Viewer Discretion Warning: Two 19th Hole Episodes This Week

/

Not one, but two all-new Grey Goose 19th Holes air Thursday and Friday nights. They feature former USGA Executive Director David Fay, author John Feinstein and yours truly all gracefully refereed by Golf Channel's Steve Sands.

Topics will cover the incredible 2013 season's best players, favorite moments, best rounds, and of course plenty of commentary about Tiger, Rory, Phil and others.

The first show airs Thursday, December 5th and the second show on Friday, December 6th at 8:30 PT, 11:30 PM ET.

Earlier this year, the trio debated Bethpage as a Ryder Cup venue back in August before it became official. A similar discussion this time around will include places we'd like to see golf return to ala Merion and The National Golf Links. 

Hope you'll tune in!

Video: Top 10 PGA Tour Moments Of 2013

/

Like the rest of the viewing public, it's great to see that PGA Tour Entertainment ignored the wrap-around schedule flop and chose to use the traditional end the season to put together the top 10 moments of the 2013 season.

Not surprisingly, the forgettable "calendar year" events didn't make the list because there were just too many great moments from the real calendary year to savor.

Henrik Stenson's FedExCup win didn't really fit into this group, but people do need to keep their jobs and I get that. But pretty much everything else here from Sergio's tree climbing to Patrick Reed's win to Tiger's umpteenth win at Firestone to Phil and Adam's unforgettable major triumphs, it's all here in a nice tight package:

Don't Be Shocked If Dufner Tees Off Early Saturday

Nice use of Twitter by Jason Dufner to lobby for a shortened Northwestern Mutual World Challenge so that the famous Auburn grad can watch the team he spoke to earlier this year play in the SEC Championship game.

And nice use of Twitter by Tiger Woods to quickly shoot down Dufner's request for an Auburn-shortened 36-hole event.

PGATour.com with all the details.

Bad news for Duf: cold temperatures make frost delays almost inevitable this week. That's not stopping him from an onslaught, later Tweeting a cryptic warning that Saturday at Sherwood could be a "Caddyshack Saturday."

Videos: Norman, Coore Talk Design On Morning Drive

Look, I had some free time today and try as I might, I just couldn't bring myself to transcribe the various ridiculous statements by full-time vinter and part-time golf architect Greg Norman.

If you must, you can watch him talk signature holes, sustainability and his devotion to nature here, here and here, you too can feel the pain.

Or, if you'd like to hear from someone who practices what he preaches, here are the Bill Coore segments here, here and here.

Tuesday's show includes segments with Jim Urbina and Rees Jones.
