"Going Off The Grid" is a weekly survey of sports personalities offering their thoughts on a handful of pressing (and trivial) issues in sports and pop culture. This week, with the PGA Tour season getting back under way in Hawaii, members of the golf media chime in on what to expect in '17.
- Fox Sports' Shane Bacon
– Cares less about pop culture by the minute. "This is what getting old feels like."
- CBS Sports' Dottie Pepper
– Has zero interest in pop culture.
- Golf Channel's Will Gray
– Still listens to music from his high school days while watching whatever HGTV show his wife finds.
