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.

    • Day 4 (13 Mar 25) - Easy session today, some work with the 6&7 irons - full swings into the net, followed but bump and runs.  Toss in some pitch work with the Pw with the grandson. 
    • Day 34: 3/13/25 Putting through 50 mm gates. Almost a perfect session.
    • Hands go out and roll too much, which is why the backswing has trouble staying short. The short swing is too long. Then, you know what to do from there. Throw it.
    • Day 2 March 13th, 2025 Hit a small bucket checking stuff on video. Mostly back to controlling swing length and right elbow. 
    • Video 1 of 2025 Lower body is better. Right knee kicks out less. Left knee straightens better. I don’t have that knee bounce post impact. Backswing and downswing with the arms, needs a bit of work. Nice OTT move there. Video 2 of 2025 - hey I can keep it short.  back to trying to keep the swing shorter and control the right elbow. Lots of half backswing feel and very straight arms. Also trying to start the downswing sooner so the swing doesn’t go on forever with the turn. Got to limit it to 90 degrees shoulder and 45 degrees hips.
