I think Amanda Balionis is one of the best things to happen to golf media coverage in a long time. Knows her stuff and is creative. Gives the pro the mic and sits back. Cool stuff. What do u think?

definitely easy on the eyes.   She's better than some of the other women that have interviewed golfers.

Anytime announcers talk less rather than more, it’s a good thing.   ;-)

Truth. Agreed she does a good job of it. She was handicapped at first by them trying to make her use stupid, pointless technology, but that went away (thankfully).

Yes, she seems genuine. Unpretentious. There is nothing else not to like.

Yes, she is all that.

But her hand gestures (stretching fingers, all apart) like she's having an episode of some kind, is unnerving, to me at least. I have to make a real conscious effort to not get distracted by them...

I like her a lot.  Decent interviews, let's the pros talk.  Avoids the stock/goofy questions.
