Golf's GREAT Gadget in Georgia

Here in the GREAT state of Georgia we have the opportunity to host 3 of Golf's premiere events; The Masters in Augusta in April, The PGA Championship in Johns Creek this week, and The PGA Tour Championship at East Lake in September.

For many of us golf fans, that means walking and lots of it - which also means GREAT exercise. This week we say hello to the pedometer, courtesy of David Donatucci, who is the director of fitness, PGA of America.

The pedometer is a small device worn on our body. It counts and measures the numbers of steps we take, giving us an idea of how much exercise spectators will gain by walking the grounds of the Atlanta Athletic Club.

The PGA of America supports the government's campaign to combat childhood obesity. Let's Move on Course hopes to inspire youth, and adults to view golf as a healthy, positive activity for staying fit. While we watch some GREAT Golf, we'll have attached to our hips a GREAT gadget that helps add years to our lives.

I'm Gil Tyree Getting Ready for the Start of H.S Football

We are about 3 weeks away from the High School Football season here in the GREAT state of Georgia. I am so excited about the opportunity to do play by play coverage on Georgia Public Broadcasting. I am so looking forward to working again with the team consisting my colleagues Mark Harmon, Jon Nelson, & Niki Noto. This year we welcome the legendary Brookwood coach Dave Hunter to our team. 

We also will have the services of our phenomenal New Media crew to bring you the behind the scenes stuff of High School Sports here in the Peach State.

There is no greater honor for me to be able to broadcast football games in one of this country's best states when it comes to producing prep talent at all levels. Not only that but able to broadcast games in the state I dearly love where both of my grandparents were born is one of the GREATEST career opportunities one can experience.

The GPB Sports Team is getting ready for Football Fridays and YOU should too.

Jon, Mark, Niki, and Moi will be posting behind the scenes videos, & pictures through out the season of the BEST Place for High School Sports, GPB.org, BAR NONE!
