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.

      Day 355: more mirror work. Worked on some feels to get shaft lean without such extreme forward body movement.

      Yes, agree that there should be more TV coverage. I think the fact that they don't have the swing speed of their male counterparts makes it (slightly) more relatable, in that the rough is more of a penalty and the lack of distance means they are often pulling longer irons or lumber to get home on par fives. I think this season has been a bit tough on the LPGA to build much of a narrative with no one winning more than one tournament. And you could argue that they didn't really make hay with Nelly's run of wins, which should have been crowding out Caitlin Clark for female sports story of last year. One piece that they need to fix is the slow play - I would argue there is less player power compare to PGAT, so I don't understand why they aren't hitting the repeat offenders with stroke penalties. They have taken some strides in that respect this season, so let's hope Kessler continues the momentum.

      Day 70 (10 Jul 25) - Weekly 9 hole round - changed up the clubs as I used the MaCGregor blades and Penna persimmons.  These clubs require focused contact - so it was a day of working on tempo and making consistent contact.  Overall it was a good session of working on these areas.
