I thought he was pretty good. You could tell he was a bit of a rookie though, he said a lot of generic things like "he really struck that well" when we already see that the ball is 5 feet from the flag. And during putts he was talking, stuff like "come on, come on... yes!" I'm just nit-picking though, I thought he was great! Though Id like to see him actually out there playing more.

he did commentating before when he was recovering from an injury or something. Hes not really a rookie. Hes great. Id love for him to do it more. We need to get rid of Jim Nance and Mike Tirico as well as Chris Berman. Leave golf to the golf crowd.

I'm probably alone here, but he didn't really seem to know what the hell he was talking about - maybe the 1/2 hour I heard was an anomoly.

I'd like to see Azinger take Roger Maltbie's place on NBC, It would be fun to listen to someone who dares to disagree with Miller. I'd put Rocco on CBS in place of Baker-Finch--they have had him on tv for years and I still can't figure out why... Another name I think might be good for TV is Colin Montgomerie, I'd rather listen to him than Curtis Strange.

Rocco is good for color commentary...similar to a McCord type...not the main guy calling the last putt for the US Open, but the guy who gives you the light perspective.

Montgomerie did a great job while commentating this weekend. I don't care for the guy in some ways but think he would make a great TV guy.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By Carl3 · Posted

      Reviving this old thread as it seems most relevant to my question on "what is OB". I was playing a casual round by myself yesterday early in the AM. I pull my tee shot that lands near a road and then rolls across the road to the far side. I tee another up and land near the fairway. I was going to forget about the first tee shot, buy a man taking an early morning stroll points out where my ball ended up. I take a look and it is a great lie. I put it to 15 feet with my 54*, just miss my birdie putt and have a tap-in for par. Or do I? Here is the plan view of the hole: There are no white stakes anywhere, so I didn't think anything of it at the time. Here is a street view: Now I picked up my 2019 version of the Rules of Golf and found this  2.1 Course Boundaries and Out of Bounds: Golf is played on a course whose boundaries are set by the Committee. Areas not on the course are out of bounds. The second sentence leads me to believe that the ball was out of bounds as it was not on the course. It is unusual for me to be there, but lots of people wind up over there. I have a two-day tournament coming up here, so I want to be prepared. I suppose I could inquire in the clubhouse about the composition of the "committee" and then ask them, but short of that what does this community think?

      This is a fun leaderboard. I don't feel particularly vested in anyone specifically albeit we all know one man is looking like he will most probably put this championship to sleep by the time the day is over today. On a different note, I've changed my tune on BDC in the last year or so. I found myself applauding and genuinely happy for him for making the cut yesterday. Iffff a LIV guy wins this year I would rather it be him. Unlikely Scottie who seems to have supreme control of all his levers, he lives a bit more on the edge and yet has the perseverance and might I say, infectious positivity of a small time hustler. Dude just keeps hammering away. Love it.
