Golf Channel To Give U.S. Open Sectional's Proper Coverage
/Mentioned in today's Johnny Miller conference call and surely to be hyped some more is Golf Channel's planned coverage of U.S. Open Sectional Qualifying Monday. Considering the disaster that has been trying to get news on Sectional Qualifying day--easily the most democratic day of golf in the U.S.--the channel is rolling out all day coverage from each site.
On the Monday (June 4) of qualifying for the U.S. Open Championship, the channel will provide coverage from 7 a.m. to midnight as golfers try to qualify in sectional play at 11 locations. The coverage will be anchored from Golf Channel's Orlando studios, but will include dedicated shows and updates throughout the day from reporters and cameras at all those locations.
I know, I know. Not as fun as coming to GeoffShackelford.com all day and hoping that the live links to various regional golf associations are working and updated, but it's a start.
And something tells me the USGA will be stepping up their coverage as well.
