Many of you have already cut the cord from your longtime cable television provider.  I wrote about my evaluation of doing this back in 2023. Giving up a security blanket called cable television has been hard to do.  In 2023, I successfully negotiated a cheaper overall rate by agreeing to a multi-year fixed price deal with our cable television and internet service provider. We could have opted to switch to an internet-based television provider at the time.  The price difference came out to less than $10/month to switch.  My wife and I agreed that the hassles probably weren’t worth $10 per month – yet. Three years later, it was time to go to bat with the same large cable television and internet service provider.  This time, the outcome would be different. We have enjoyed a three decade love/hate business relationship You may have seen a number of advertisements for our current cable/internet provider during the Winter Olympic games.  While watching the women’s US Olympic curling team lose the Bronze medal to the evil Canucks the other night, my wife and I saw the company’s promotional ad several times. It proudly proclaimed, “$50/month for 5 years of 1 GB internet service.  No price increases.  No contract required!” That’s funny.  The same company has been charging us $99 per month for the same level of service.  Why are they offering such a deep discount to newbies? Talk about bad timing.  The cable/internet company had just mailed the February bill to us late last week. It contained a big 20% surprise! The company raised our bill by $36.17 per month for our combined cable television/internet package (125 TV channels plus their “Superspeed” internet service). Our former bill was $182.33 per month. The new bill amounted to $218.50 per month.  There were no added services. Hey, that’s almost 20% more?  What is going on here?!!! Our cable television package has zero add-ons for premium movies or sports packages.  Just the 125+ channel tier has been fine for us. The menu of cable television services offered by this national provider has relatively few (five as of today) bundled packages at various price points. Their so-called basic package isn’t cheap and generally provides an assortment of local channels. No, thanks!  That’s why I bought my $29 Phillips plug-in antenna (for use as a back-up to watch local TV stations when needed). The next price level had been our current 125-channel line-up.  My wife was happy with her favorite channels like Food Network, HGTV, and a few movie options such as USA, Freeform, and AMC.  Her sports-nut husband generally watches ESPN, Golf Channel, and a few others from his 10′ x 10′ SwampSwami SportsCave in the back portion of the house. It’s OK to laugh and call me cheap.  I prefer being called “fiscally prudent” with respect to our monthly entertainment expenditures. We played this same game exactly three years ago We took a hard look at our options in 2023 after a similar price hike surprised us by the same folks. Here’s a link to that story. First, we decided to get rid of one of the two cable “boxes” and saved $14/month.  A $49 Roku stick on the TV back in my SportsCave allowed me to watch the same cable television offerings via our wireless internet. We had already purchased our own internet modem ($150) to jettison another of their monthly rental fees. It paid out in less than a year. When I was finally able to bargain to lock-in a multi-year pricing deal in 2023, the net price increase came to less than $10 month. We opted to stick around – and watch. Your cable company will pass along the higher prices of ESPN and others Some television pirates like ESPN have spent billions in the past decade bidding-up the cost of sports to maintain a dominant market position. They are quite aware that the vast majority of us sports-addicted viewers are likely to pay the higher tab. I get it.  You must also step back and evaluate your purchasing habits at times, too. Economics 201 would define this as the Elasticity of Demand.  At some price point, people will reject your product and walk away. Grocery and utility prices have gone up.  They are passing along the incremental costs of doing business.  Customers have to make some hard choices. Watching your wife shiver on the sofa during winter because her cheapskate husband wants to keep the thermostat at 68 degrees is not easy. Are those tears or icicles coming from her eyes? I no longer purchase as much of the now-$9/pound lean hamburger or my favorite hot chocolate mix anymore to save a few bucks. Tonight, it’s red beans and rice Monday at our house. Anyone from New Orleans knows that the dish is a local tradition borne out of economic necessity. We used to add smoked sausage to our Monday mixture years ago.  Alas, not anymore. Perhaps my waistline should send a thank-you note to our local grocer for pricing us out of few items which I loved to consume. Time for the latest big negotiation with the cable TV and internet provider! This weekend, I prepared myself for the upcoming discussion with a “Customer Retention” representative.  You have to be willing to walk away when arriving at this level.  That negotiating tactic had saved us hundreds of dollars in previous years. I updated my 2023 spreadsheet this weekend to affirm the TV channels we most heavily watch. Then, I looked-up the top internet-based television providers to see which one best satisfies our desires at a competitive price. By the way, here is my updated analysis of product offerings and prices for various providers as of February, 2026: My big telephone negotiation with our giant cable television/internet provider was not centered on the rising costs charged by ESPN, the local TV stations, and our overpriced regional sports channel. I wanted the company to defend its Winter Olympic offering a $50/month internet price to new customers while having the gall to charge us $99/month for the same speed and service level. Since the internet arrives at our house via their own lines installed years ago, that leaves only one party responsible for the $50 monthly internet price disparity. How did the call go? The cable television/internet provider’s customer service rep was quite skilled at defending his company’s $36+/month rate increase. I countered by asking how they can justify raising our home prices $36+/month while offering new customers a $50 lower internet monthly rate than this long-time customer is being charged. He said, “We’re probably losing money on that deal, sir.  To grow our customer base, we need to entice new customers to come onboard by offering something of value to them.” I responded, “So, you’re willing to raise the rates of a long-time customer like me who quietly pays his bill on time in order to lure others with a discount.  It seems like it should be the other way around.” He didn’t argue that point. Instead, he quickly deflected to asking about our cell phone provider!  The same cable/internet rep who raised the rates now wanted to discuss our cell phone business?  He was quite sure they could offer a lower price than Ma Bell was likely charging us. I told him that I was quite aware there were cheaper cell phone providers, but this call was about his company’s television and internet rates.  Please stay on topic. The representative mentioned their relatively new “Sports and News” TV package which is $15 per month less than our current service level.  Already aware of the option, I said the service tier also contained significantly fewer channels – including several of my wife’s favorite channels. The old axiom “Prior preparation prevents poor performance” is still valid. Ultimately, the cable TV/internet rep failed to offer a lower price for our current level of service.  He mentioned that we could save $10 month.  That was only if we would allow their company to directly bill us via credit card instead of having them prepare and mail a rather environmentally unfriendly monthly bill to us. I reminded him that their paper bill was how we noticed the significant rate increase like this one. We do utilize e-payments with business partners who do not unilaterally attempt to charge higher prices without a providing a higher level of service to go with it.  No, thanks. It was actually a rather civil conversation with an extremely knowledgeable representative who boldly held the company line. Here’s a good rule to remember about customer service interactions.  An unhappy customer will tell an average of 20-25 people about their bad experience with a company.  A happy customer will only mention their positive experience to, perhaps, four or five others on the average.  Bad news travels fast, too.   Ask Cracker Barrel. Their stock price dropped by 50% in a matter of weeks last year and still hasn’t recovered. And the winner is…??? We signed-up for and started using YouTube TV today.  It was very simple and took about ten minutes.   It comes with a five-day free trial.  Then the rate begins at a discounted $59.99/month level for two months.  The price will convert to the current standard $82.99/month after that. I will now receive the Big Ten Network, ACC Network, and CBS Sports Network in this package.  My wife (who felt uncomfortable about making this big change) seems pleased, too. We’ll both learn more about new internet-based TV product this week.  I will plan to return the cable TV box back to those other guys soon. For now, we are still utilizing the current provider’s internet service. Other fiber-optic providers have sent cards and letters for months wanting our business. That will be a much trickier business decision to make. I’ll be dialing for dollars to learn more soon. There is just one negative.  We will lose MeTV (one of our favorite channels) as part of this switch.  However, I just verified that we can receive MeTV via our local UHF channel in the SwampSwami Sports Cave utilizing my little ol’ $29 Phillips plug-in digital antenna. Our “exciting” Saturday nights watching classic TV favorites (Svengoolie, Batman, Star Trek, and Superman) has been rescued!   Victory is sweet!!!

