Is it just me or do the Golf Channel announcers seem to hack on Bubba Watson and put him down? Am I the only one that notices this? It could be that I don't care for them too much. Lol.

They are never too thrilled with somebody that plays or swings differently than what they consider the proper way to play or swing.

Of course if most people tried to get in the postion Bubba gets in at the top they would need to schedule a surgery or two.

BTW...RTR Ha ha ha ha! (Just joking about the AU).

johnny miller ragged on Fowler he still does. Jealousy. I believe...I think he knows Fowler is making mucho denaro on endorsements and has a lot of fans...can't figure him out Anyone else notice that? That was on regular channel not the golf channel...I am willing to wager he has got some complaints about some of his comments made on many players

Miller has a problem with everyone.  Did you know he once played the most perfect round of golf ever?  He shot a 63 at Oakmont.

Miller isn't really the topic here.

I think the announcers lose site of the objective, telling us what is going on.  They believe they need to be critics and not announcers. It is one thing if the announcer is a multiple major winner.  But the GC guys were just average players, so it is tough to hear it from them.

He is from New Zealand and has an accent.  Who hasn't noticed that?

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
