I just wanna get everyone's opinion on your favorite, or worse, golf announcers.

My favorite is by far David Feherty, whether he's talking about golf or not, he always makes me laugh and is entertaining. And I've been watching a little Live from the US Open, and I must say Notah Begay should consider a career in announcing or commentating, his insight from being a former tour player is outstanding in my opinion. Just wanna see what everyone else thinks on the topic

I'm racking my brain for even one guy that makes me think, "Oh good, _________ is doing the broadcast today!"

I think Bobby Clampett and Ben Crenshaw were good, but since I haven't heard them in so long, they may not have been as good as I remember.

I like that these guys aren't just talking heads spewing out the obvious, especially Feherty.

I like Miller and thought Azinger was good when he was doing it. Ian Baker-Finch is painfully boring.

I agree. There isn't anyone I really dislike. I would say my favorite is Johnny Miller. A good example of this was during the final round of The Players this year he commented early in the round about players taking their putters out fom off the green. He said that putting through the closely mown areas would result in inconsistant shots and it's fine for the mid-handicapper but the tour pro should be chipping. I'll be damned if that didn't happen all day. The few times I saw a player chip even though it was a tough shot the results were better overall. I would have never picked up on that if Miller didn't make the observation.

Definitely not these guys broadcasting at usopen.com. Their mouths are running but no substance.

Feherty. McCord is decent, but he seems to talk weird. He will get in stretches where he goes: "Okay, we got the 6 iron and the pin is back and we're going to flight it down low and just put it in close......Well, that's not what we were trying to do...." Just sort of babbling.

I like Johnny Miller - tells it like it is, and Gary McCord - tells it like it should be.

Feherty is too much of a suck-up, and probably prays he won't ever be paired with McCord too often. Oh, the horror!

Berman is okay, but he needs to learn breath control. He talks forever without breathing, and then his voice tails off as he strains. I like Scott Van Pelt, but his catchphrase, "useful", just seems so, weird. Golf guys don't have catchphrases, he should leave it for SportsCenter.

I really like the guy Berman was with today, Roger Maltbie. His is like Johnny Miller minus the crazy. Great insight, knows the greens, and knows when not to talk. Mark Rolfing is good too, as are Bob Koch and some other CBS guy, I forget his name. Bigger guy, older, sort of bald, he isn't the main guy in the telecast, more like in Koch's position.

No doubt, we'll be hearing plenty of the Johnny and Roger show this weekend:

Johnny: "Roger, this put should break about 2 inches left, shouldn't it?" Roger: "I'd say about two inches. That's right, Johnny" Johnny: "Roger, this should be an easy wedge shot, right?" Roger: "I think so, Johnny." Johnny: "Roger, he hit that a groove low, didn't he" Roger: "About a groove low, that's right, Johnny." Can't wait.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By rod7515 · Posted

      Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start? Thanks Rod

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By rod7515 · Posted

      This was a great read from start to finish. Ive been watching the LAB putters for 3 or 4 years now. Ive never been a good putter and Ive worked at putting but i just dont seem to get better at it. I play at least 3 times a week with a 11.6 Hdcp and i have owned probably 20+ putters over my last 10 years. Ive even tried the broomstick putters which at first I thought helped but as time went on i missed just as many putts. For me it comes down to nerves which i struggle to control when putting. I always feel like i have someone leaning over me watching my every move when i putt. I had a friend I play with this fall go get fitted for a LAB and he came back all excited, he bought one and he was already a player that probably averages 32 putts a round. So i think I would say hes a good putter. I used his putter a few times and the feeling i get compared to my putter which right now is a Ping Vault 2.0 Piper and just before that an Evnroll ER5v and before that Spyder Ghost........anyway the feeling I notice was that i can take the putter back without it twisting some. At least thats the feeling i get. I dont know if i would be a better putter with a LAB putter but after this year i will know as I went and was fitted and have one on the way. I can only hope it makes a differnce. If not ive got plenty of putters to fall back on!  Rod
