I was just curious if anyone had a " LEAST FAVORITE " golf commentator?

I can't stand Johnny Miller. He's annoying as :censored: , very negative, and it seems like every chance he gets, he talks about himself.

I have a few others that are on my list that in some way irritate me and I will put these names in a poll (in no particular order).

Let me know your thoughts!!

Everyone h ave a safe & wonderful 4th of July , 2014!!!

A pampas ass? That would be what, some kind of Argentinian mule? Personally I don't find Faldo especially pompous, his TV persona is surprisingly OK considering how notoriously difficult a personality he had as a player.

I'm on the fence about Faldo, I think he's gotten a little better in recent months...I didn't even think about Berman, but agreed, definitely annoying (he can stick his "back, back, back" up his a$$, a$$, a$$ LOL)

Is there any possible way to add Tom Abbott, Paul Azinger, Chris Berman, Nick Faldo, David Feherty, Rich Lerner, Gary Koch, Peter Jacobsen, and Gary McCord to the poll? It'd be a more accurate representation  of whom the community dislikes the most.

Really..? When I've watched the Euro tour, I liked the way they announced the game. Dougie, can't recall his last name, seemed like a good announcer. Do have tons of commercials during a tournament ..?

No not really Hammer, the number if commercials is no more or less than usual. But I guess each to their own when it comes to commentating. Personally I can't stand the Argentinian Donkey and Monty! :) Regards Mailman

It is not even close for me, Brandel Chamblee.  He is a puke.  If Bob Costas was on with him, it would be exponential pukes.  I want whoever is announcing with them to just punch them in the face.

Miller is my favorite, and not just on that list.  I like his honesty and knowledge of the game.  Always liked Peter Alliss too.  Judy Rankin does a professional job.

Chamblee is the least liked on that list.  Not too fond of Faldo either.

I guess I don't watch enough golf these days though, because I wouldn't know Tripp Isenhour if I bumped into him.

John Miller is my favorite also. Tells it like it is.

My least favorite is Chris Berman. Let him do something other than golf, I don't understand how he ever landed a links gig.

Anybody who is too "careful". Kelly Tilghman is my least favourite. Ever since she made that remark about Woods way back, she has been way too soft and fake.

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      By Shindig · Posted

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??

      I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
