage

By Sean ⋅ August 6, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

If you remember back to the Masters and US Open, I posted about the interactive coverage DirecTV had put together for those events. Not to completely come across as a salesman, the coverage is pretty neat. There is a special PGA Championship channel that displays several feeds from the course. You can quickly switch from one area of action to another. You also have access to a live leader board on your TV as well. Unfortunately I moved recently, and I do not yet have a dish capable of receiving the HD channels, so I’ll be back to the old standard definition coverage of the PGA Championship. For those of you lucky enough to have a big old HDTV and HD access, enjoy!

US Open Live Interactive Coverage

By Sean ⋅ June 11, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

If you were a DirecTV subscriber during the Masters no doubt you saw the awesome interactive coverage. Between all the live on course cameras, interactive scorecard and interviews…it was pretty awesome! Apparently it was successful enough for them to offer the same coverage during this week’s US Open at Torrey Pines. I can’t wait to check this out!
