Question:
Everyone should complain to the PGA and CBS. If they can’t show the complete playoff, they should not be alowed to show PGA golf events.

Actually the best place to send complaints would be to: C.E. Lee Chairman/CEO GTE 1255 Corporate Drive Irving, TX 75038 United States (972) 507-5000 Both the PGA and CBS listens to him. "Someone likes every shot" bk

I think another good place would be PGA.com. IMO, complaints from all of us golfers to this org would carry more weight in getting results than going to CBS. Flood the PGA and they would get the message, we’re pissed! They could exclude networks that don’t agree to broadcast COMPLETE coverage, start to finish.

Make that PGATour.com (PGA.com is the professional organization not the tour) … which conveniently happens to be in partnership with CBS Sportsline.

Sportsline. I looked on the site and the editor’s email address is
I e-mailed sportsline and received this response: "Although we have a relationship with CBS Sports, we are solely responsible for the production of the web-site found at cbs.sportsline.com. Your comments, however, are extremely important to CBS Television. Please click on the link below to share your comments with CBS. http://cbsnews.cbs.com/ On the bottom-left hand rail, you will see the word "FEEDBACK". This will take you to the feedback page…" Seems no one wants to claim responsibility for this fiasco.

Here’s the list of everyone to whom you might want to send your input. My feelings are that the best track is to GTE then to the Salesmanship Club of the Nelson tournament. I think that the CBS and PGA will just point fingers at each other. The first two really have some input. C.E.

They’ll say that they only are a website, but will pass the comments on. CBS is a little more diffused. Try this url, but when you’re asked for a destination and you enter "sports", it might go to sportsline.com http://cbsnews.cbs.com/now/feedback/0,1611,412,00.html Here’s the editor of sportsline.com. They will cop out. The people who run the Byron Nelson tournament (The Salesmanship Club) will be interested in your input too. They raise more money than any other event on the PGA tour for charities…and the PGA tour itself. This lady will pass on to the Salesmanship Club officers, and maybe to Byron himself.

The worst one I ever heard of, I didn’t even know was happening at the time. In the 1994 U.S. Open at Oakmont, Ernie Els and Loren Roberts went to sudden death after an 18 hole playoff with Colin Montgomerie. When Els and Roberts were on the 19th, TV cut in to show the OJ Simpson arraingment. I was at Oakmont, and saw the playoff end, but I was still pissed when I found out the network did that! Especially since every other station was showing OJ!

Sounds like CBS has had an earful from the PGA Tour, I guess it was part of the contract that CBS couldn’t cut away. Plenty of other people are making their displeasure known as well and CBS has said they won’t do it again: http://www.golf.com/news/gol/pga/2000/05/15/958422970121.html Jeff – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Organization: Verio Newsgroups: rec.sport.golf Here’s the list of everyone to whom you might want to send your input.
