Chris Berman is the worst golf announcer of all time by a factor of 1000. Plus, he claimed to be a 13 handicap one year while playing in the Pebble Beach Pro Am. He played more like a 36.

Yes indeed.  I CANNOT believe that he said Tora! Tora! Tora! when one of the Japanese players made a putt this week.  How in the freaking world is he not getting blasted for that? Using a Pearl Harbor bombing reference when describing a Japanese player's putt?  Did anyone else in the world catch that comment?

Back to you Roger "Single"  Maaaaaaltbie.  Makes me cringe.  I also loved his short sleeve shirt with the tie look on Friday.  Homer Simpson.

Koch is a Doggie Downer! The way he talks, every shot has a potential for disaster and Koch is prepared for it!  "Johnny, there are bunkers down the left side and (OOOOOOOOH) there's water down the right.  He doesn't want to top it or rope hook it because (OOOOOOOOH) that could be trouble!!    OOOOOOOHH!    Worst......announcer........ever!!!!

Hmm.  I'd better check my Urban Dictionary for 'doggie downer'.  Might have something to do with 'doggie style' which i do like.

Unfortunately, a doggie downer is a sedative.

Golf Channel/NBC really looked at their lineup for The Players and thought, “You know what this needs? More Gary Koch.” Seriously? They dragged him out of retirement, shoved the usual guys aside, and now we’re stuck listening to his overly dramatic, self-important tone all weekend. Every shot is either the hardest thing he’s ever seen or a “just OK” effort. The endless clichés, the condescending delivery—it’s exhausting. Was anyone actually asking for this? Or is Golf Channel/NBC just out of touch?

 

Funny enough, I turned to ChatGPT just to see if anyone else felt the same way, and it led me here. Turns out, this thread has been dead for 3,710 days, but I guess some things never change—especially Golf Channel/NBC’s questionable commentary decisions

      So you think there is nothing unusual about the amount of injuries and surgeries he has been through so far?

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Better stuff today.  Backswing mapping, watching the club go back to where I want it, pause and feel the position, take it back to address, and repeat while looking at the ball.  Some feels I am playing around with.  1) Feeling like my right hand is pushing out away from me to keep the right arm extended. Really actively resist the momentum of the swing to collapse the right arm. I can't do this early because I will just push my hands outward. It's like A2.5 to A3.5.  2) Feeling a bit less flex in the left wrist at A3. I can't do this much or I will just roll the club inside. I caught myself doing this a few times and stopped.  3) Like above, feeling the overall body position at A3. I ideally want my swing to be A3.5 in length. Downswing, I got to really feel the pause again.  I also was doing some downswings while looking at the club at A3-A4 just to make sure it was going down and not out. I kind-of can hit the ball flush while not even looking at the ball. 🤣 Yea, trying to disconnect the hands down and tilting back to lower the club is difficult.  Also, even if I get my hands down better, I end up hitting straight hooks or flipping straight cuts. The club doesn't come in flush a lot. I definitely feel a flip at the ball the ball most of the time.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By saevel25 ·

      Day 4 March 15th, 2025 hit about 20 golf balls, a lot of non-hitting practice. Backswing length to A3 feels, downswing stuff.

      Take this with a grain of salt but, when I see high speed/high leverage freewheeling swings like yours (from your swing video), it makes me think that considering the combo of outward and downward pressure required, you might not be applying sufficient downward pressure through impact. Tendency is more out than down. A good analogy is keeping an inflated ball pushed down underwater in a pool. I think it is the hardest force/pressure component to master.  It's a guess. I also think back pain is a symptom, theoretically speaking.
