    I'm willing to give Fox the full weekend before forming an opinion. This is their first tourney and it's like the Super Bowl so everything is magnified. I think they would've been better served doing a few smaller ones leading up to this weekend. Let's see if they can iron out the kinks....(although nothing can fix Buck)

    Yeah, I'm very surprised they didn't get the rights to some smaller tournaments leading up to this. The U.S. Open as your first tournament to cover is pretty damn tough.

    I think the main thing is that we don't know any of these analysts/announcers. So used to the guys on CBS/NBC. But honestly none of these analysts/announcers are doing much for me so far.

    There was also a lot of talk about them revolutionizing the golf telecast...don't see too much of that so far.

    Is it too much to ask for the announcers to know the players score or what stroke they are on on a given hole?

    The best part was when Curt Menefee was talking about Phil's post game press conference or something along those lines.

    Scary stuff.

    I like Day a lot. Want an American to win this weekend, but I would like to see Day do well. Like his game.

    agreed.

    also agree, buck and shark were on way too long....it would have been way to long even if they were good.

    and....holly sonders?? maybe this is what FOX meant by revolutionizing the coverage :smiley:

    Oh my god I almost forgot how uncomfortable that was. Artie is the best. He single-handedly killed the Joe Buck show.

    wah wah wah.

    "Mr. Player" makes some very valid points as far as the weekend duffer is concerned but if the pros cant be happy to be in a beautiful place with beautiful weather and to be making a years pay for just playing four rounds then they can withdraw. fuck anybodywho's whining about this. :rage:

    This is what happens when you have douches who just drink all god damn day long. The baba booey call outs were worse. I love golf on the west coast, freaking take a 3 hour nap and wake up with a bunch of players still to finish their last 9 holes or. I hope Spieth wins it. Oh and the only thing revolutionary bout fox's coverage is they have people who don't have a clue bout golfing but the people on the course. Fox just needs to stick with football. Fox's coverage of golf reminds me of their days doing hockey.

  • eddieceddiec Posts: 3,878
    I like the course but the USGA has definitely tampered with it to make some of the holes questionable. Spieth hit a perfect drive yesterday, down the left with a little draw. The ball rolled across the fairway into the thick rough on the right hand side. That's just plain wrong.
