The Golf Channel makes history: What of Kelly Tilghman, first female golf anchor for PGA Tour?
Quick first impression of the first, historic, female anchor in a PGA Tour broadcast booth:
Not bad. Not bad at all.
If Kelly Tilghman was nervous about making history, she didn’t show it during The Golf Channel’s own historic opening shot with the, in opening round coverage of the Mercedes Championship in Hawaii.
She was smooth and blended seamlessly with analyst Nick Faldo and even guest analyst Rocco Mediate.
She set up Faldo well, and appears to have a fairly wry sense of humor herself, which is definitely called for in golf.
“There are a variety of responsibilities for me, first and foremost, help Nick tee off and maybe make sure his tie is straight, too, when he’s not looking,” Tilghman told the Detroit News before Thursday’s broadcast.

She was having a drink at the end of the day, and I sidled up to her table. But because I didn't know anyone there, I didn't have much to say beyond my usual "in the presence of a lovely woman" line:

Smooth I ain't.
concept that is only important to a

Yes, I'm criminally handsome, but the women-folk like them smooth talkers.
Then who is that guy in the picture next to your name?
I am fairly certain that picture is Tim's grand mother...
If tiger doesnt play then they have a chance.
But in reality if the golfers would get out and run and workout and spend time on thier games they wouldnt have to worry about tiger but play as well as he does.
