Golf commentary software

[Shorty]

PLEASE!!!!!!!!

Can someone design some software so that when I'm watching the golf, it mutes te sound every time Nick Faldo says "release...."

He must have said it 70 times on the first day of the WGC matchplay.

It's driving me nuts.

At least I don't have to watch any more of Dustin Johnson's swagger, with his "packed lunch" so proudly on display underneath his hipsters.

I agree, I find Faldo just annoying in general.  A great golfer, but not a good play by play guy IMHO.

I kind of liked Faldo early on in his broadcasting career when he was still trying to fit in - he didn't seem to talk as much and tried to make comments that added to the discussion.     But as he has gotten comfortable in the role it sort of seems his ego has caught up and he acts like he's the star of the broadcast, not the golfers - he almost seems to talk just to hear himself, and feels that any moment of silence demands that he come up with some witty or pithy remark.

I think he has gotten a little better since the beginning of the season but still not good.  Early in the season they had him analyzing all the slo mo swing vision things and it was terrible.  then they were showing slo mo of things that werent even golf swings.

I wish they would have Frank Nobilo doing more play by play stuff.  I think he is the best guy that they have at the golf channel right now.  he is more intelegent and has better things to say than any of the others.

"...and watch the club head reeeeeleeeease......" That's pretty funny! Now I'm going notice this much more now because of this thread. Oh well, I still like the guy. They do talk too much and I like the style European Tour announcers have but I don't mind Faldo's commentary. It does surprise me considering what type of player he was that he would take to commentating the way he has.

They just need Feherty to talk non stop from the get go. The golf witty remarks hour.

There have been numerous tournaments that i watched on mute and just had some tunes playing instead, it makes for a very relaxing broadcast and is far less annoying on most occasions.
