Cara Robinson joins Morning Drive

[cubdog]

Finally, as advertised, Cara Robinson has joined Morning Drive. I think she will be a well needed addition and a breath of fresh air. I've always enjoyed her work the few times I've seen her on the golf channel. Hopefully she will be around for a good long while.

I have no idea who she is. Since you seem to know, what can you tell us about her @cubdog ?

Robinson is from England and had been working for Sky Sports. I really don't know all that much about her. I have heard that she has a good reputation among her peers and that she is well liked by the European tour players. Given the number of Euros playing the PGA Tour and living in Florida the hire makes sense. It appears she is taking Kelly Tilghman's place on Morning Drive.

I've been following her on Twitter for a while. Seems nice.

Finally found her Twitter name @CaraRobbo

I googled her, since I don't watch the GC. She'll do.

The quantity of plastic in the mornings has declined significantly.

I've watched her on the Euro tour shows.  Thumbs up.

So that's why she isn't on sky golf here in the UK any more! You buggers stole her!!!! :) She comes across as being a really genuinely nice person. regards Mailman

Just saw Gary Williams between Cara Robinson and Phil Blackmar on today's show and it looked odd ... Gary looked like he was in a PIP (picture in a picture). Admirable. He must have no issues as to his stature. I'd look smaller, too, next to Blackmar, and heck, Cara in heels. But I'm not on TGC.... for good reason...

[cubdog]

I saw that as well. Pretty funny. Williams must be around 5'5". I think Blackmar is around 6'7". Robinson maybe 5"10"?

Once I heard about Tiger's meltdown at the Memorial today I turned on Golf Channel to get caught up on what happened and caught her for my first experience as a viewer on their pregame show. I couldn't watch it for long! Her voice is the most grating, piercing voice I have ever heard - she sounds like a stern British headmistress in a private school lecturing the students. It was so annoying I actually had to turn it off. Did nobody audition her? Does GC management really think her voice is going to win over U.S. viewers? Make it stop!

Speak for yourself.

[Golfingdad]

Speak for yourself.

Yeah. Even if his description is accurate I think I quite like the visual of a "British headmistress scolding her students."

The only thing that could improve this show is if they paved the set with the hosts still sitting in their chairs.

You seem happy with Cara Robbo! You even took the time to respond to a poster that doesn't like her either! Yes she seems to know her stuff but the problem is her fast talking accent! I dislike her also! So as yo said ' I'm speaking for myself! I watch less GCMornings now because I can't understand a word she says!

First post?

While I do not dislike her, and she speaks rapidly, I think she is doing well for that show.

She is a tall drink of water... some people like the drink, others do not.

[viperguy46]

True, bad choice of words! I do not dislike her because she does seem to know what she is talking about. I dislike her accent to the point of not be able to understand her. so why watch her? Holley by all means was a guy thing because she looked hot as a bimbo!
