Are you listening to these TNT announcers? They must sit there with a list of golf cliches and just tick them off one by one as they use them, then they start all over again. Tiger just "willed" another putt into the hole. They are so busy looking at this list, that they don't actually "see" the action they are describing. Things are going on on the screen that they totally ignore. We still don't know what happened when Tiger's ball his a spectator...the medics were working on the person as Tiger hit his next shot.

And what is with Tiger's goofy Mickey Mouse cartoon mittens? lol.

And did you catch the interview with Boo? Jeez. He never watched a British Open, and pretty much follows no golf at all. He asked Paul Laurie how he qualified for the Open. Yikes! Does anyone know what got this talented bumpkin interested in golf?

I don't know about that. I've had some minor experience with tv sports broadcasts, and I know that what these guys produce is pretty good.

Did you see McCord's CBS behind-the-scenes hour last week? That was fantastic. A real outside the box type deal, and much better than ABC's lame attempt last year. I do like ABC's coverage of the British Open, esp Tirico, Zinger and Faldo. But, I REALLY WISH someone would tell Faldo to stop breathing heavily into the mike. He did that the entire broadcast today! I first thought it was the wind or something. That's the producer's responsibility to correct, and he didn't.
