Anyone else tired of Charlie Rymer's (Golf Channel) continuous reminders of when he was on tour?

According to Wikipedia:

He earned his PGA Tour card for 1995 through qualifying school . He recorded his career best finish on the PGA Tour in 1995 at the Shell Houston Open , third place, and his career best money list finish at 103rd. In 1996, he finished 145th on the money list, good enough for partial status on Tour the following year. He split time between the PGA Tour and the Nationwide Tour in 1997. He played on the Nationwide Tour in 1998, his last year on Tour.

Hey, Faldo and Miller were pretty darn good.

He brought it up at least twice today. With his lack of success, he shouldn't bring it up at all.

Big difference. Chamblee won on the tour and for six years was among the top 100 money winners.

Secondly, he doesn't say "when I was on the tour" in every other breath.

Also, he most often offers good perspectives, while Rymer is mostly BS and doesn't know when to shut up.

Isn't Brandy from Texas? Sounds like a little bias could be present. Charlie is the nice guy and can cry on demand. I don't see anyone else crying. So he says "when I was on tour", at least he doesn't act like he has all the answers.

"My ball is on top of a rock in the hazard, do I get some sort of relief?"

Just what I want in a golf commentator. Someone who can cry on demand.

And Texas is a big place. UT is a long way from my school. I usually root against them.

Rymer's OK. In fact, I find the 3 main Golf Channel guys (Rymer, Chamblee, Nobilo) to all be pretty good, for different reasons. They are usually allowed to give their opinions, and they don't always agree. Kind of like sitting at the bar with guys who will rarely all agree on the same thing. And, they all played on tour, which gives them a lot credibility, whether they were megastars or journeymen.  They certainly know more about the tour experience than we do.

I agree. I like Nobilo the best. Direct and doesn't tend to exaggerate things.

They at least made it to the show.. More then I can say for myself.. I give them credit for any limited time they played.. I would of loved to finish 3rd at least ONCE on the PGA..  I never got a sense of arrogance from them, in fact I get the sense of "I was a hack" from Charlie.. lol

This guy has got to have some video of Arnold Palmer having sex with Greg Norman which he is using to blackmail the Golf Channel.    There is no other explanation for why he is on national TV.  He was no kind of player, never says anything remotely insightful, is not particularly good looking, and sounds just as stupid as he is.  No redeeming value at all.  There are 1,000 guys who have had tour cards briefly who would be far better.  And a bunch who never played on tour as well.

Other than that I like him just fine.  LOL

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I hear ya on CR's constant tour comments. Not sure why he feels like he needs to make the reference. Other than that, the team is pretty decent aside from all the Tiger speculation. I guess as long a Tiger drives ratings, though, we're going to have to listen to it.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