“Golf With Jay Delsing” features a visit with Gary Williams, the host of “5 Clubs” on the Golf Channel. Also, there will be a complete breakdown of the latest news and notes from throughout the world of golf.

On this Monday edition of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams recaps a packed sports weekend before turning the page to golf, including a full look back at The Genesis Invitational and what it told us about where the game is headed.Gary starts with the moment that stole the weekend outside of golf, then rolls into the winners around the world and the headline story from Riviera. Jacob Bridgeman breaks through for his first PGA TOUR win, and Gary explains why his performance was so rare in the ShotLink era and why closing with a lead can be its own kind of pressure. From there, Gary digs into Scottie Scheffler's fight after an ugly start, the efficiency that makes him so dangerous even when he doesn't have his best stuff, and how Rory McIlroy's shot-making is starting to look like the kind of artistry that travels to Augusta and Shinnecock.Then, Billy Horschel joins the show ahead of TGL action with Atlanta Drive. Billy gives a real update on where his body is after surgery, what it's been like building endurance again, and why he feels he's trending in the right direction. He also talks about why the indoor, prime-time environment fits him, how the nerves in TGL compare to TOUR pressure, and what it means to be an entertainer while still showing real skill. Billy also gets into the urgency of the next couple of weeks, his mindset chasing opportunities like The Players and the Masters, and what he believes the PGA TOUR needs to protect as it evolves, especially when it comes to cuts, access, and creating real opportunity for members.After that, Michael Bamberger joins Gary for a wide-ranging conversation on golf's most relentless competitors, Scottie Scheffler's mindset and focus, and what separates the truly rare personalities at the top.

