I will miss Johnny....do not recall him ever sugar coating a golf shot. A breath of fresh air in todays TV coverage. In my opinion he seldom talked too much.......what he said was worth hearing. Too short a playing career. Back in the 70's for 2-3 years (in the desert) they all played for 2nd place and his final round of the US Open he won was as perfect a round of golf that I saw played in my lifetime.

I have a set of irons with Mizuno graphite shafts (shafts are from Japan) ....they are labelled Lite-Flex and on the other side of the the label Flex 8...I would like to know what Flex they would be in America....also kick point if possible. Thanks

I said broadcaster because he called it as honestly as possible. I believe he did not hang out with the player therefore he could do that. Most TV announcers today seem to be afraid of offending a player by not being honest with some less than quality shots. The 63 he shot to win the US Open was as good a round of golf posted in my time (have played golf for over 60 years) in a Major. Straight ball hit...when players get that hit it straight get hot with their irons...they knock the pin down. His driver and putter works well for him that day.
