Voted NBC by default. It is difficult for me to listen to Nantz, he's just too much for me. I like Feherty, but not enough to offset Nantz.

I like Lauren Thompson fr the highlights on Golf Channel lol jk... But seriously Lauren Thompson!

CBS/NBC same caca, same smell, But Lauren Thompson works for NBC so.... Lauren Thompson!

I don't really have any issues watching either. I do prefer CBS though because of Faldo and Feherty. Johnny Miller just irritates me with his constant criticisms, i.e. "I just don't understand what he's thinking hitting that shot" or "he should have -insert hypothetical shot that would magically be 10x better-." And when the Swing Vision comes on, I usually mute Kostis.

Johnny Miller or Nick Faldo? This may be the real question...hate to be on the fence...but I really enjoy both...the more coverage the better...Arnie is a genius...Golf Channel has really taken off...what was it 80 million investment 1995?

I voted NBC but don't have a strong opinion.  I do think that Johnny Miller is a better commentator than Nick Faldo.  But that just an opinion and so worth what you paid for it.

In my opinion its not even close. Johnny Miller is the best ever. He speaks his mind which makes for great entertainment. His insights from the broad scope of the game to the mechanics of the golf swing are the best on TV. We have fun watching and listening to him, because he's having fun broadcasting the game.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
