The Golf Channel is on a roll with its original programming lately. "Fore Inventors Only" has proved a very interesting and entertaining show so far, after two episodes (and who doesn't like watching Stina Sternberg?).

Today, TGC announced a new series will debut next week. The series is called "My World" and each of its 14 episodes will offer "a peek into the off-course lives" of golfes from the PGA Tour and LPGA Tour.

The Golf Channel says:

Each episode of My World will spend a day with a PGA TOUR or LPGA Tour player, exploring their towns, their lives and their passions away from golf. Players share their favorite activities enjoyed with friends and family, but many also take the opportunity to create their own adventures, trying something for the very first time.

Episodes will air Wednesdays at 10:30 p.m. ET. Many "My World" episodes are still in production, but the five announced so far are:

July 25 - Christina Kim
Aug. 1 - Will MacKenzie
Aug. 15 - Davis Love III
Aug. 22 - Tim Herron
Aug. 29 - Cristie Kerr

In the debut episode, the effervescent Kim tries go-kart racing and paintball. Christina Kim could make cleaning her bathroom seem interesting.

I'll guess that MacKenzie is either kayaking or surfing ... or both. The photos included in this post show Paula Creamer (no airdate announced yet for her episode) swimming with Natasha the dolphin at Discovery Cove in Orlando, Fla.

"Unfortunately, because we only see the pros at their work - serious and focused on the golf course - we sometimes draw inaccurate conclusions about their personalities and demeanor," said Jay Kossoff, executive producer and managing director of GOLF CHANNEL Original Productions. "With My World, we're trying erase some of these misperceptions and show the real person behind the visor."
