Broadcast aside, why can't we make this website work? Its a giant pain in the browser. I understand the DGTV budget and selecting certain events to broadcast and that is their deal but the PDGA website should work 90% of the time not 10% of the time.

I mean how many people were really checking the website for the Masters scores at the same time 20-25K. I don't care if 50K are checking it there should be more fluidity. If the database that houses the data for these events is slow and out of date then replace it or create a temp data database and a permanent data database. This entire debacle is a ridiculous problem to have. If volunteers can not get it done in a reasonable amount of time then pay someone already. At least if we are paying we can make proper demands.

Man what would major sites like ESPN do if they could only stream video to 20K users? We are not even streaming video its simple static pages updated from a database. Where is the cache to handle the load. Arrggg!