Are men and women golf swings actually different? Or is there really just one fundamental golf swing?In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb sit down with instructor Nathalie Sheehan to discuss the real differences between male and female golfers, common swing tendencies, and how instructors should approach coaching each.While the fundamentals of the golf swing remain the same, Nathalie explains there are often physical tendencies and skill development differences that show up between male and female players.Some of the key topics covered include:• Why many female golfers struggle with grip strength early on • Common swing tendencies instructors see in men vs women • Why female golfers often over-rotate the backswing • The role of strength, flexibility, and posture in the golf swing • Why creativity in practice can improve scoring • How coaching juniors differs from coaching adult golfers • Mental game differences between male and female playersNathalie also shares her journey from competitive junior golf to becoming one of the top instructors in the game, working with players at Pelican Golf Club in Florida and appearing regularly on the Golf Channel.If you've ever wondered:Should women swing differently than men?Do female golfers need different instruction?Are there mechanical differences between male and female golf swings?This conversation breaks down the science, coaching insights, and real-world experience behind those questions.

On this Wednesday “getaway day” edition of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams sets the table for a loaded stretch of golf and where the PGA TOUR is headed next.Gary opens with thoughts on the grind of pro golf and what's coming at Riviera, then shifts to Tiger Woods' latest comments, especially the small but meaningful note that the Masters isn't off the table. Next, Gabby Herzig from The Athletic joins to break down what she's seeing from Scottie Scheffler as 2026 continues to look like a “maximum ceiling” year. Healthy and nearly impossible to slow down. Gabby also reflects on Collin Morikawa's win at Pebble Beach and what it revealed about his mindset, plus why the mental side of the game is often what decides who gets back over the line.From there, the conversation moves into the bigger TOUR and LIV picture. Gabby shares what she heard from players about Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed returning, why top players still care deeply about beating the best week to week, and how the game is still trying to get to its most competitive, unified version again.Then Gil Hanse joins for a detailed look at one of the biggest design projects in golf. The complete rebuild of The Links at Spanish Bay. Gil explains the aggressive timeline, how the team is reshaping the corridors and green complexes, why expanding greens creates more strategy and more interesting hole locations, and what fans can expect from a routing change designed to maximize the coastline views and that true ground game feel.The episode wraps with Dogs of the Week, updated standings, and the crew's The Genesis Invitational picks heading into Riviera. 5 Clubs airs on Golf Channel and SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio (Channel 92).0:00 Opening Thoughts 4:05 Reaction to Tiger's Press Conference 10:57 Gabby Herzig29:18 Gil Hanse 49:58 Dogs & Picks of the Week FOLLOW 5 Clubs: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/5clubsgolf/X: https://x.com/5ClubsGolf Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/5ClubsGolf/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@5clubsgolf

On this Tuesday edition of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams is joined by Emilia Doran, live from Riviera, to reflect on the dramatic finish at the AT&T Pro-Am at Pebble Beach and preview The Genesis Invitational at one of the PGA TOUR's most iconic venues.Emilia shares her perspective from inside the ropes on what separated the best players at Pebble, including Scottie Scheffler's late Sunday charge and Collin Morikawa's return to the winner's circle. Drawing from her experience walking alongside the game's elite, she explains how decision-making, commitment, and shot variety continue to define performance at the highest level, and how working alongside a caddie can make the difference in pressure moments late in a round.The conversation then shifts to The Genesis Invitational at Riviera, where Emilia breaks down why the course remains one of the TOUR's most respected tests and how softer conditions could impact scoring this week. She also discusses how being around the world's best players has shaped her own approach to competition and course management.Later, USGA President Fred Perpall joins Gary to discuss the continued growth of the game and how new players are entering through non-traditional formats before transitioning to green-grass golf. He also shares insight into the USGA's anchor site strategy for the U.S. Open and how the USA Development initiative is helping create opportunities for the next generation of elite American golfers.Gary closes with this week's Book Club, featuring The Inner Game of Tennis and The War of Art, two reads focused on performance, mindset, and managing pressure.5 Clubs airs on Golf Channel and SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio (Channel 92).0:00 Opening Thoughts 5:42 - Venues on the PGA Tour10:58 Emilia Doran 27:36 Fred Perpall44:23 Book Club

