Amazing!

Coverage is weak at best - and never opens easily

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve deleted and re-downloaded this app and still I have problems just seeing featured groups. I don’t know why they can’t carry the regular coverage.

Watch what ?

The live feed to watch doesn’t work. That stinks.

Not a professional tournament

disgraceful to golf

Solid app

Not quite as good as the Masters but definitely better than the PGA and US Opens, love the traditional aesthetics combined with a slick modern UI
