Things that bug me while watching pro golf.


Moleman

Recommended Posts

Any player acting like their family was just murdered for hitting a shot 20 feet from the pin. i.e. Hideki Matsuyama, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas.

Day closing his eye's to envision his next shot.

Johnny Miller

When announcers talk about a golfer's past and all they have overcome.

Any interview with Spieth or Adam Scott.

Pudgy European Tour players wearing J. Lindeberg in a size Smedium. You think that clothing company would understand that does not help sales.

Waiting for David Duval to collect his thoughts.

Frank Nobilo's endless boxing references.

Billy Horschel and Bubba Watson in general.

 

Honorable Mention:

The Morning Drive cast the past 3-5 years. Charlie Rymer you're not funny, stop acting like you're five. Paige you have horrible insight delivered with a lisp and everytime you are on the putting green you miss. The one new guy- fix your teeth and dye your hair one color. That grey spot looks horrible. Chris stop talking about how Tiger spanked you back in the day. It's over.

 

HAHA!!

 

"Paige you have horrible insight delivered with a lisp and everytime you are on the putting green you miss."

 

 

And hits it in the water on TPC Sawgrass #17 every time they have a simulator challenge with a "special guest".

Jason Day-stop with the meditating before every damn shot!

Justin Thomas-someone tell him there's no crying in golf, every time he makes a bad shot it looks like he's going cry. I think his dad needs to sit him down and have a talk with him, lol.

Jordan Spieth-enough with the wiping of the towel five times before every shot, just hit the damn ball would you! And that goes for Jim Furyk too!

Over 50% of the telecast is putting, just love that action-really! More tee and 2nd/3rd shots please!

These announcers just love to bring up the past, and that's nice but enough already. I prefer to watch the Euro telecasts as the announcers know when to shut-the f-up. US telecasts the announcers are constantly babbling about nothing! I thnk they just like to hear their own voices in the headset.

Drug commercials, Waaaaaaaaaaaay too many, is the USA hooked on pharma drugs or what. Drug commercials should be banned on TV like it is in most every other country.

 

Okay I'd better stop or I'll take over this thread, lol.

  1. Spoiled little Princess Justin Thomas (PJT) and his pathetic tantrums.
  2. "Sand traps". What's wrong with "bunker" or does the name have to say exactly what it is / does for people to understand it?
  3. Poor broadcasts filled with ads, saccharine puff pieces and broadcasters talking guff, yet very little actual golf.
  4. Far too much time spent on watching players putt, including lining them up and the often tedious pre-shot routines.
  5. Jim Nantz - a toe-curling, insufferable, sycophant.
  6. US commentators and their compulsion to fill every second of air time with something, even it means talking total b0llocks for 99% of the broadcast.

The post shot neck tilt move, and those dental implants.

And, iron your darn shirt.

 

Ferguson, you sound like my wife. She is no fan of Charlie for similar reasons to what you mention. I kind of like him in spite of his quirks. And I love his golf swing.

 

I'd take Charlie's swing in a heartbeat.

I'd like to see more toursauce from some guys and less from others. For example, Hideki being Hideki is annoying to me - I'd rather not watch him play even though I admit he is world class. On the other hand, I find it funny and somehow entertaining when Justin Thomas gets a little saucy on the course. He bombs one 15 yards over the green and checks and rechecks his yardage book with a puzzled look on his face; I want to start doing that with my Saturday group. I don't even have a yardage book but I want a little booklet or something in my back pocket to refer to after a bad shot. I want toursauce and I don't want toursauce. For the record, I don't like when Spyth gets saucy either.

 

Anytime McCord starts speaking I'd rather he didn't.

 

Less putting - I agree with that.

 

Shows us some hozzel rockets, some Sherman tanks, some shanks ect... we know their out there.

 

I'd could think of plenty more but this is what I got right now.

Charlie's look doesn't bother me that much. I was serious about his swing. His swing looks simple, repeatable, effective and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

No one hates Charlie, I just can't stand looking at him. Think of it like someone puking in the bathroom a few feet away. We don't hate the person, just the sound, and the smell.

 

Charlie has caps huh? Can't really tell.

 

Looks like a car mechanic was in there working on his teeth. It's an awful mess.

not much, but the use of the word "brilliant" (as i just heard) is irritating ... an iron to 3 feet is not brilliant ... every golfer is trying to hit it to 3 feet or better ...

 

The fact most people can't do that makes it brilliant

Terry Gannon on Golf Channel! What a j.o.!

too many putts; let's see some more full shots.

Love the slow motion of the full swing but it's always from "face on". Let's see some from "down the line" and even from behind the player so we can see all the moving parts throughout the swing to answer some of the "burning" questions we students of the game have.

I watch golf on TV just as much to learn details about the swing as I do just to see the tournament.

I don't care if I ever see Jordan Spieth swing a golf club for the rest of my life....or Jim Furyk either.

And Terry Gannon is AWFUL!

Yea Gannon always seems to be holding back from interrupting whoever else is talking next to him. Not listening but thinking when can I say my piece. He was on a Cinderella ncaa basketball team. Why does he do golf?

Your wife sounds very insightful and intelligent.

 

Charlie should clean up his act. He looks representative of his sponsor, Waste Management - a garbage man.

That's very harsh. I love Charlie and always will. I guess it's one of those "to each their own" things but what did he ever do to piss you off.

Pros who miss a 4 to 6 footer and then tap down an invisible and non-existent spike mark that knocked their ball off line. Or, after missing the putt and turning to their caddie with an upraised palm to say it didn't break the way it was supposed to. You friggin' missed the putt... give me a break. Own it.

People complaining about televised golf on the internet.

50%?!

Around 40% sounds about right, but 35% of those strokes are from inside of 4 feet which are converted 97% of the time. So unless it's a Sunday at a major, we don't really need to see them.

How does Johnny Miller know how many times out of 10 a guy is going to pull off a certain shot? He needs to stop.

 

Jason Kokrak & Patrick Reed's pants.

 

Holly Sonders now that she's (barely) on FOX. I used to love her on GC.

 

I miss McCord and Feherty's back and forth banter.
