http://www.golf.com/tour-and-news/david-feherty-out-cbs-sports-golf-commentator?xid=golf_social [QUOTE]David Feherty called his last tournament for CBS Sports this past weekend at the Barclays. According to a report from John Ourand of Sports Business Daily, CBS Sports has decided not to renew Feherty’s contract, ending what has been a 19-year relationship. SBD’s sources said the sides could not agree on Feherty’s role.[/QUOTE]

I wonder if CBS was pushing for less Feherty or Feherty was pushing for more Feherty.

Ok I will go against the grain on this one. Personally I would like more McCord than Feherty if I had to pick between those two. Bikini Waxed greens should be a classic.

Sad to here. Is a genuinely entertaining broadcaster.

Could be a good thing, though. He could end up on the Golf Channel, help invigorate NBC.

Sad to here.

I think it's sad all the way to over there, too. (Apparently Matt is already rubbing off on his team mates. Try and not let his "distance wedge" issues rub off on you too) :P

He is sort of a crazy guy, who knows what he was asking for. Maybe Fox or NBC will want to pick him up now. Either way it is loss for CBS and Feherty. Let's see how it turns out for him.

Ever since I became a forum leader my spelling has gone off a cliff! Or, perhaps, I had one too many beers tonight. :-P

I'd say it was probably Feherty pushing for a more prominent role or more money. Something more fitting to what he does on his TGC show, which I think was been pretty popular.

Yeah, I can see Fox overspending to up their presence in golf and can see that being Feherty's strategy.

I like Feherty, sad to hear that CBS let him go.  Hopefully he'll get picked up elsewhere.  If nothing else, I enjoy listening to his accent - he could read the dictionary and make it sound entertaining. :-)

    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
    • Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
