  • Needs more substance, less fluff.

    Looking for education, too much wasted airtime. Too much ego, lacking genuine substance. Heavily golf slanted.

  • Awesome

    I down load three or four the night before and enjoy while I cut greens and other things. Usually two for greens, four for fairways. Time just cruises a long.
