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.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

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.

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.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Scooted over to the range today in the rain to see how it goes when I try to hit one. The rehearsals I think look reasonable, but then get worse when I try to hit the ball. I think it’s better than it was but still a ways to go. Including the rehearsals in these two videos. One dtl and one fo. I still don’t understand what I need to do on the way down to stop that fugly shoving outside of the hands. Seems unlikely that will just disappear when I get the backswing position right. I have a feeling that lack of understanding of the next step might be holding me back some.

      Of course, injuries suck, but that's no excuse. jack was competitive from 1962-1984 or so. 1979 wasn't very good sure (first winless season) but every other season during that timeline he was in the top 16 in the money list. That is a crazy long time. And notice I didn't even include 1986 because he was "only" 34th in the money list that year and 43rd the year prior.  Like you said yourself Tiger was injured what felt like more often than not post 2009. When he was healthy enough to play a full season he did really well (2012-2013, and 2018-2019).  I like Tiger too but you are seriously downplaying what Nicklaus did. Nicklaus was not normal, he is a crazy outlier just like Tiger.  The funny thing is Jack played a reduced schedule compared to his peers and yet he still played way more than Tiger up to his final win. I got him at 477 excluding amateur starts up to 1986 while Tiger is 364 if we exclude his am starts, 345 up to his last win at the Zozo. Just pointing that out because you said he only played a handful of events in those later years.