On this Monday edition of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams leads with the story of the week: Anthony Kim winning at LIV Adelaide in one of the most powerful comeback moments golf has seen in decades.Gary puts the win in perspective through the time gap, the personal toll, and what it means for someone to come back from the darkest chapters of life and still find a way to compete, perform, and win again. He shares why this wasn't just a golf result; it was a human story about purpose, resilience, and choosing to keep going. Gary also highlights Anthony Kim's post-win words about fighting through bad days, finding peace of mind, and wanting to use winning as a platform to help other people.Taylor Zarzour then joins to add firsthand context on Anthony Kim, including their past interactions, how close it felt at times to a tragic ending, and why this win connected in a way no money-driven storyline ever could. They also discuss what this victory could mean next, from LIV's momentum to the long-term possibilities for where Anthony Kim's story goes from here.After that, the show touches on Collin Morikawa breaking through to win at Pebble Beach and Scottie Scheffler continuing his historic run of consistency, before looking ahead to Riviera and the loaded stretch of events coming up. 5 Clubs airs on Golf Channel and SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio (Channel 92).0:00 Reaction to the Weekend's Winners3:04 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Recap13:08 Anthony Kim wins at LIV Adelaide23:45 Taylor Zarzour

   What has happened that we seem to have two sets of laws in America today.  From Tucson to Minneapolis and now, to KC... enforcement of the law comes down to one thing for those that commit crimes.  Do you love Trump or hate him?   A woman in KC sets fire to the building ICE wants to use and apparently authorities do not care at all.    Karoline Leavitt has fun trolling President Obama over voter ID saying Dems are panicked while posting a cool video.  Switzerland has had enough of illegal aliens pouring in and will hold a vote to limit the population of their country.    In sports, Jerome Tang blasting his players has made the K-State coach famous national as ESPN has a field day with his pathetic words.  The Daytona 500 is set for Sunday... we love the Great American Race.    Danny Clinkscale has a total meltdown on our Patron's Podcast Thursday about Golf Channel's lead announcer Steve Sands... this is hilarious and you will love it.    And our Final Final is a USA skier that says too much.

Plus, a rapid fire “5 to Go” with Rose featuring favorite restaurants, best shots witnessed, Ryder Cup bus vibes, and the golf destination he's most motivated to finally experience.Later, Keith Stewart from Read the Line joins the show to break down Pebble Beach from an information first lens, including his key stats to watch across the two course setup, why wedge play and short game matter so much here, and how putting conditions can influence the week.

On this Tuesday edition of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams reacts to the PGA TOUR's latest push positioning THE PLAYERS Championship as a Major, including Brandel Chamblee's headline-making stance that THE PLAYERS “stands alone” and is the best Major. Gary breaks down why the “Fifth Major” conversation keeps resurfacing, why Major history is more murky than people realize, and why retroactively awarding Major status would open an impossible can of worms.Brendan Porath of Fried Egg Golf joins from Chicago to talk about Chris Gotterup's rise and what makes his game feel sustainable. Brendan explains why Gotterup's wins have come on demanding stages, why Scottie Scheffler's week to week persistence is so compelling, and how the PGA TOUR's Signature Event pathways like the Next 10 and Swing 5 help shape fields.

It was a historic weekend of professional golf as one of the game's greatest achievements finally came to an end. Andy begins this episode on a somber note as Xander Schauffele's "made cut streak" was snapped on Friday at the Farmers Insurance Open. Brendan joins in, remembering other iconic streaks such as Cal Ripken Jr.'s consecutive games played record and comparing them to Xander's totally-not-made-up mark. Justin Rose did make the cut and ran away with his second win at Torrey Pines, defeating a trio of players by seven shots. The 45-year-old is now ranked third in the OWGR and has played some of the best golf of his career in the last 12 months. Andy and Brendan wonder how much gas he has left in the tank, with Brendan predicting that Rose will compete in majors into his fifties. In other notes from the Farmers, Brooks Koepka finished t56 and had plenty of time on the broadcast on ESPN, Golf Channel, and CBS despite never being competitive. One of the two mules that Brooks brought onto the "ark" this week did make some money, kicking off our yearlong game of Brooks vs. Mules. Johnson Wagner also made his long-awaited CBS debut and did not disappoint, recreating shots while the tournament was still going on! The two also discuss Michael Brennan's DQ thanks to a Data Boy and strong weeks from Si Woo Kim, Joel Dahmen, and Ryo Hisatsune. The DP World Tour event in Bahrain ended in a playoff featuring Patrick Reed and ended in a wild concession that no one had ever seen before. The main event of this podcast is Andy and Brendan's recap of what went on at the LPGA's Tournament of Champions on Sunday. The event was shortened into a 54-hole event due to the course not being an "optimal competitive environment" for "competitive competition" according to some statements from the tour. Andy and Brendan tee off as they're astounded by the celebrity pro-am still being played on the very same course rather than the actual tournament. For those with tinfoil hats, Nelly Korda won for the first time in over 440 days as a result of the shortened event. There's also plenty of Illinois basketball talk at the end of this episode, as well as more invites from colleges across the country who want Andy, Brendan, and PJ to inspire the youth of America. Join us in Chicagoland for an SGS Live Show on Thursday, February 12! We'll be hanging out at SPACE in Evanston, Illinois for a night of Q&A, Champs Tour Minute, and plenty of Bears chatter.
