He's okay in small doses, but does tend to get annoying after awhile. Preferable to have someone w/a personality than plain vanilla.

This is my opinion as well.  I don't mind him - heck, I don't mind any of them because I'm not watching to listen to them - but he can babble on a bit too much sometimes.  It's especially goofy when he gets to throw it to commercial and they show a dog on a beach or a guy hang-gliding and he comments on that.

Please. Someone. CBS. Bring TV golf back to me. I know and follow about 200 PGA golfers and almost the same number of European players every week and this man Gary McCord is ruining it for me. I have to turn the sound off and then I lose focus. Yes Nick Faldo with his after-the-fact calls and Johnny Miller with his the-problem-with-so and so can raise dissent but the totally incoherent, impertinent babble of McCord is like suddenly having a children's program piped into the golf match. Please stop him.

Feherty - is that you?

Didn't he have a stint on the senior tour? What happened to that?

Totally agree. Talks way too much. Thank goodness we don't have to listen to his nonsense at the Masters.

He did pretty well pre 2006. So he was playing and announcing then? I didn't even notice. I wonder how he managed that.

McCord is the man

Agreed. McCord doesn't take himself or the game too seriously. Golf is supposed to be fun, right?

He's OK, but gets on my nerves sometimes.  I think the problem I have with him is that he tries too hard sometimes to make EVERY comment funny.  I have no problem with a few humorous comments now and then.  It's just that by seemingly making every comment a comedy jewel, he misses more often than he hits.  Not every comment needs to make us chuckle.

I think this nails it.

LOL.  I read the quote above when it was posted a few hours ago, but I only read it on the "new posts" teaser page.  I gave the author name a cursory glance, and because I saw a few letters followed by a two digit number ending in 2, so I assumed it to be you.  Then just now, I read this post on the same page and was like "Whoa!!  What did McCord do to Phan in the last hour to make him change his tune so harshly like that!" :-P

I should pay more attention. :doh:

P.S.  I like Peter Kostis pretty well too.  Can't help but chuckle, though, every time he's required to say "Kodak Swing Vision Canon BizHub Nikon Copier Fax Camera Spaceship SLo-Mo Instant Replay Vision View Thingy Sponsored by Chevy" ... or something to that effect. :beer:

Gary has almost become a parody of himself it seems, but I cannot not like him. Feherty tries too hard to be funny, but I think McCord is just out there. I admit it becomes unbearable at times, but I'm not going to throw him under the bus. :no:

Gary's OK, but I prefer Holly Sonders. Probably just me.

I've very nearly perfected a way to override the audio portion of the Masters tournament broadcast next year, thereby silencing Jim Nantz, and then having McCord do ALL the commentary from a secret remote location. Buwahahahaha!

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      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.
