"Going Off The Grid" is a weekly survey of sports execs and personalities offering their thoughts on a handful of pressing (and trivial) issues in sports and pop culture. This week, with the PGA Tour season back in full swing, four golf media members opine on TIM FINCHEM's tenure, their favorite golf tradition and more.

• Golf Digest's Ashley Mayo
  – Used to think Ariana Grande was a Starbucks order.
• ESPN's Jason Sobel
  – Cranks Grateful Dead tunes in the car and watches "Seinfeld" reruns at home.
• USA Today's Steve DiMeglio 
  – Devours the Food Network. Long live "The Daily Show." 
• Golf Channel's Damon Hack 
  – Occasionally watches "Housewives" with his wife.

Going Off The Grid
	Tim Finchem's tenure in 2-3 words	"Caddyshack" or "Tin Cup"	Wraparound schedule good or bad?	Favorite golf tradition	West Coast or Florida Swing
Mayo	Strong and savvy	Caddyshack, Caddyshack, Caddyshack	Most golfers will agree the real season starts in Hawaii	Hearing "Welcome to Augusta" when I walk through the gates	Cliffs and coastline views on the West Coast are tremendous
Sobel	Make it rain	Caddyshack. I'm a tremendous slouch	Bad, bad, bad. Quantity doesn't equal quality	He who makes the ace must buy the drinks	West. More Tupac than Biggie
DiMeglio	Lucrative worldwide expansion	Two words: Bill Murray	The good outweighs the bad	Egg salad sandwiches and chocolate milk at Augusta	Either one. Pebble is tough to beat
Hack	Very solid stewardship	Caddyshack	I miss the Kapalua kickoff	The Claret Jug	West is the best
