states that RDS HD is picking up the coverage at this weeks Buick tourney in HD. (and more tournies through "PGA TOUR Productions")

So those with RDSHD (not me, Im with Rogers) can get HD golf? Yet its not on any english channels? (theres TGC, but no HD equivalent) How does that work?

You're right Gman, this makes no sense at all

RDS is part of the Bell group, but there's no coverage on TSN?? WTF?

It's bad enough that we can't get Habs games in RDS HD (on Rogers). Now we can't get HD golf either?

After checking rds's site, I found its just weekend coverage, which we get on the equivlanet american channel covering it (ie this weekend its CBSHD).

I understood the press announcement as RDS picking up weekday coverage, but alas, that is not true. So RDSHD isnt getting anything but the weekend coverage.

Still wish we could get weekday coverage in HD.
