I don't know what everyone else thinks but I can't stand Chris Berman as a golf announcer. He just doesn't seem to fit. He should stay with baseball and his "back back back gone" lines.

does he do his "trademark" thingy and on a long put, rolling right towards the hole yells out "... IT COULD... GO... ALL... THE... WAY !!!! " ?
He's more annoying than tight underwear in a disco club

Yeah I mean of all the guys they have on staff why in the world did they pick him for the commentary. Best part of the day was at 2oclock when the new announcers started.

I guess he has a raspy harsh voice. He is ths one always making random comments and quoting people who have nothing to do w/ golf.

Haven't listened to the podcast yet, but man, is Berman bad. He's a 36 handicap announcer. The guy has no feeling for the drama of the game. He trivializes the event by making silly puns, over and over and over again. If I have to hear about the "National Parks" bunker again, I'm switching to XM radio.

Yeah, I can't stand that guy. What a relief it is when Johnny Miller comes on!

Announcer Dream Team:
Faldo, Miller, and Azinger in the booth
Feherty on the course

Andy North sucks as an on course announcer and Dottie Pepper isn't much better.

Is it just me or are the production values of the ESPN broadcast less than what we've come to expect?

What does that mean? Can I get a shout out on the Podcast for creating the topic? (I just listened to the Podcast good stuff. Cool to know I was part of the cast in some sort of way.

) We can all sleep easy now that NBC has taken over the coverage...Berman is dead to us.

The announcers on XM are pretty fair. They don't make a lot of off-hand comments like the television announcers. They just report whatever is happening. I listen to my XM a lot during history class... :)

I don't have a problem with how Berman's voice sounds, but most of his commentary prove he doesn't have a clue about golf. As I pointed out on the podcast, he must have said "WOW!" 3 or for times for the most mediocre shots. Some guy chips the ball to 12 feet and he says, "Wow!" Uhhhh... riiiiight.

As a former History Major in undergrad and graduate school, i must protest this last comment. History is the most important class you will take in school. Its much better to listen to xm during math or French. Afterall, the only math you really need is to add 18 single didget (hopefully) numbers together. As for French, all you need to no is "On Capituler!!"

Berman belongs in team sports where he can make assinine cracks to couch potatos with their hats on backwards. Jeff "Seattle" Sluman , Gary "Rum and" Koch, Kenneth "Staten Island" Freeie ...GIVE ME A FREAKIN' BREAK!!!

And then to make matters worse we have to listen to Bob Costas try to turn every thing into an Olympic Games heartwarming perspective because it's in his network contract.

Golf should be golf. It is a sport for purists who love the game more than the beer commercials or song girls. I can't wait until the golf channel can compete and take the big tournaments away from these dolts.

Bury me with a golf glove in my pocket - just in case!

I wish we didn't have to hear Johnny Miller talking about how good he was instead of talking about the golf being played. 1 more comment about how he was better than Nicholas or anyone last time they played Winged Foot and I was gonna find him on the course and kill him. I believe he should be thrown out of the booth.
