  1. 1. Thoughts on Johnny Miller (as an announcer)

    • Johnny's one of the best announcers in the game
      43
    • Ehh... he's OK
      37
    • I hope Johnny and his nasally voice go away... forever

Eh, he'll be back next week at Sawgrass. At least CBS' A-Team has been showing up for their telecasts in the meantime; you don't know bad until you hear Bill Macatee, Billy Ray Brown, and Bobby Clampett covering the John Deere Classic by themselves.

Just Curious - does anyone else think he sounds like an arrogant jack a$$ when he commentates ? He just always seems to snort about what he would have done and how they should have done this or that..dunno maybe its just me - maybe he earned that right...either way its annoying to listen to I think
anyone else agree or disagree??

All guys in his position will come off sounding like a douche - but he's paid to give his opinions and make observations, and I take more from what he says than someone like a Curtis Strange.

I find all golf announcers annoying. Except for David Feherty, of course.

I agree. He's like the Joe Morgan of golf. All Morgan ever talks about on Sunday Night Baseball is what he did when he was playing or how the players today do things differently than he did.

David Feherty is a genius.

Johnny Miller is giving us what he has to offer. His own experience as a perspective.

I like Faldo alot though. He had me laughing when he was showing O'Hair and Watson on the telestator saying 'Sean, this is Bubba. You guys won't ever meet on the FAIRWAY - but this is him WAAAAYYYY down there about 40 yards in front of you.'

Is it a requirement however to have one or two nimrods in the booth with a foreign accent? Does it have to be some drawly Engish-er or Austrailian boob I can't understand?

I don't get that ... like it's not real golf analysis unless some one in the booth can speak the Queen's English. Like the weather channel where we won't believe it's an actual hurricane unless the idiot is standing out there in it!!!

Yeah I have to say I don't mind Johnny either.

I prefer him to some of the other golf announcers that never played... it's nice to have guys offer their perspective that have been there and played just like the pros. Plus, the other announcers kinda balance each other out... one play-by-play guy and one color guy, just like in football, baseball, basketball.

I like Johnny Miller a lot as an announcer...never understood that hate for him. He kind of has a 'loud mouth' but it's straight talk and I like that.

I figured it out. Johnny is the master of 'retrospective swing analysis.' One shot this weekend, a guy pushed his shot out to the right. Skip to the "Swing Vision" thing or whatever, and Johnny watching the swing, and he says, "ok, let's see if the clubface is open at impact....YEP...there it is...he got too much shaft angle and that leaves the club open." WHAT?!!? Let's see, the ball went right off the tee and you're WONDERING IF the club was open? It'd be a miracle of physics otherwise.

Same thing on one putt Barnes had where he yipped a short putt. Miller starts in, "let's look at that short backswing, and yep, when you do that, it makes you pull the putter up off the ground going forward and you'll push it..." All he does is, watch what happened, and just rationalize what motions will make someone do those things, and pass it off as 'swing analysis.'

And don't get me started on "what do you see, ROGER? How's the lie, DOTTIE? He looks nervous, MARK ROLFING..."

And can someone tell me what the hell they're talking about when they say, "he looks really calm, he's handling this really well, I don't see any signs of nerves..."?? Has anyone ever seen one of the guys have a panic attack and break out in sweats?? Of course, the second a guy drops a shot, they'll say, "you know, you can just see it in his eyes, he's not relaxed, he seems very unsettled...."

Just once, I'd love to show Johnny a reel of twenty swings - just swings - and make him tell me what kind of shot it turned out to be.

Nothing in the swing is done at the expense of balance.

But the hilarious thing is he knows 10X more about the golf swing that you ever will considering he was a great player in his day and has been a commentator for a while. He may not be good at explaining it on T.V. but to act like he doesn't know anything about the swing seems kind of foolish dude.

With all do respect to you sonic, I bet you he would get a lot of those swings right. I actually like him, he says a lot of stuff BEFORE it happens. For instance today Barnes was in the fescue, and Johnny started saying how he should be aiming a lot more right so will be ok when it grabs the club, and sure enough Barnes hooked it right back into the same crap.

I want to know where you took physics at? No more government grants for them. You can even have a closed club face and still hit right if your alignment is off. Johnny is great for he game. It's very difficult to say the right things all the time. One of the best parts of the open...... is when he served America's weatherman Al Roker on Friday. Al said the day would be a washout. Then Johnny took him on and started talking about the radar and how the storms would dissipate over long island. He sent Roker home for the weekend with the rest of the boys who didn't make the cut.

Johnny has some faults, but overall, he is better than most. He is definitely better than Nickie Faldo.

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
