TV Golf Commentators

[CasperGolf]

The standard of commentary is really appalling, generally. There’s no one that stands out. They all sound the same to me and expel vapid garbage.

There’s some good ones in my opinion. I like Faldo, miss Johnny Miller.  Dottie Pepper needs to retire. Bones on the course is good.  Zinger is still learning.  Some of the Golf Channel guys are as dry as toast! Tom Abbott, yikes!  Judy Rankin?  Please retire!

Agree its pretty average at best, no clear dominating-take charge type broadcasters today. Appears everyone is overly conservative with their commentaries. Not saying I want all Brandel Chamblee's (at least hes not afraid to stir the pot so to speak) but it would be nice to see more authoritative voices in the booth.  No clear leading voice or network dominating in coverage commentaries IMO.

I just turn down the sound and watch the golf.

I rather enjoy some cheeky Faldo, but aside from him I don't see any standouts.

Hearing McCord’s commentary on Bryson’s Bo Derek hole would’ve been cringe worthy. 
 

This is for the ‘older’ members. They’ll get it.

It would be funny!

She certainly was a 10. When I told my wife Bryson made a 10 on a par five she could not believe someone of that caliber could make a 10. I found it a little hard to believe. Makes me feel better about some of my bad holes over the years.

When I was about 25, and still learning the game, I declared on the 9th tee to my two buddies that I was GOING TO TURN IT AROUND RIGHT NOW.

I then made back to back 11's.

Golf commentary is dead. CBS ... you may as well listen to paint dry.

Part of the problem now is that, since the commentators are not on site they're watching a delayed stream. At least it seems that they're farther behind the action timewise than I am. I often hear them oohing and ahhing well after the putt has just missed the hole instead of just as the putt rolls by.
