Next Stop On The Charlie Beljan Low Blood Sugar Attack Tour!

Amazingly, NBC News continues to perpetuate the saga of Charlie Beljan's "panic attack" from last fall's Disney event, the same "attack" that came after not ingesting food for 20 hours.

In my day, not eating for that long and feeling faint on the course would be a low blood sugar or energy issue. But these days it's a panic attack.

Thanks to reader DTF for warning me about Friday's Rock Center maudlinfest...and I love Mary Carillo, but this is absurd:

Video: Chinese Can't Get Enough Of Michael Phelps' (Golf) Balls

A sneak preview of next week's episode of The Haney Project and I must say, this is a problemtic habit of the Chinese galleries at Mission Hills.

Golf Channel Sets Some Ratings Records At Doral

Tracking Johnny's Flip Flop(s) On Anchoring

Masterful breakdown from Jaime Diaz in Golf World Monday on Johnny Miller's almost-daily position switches on the anchoring ban, with some of the switches depending on who is visiting the booth.

Look, many have waivered because it's a complex issue. But multiple positions in a week?

Can't wait for the U.S. Open when Johnny pats Mike Davis on the back for a job well done! Too bad NBC doesn't have the PGA so that Ted Bishop could get the same pat.

Video: Michael Breed Makes Leno's Monologue

Go to the 6:35 mark to see Golf Channel yeller Michael Breed make Jay Leno's Tonight Show monologue in a segment called "It Looks Dirty But It's Not."  (Okay, the big reveal is below the video...I couldn't help it.)

While Tim Finchem Was Distracting Us Sunday...

NBC used this new graphic to show where various driving distances finished on the 7th hole at Dove Mountain. I only saw it by watching the re-broadcast after reader Steve asked if I had seen it. Not coincidentally, this aired at the time Tim Finchem was live on Golf Channel talking about the tour's opposition to the anchoring ban.

It's not often we get good visual innovations in golf broadcasting that help put architectural features into context, but this one certainly does.

Also kind of amazing that Ian Poulter had the long drive.
