We have not had cable for several years but can watch most of what we want to on the computer or my tablet. My hubby likes golf, but often cannot watch the whole game or just gets snippets, or only certain days, and on occasion no days at all of a particular tournament. I have looked at the PGA site and it looks to me like if you join ($49 a year) that you still can't watch unless you have a cable or satellite or some such provider to stream it through. Do any of you watch golf on the computer or tablet and if so, how? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I don't play or even watch golf any more after my worst day of golf. It started out fine than on the second tee my best friend George dropped dead. It was my worst day. It was hit the ball and drag George, Hit the ball and drag George, Hit the ball and drag George. Ill never forget it.

So, George was not an immoveable object from which players could be granted relief, then.

First time I heard that one was back in 1948.

Very good. I was only 18 back in 1948. My dad was a joke writer and wrote for some or the best back than.

Today's funny guys just ain't funny. Today's talk show host can't hold a candle to Carson, who understood humor. I even remember Jack Paar, Carson's predecessor. He, too, was funny. I still remember when Paar had his arm around Phyllis Diller and he asked her how she was feeling and Diller answered, "you should know!!" There are so many, too, who learned comedy from the Vaudeville era who actually knew what humor was. Jack Benny even knew that three fingers on his chin was funnier than four....from the reaction of audiences.

You may be able to find your program on a ROKU device. There's a lot of programs there. Good luck

Possibly "Temporary Ground Under Repair" ?

Install Kodi ( see HTPC Beginers web site) install pro sports add-on. Should be able to get as many tournaments as you please. I'm assuming you already have high speed internet as you are already streaming to your pc. Mines still a work in progress but am pleased with it so far, allowing me to cut the cable.

Your lucky you were 19, dragging George today would be a challange.

You've just been given a 2-stroke penalty for that.

I don't play or watch but it seems to me buying a TV card for your computer would do the trick.

I suspect not. By now George would be nothing but skin and bones so would be much lighter.
