Nice to see this gem of a course on TV.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Thanks for the heads up. One of my favorite tracks. My favorite there for sure.

I would have watched more (I have tonight's final recording as well), but daaaamn that was some slow play. And the one group wasn't conceding 10-inch putts, because - and I just heard this in the background as I was losing interest - the announcer said "they don't seem to know they can concede putts in match play"?

Huh?

Pick up the pace, ladies.

I watched it yesterday only b/c I recently played the course.  I am glad I watched it as I enjoyed it a lot.   The final match (quarter final) went extra time and to my surprise, FS1 stayed with the broadcast.   Good job, FS1.   Pace was slow but not any slower than what I see on LPGA.

One thing I noticed was that no one seems to be using the local caddy.   I think that would have been a good advantage.  Pacific Dunes greens are huge with lots of contours.

For those who have watched the men's four ball and women's four-ball, how has Fox with the coverage? How was the announcing and commentating? Just curious with the Open closing in.

Fox is awful. Frank Chirkinian would have had somebody shot for some of their lesser transgressions. At least it was fun to see Pacific Dunes.

The GolfChannel vs FS1 broadcasting?   They are equally bad.   I tuned them out and provide my own commentary (to my poor wife) ;-) .

Fox was horrible. They need to get SOOOO much better by the time the U.S. Open comes around. Fortunately it wasn't the full crew, but still…

The women played SOOOO slowly, too. Horrible.

Hopefully they pick it up.  I gotta say though, I'll miss Miller.
