LOL, Fox golf was a mess, she wanted to be in the studio, she made herself almost physically unrecognizable and spends her time on Instagram publishing pics of herself in not very much. Doing the football thing I guess now.

 

About the only thing she's gotten right IMO was divorcing that moron Kuselias.

 

Anyway, CBS won't be hiring her.

She was good on MD, but has had a lot of plastic surgery and you wonder if she’s turned into a different kind of person. Her Instagram account is just...weird. Some people are good in certain formats, but not others.

[Holy Moses]

Has Davis done any work on CBS or the Golf Channel?

I just went to her Instagram page and WOW... Not a good way. Pretty sad actually.

[larciel]

yeah.. WTF ?

Hope she's mentally stable.

[MattyO1984]

Her Insta page is definitely an experience. From a nostalgic point of view I followed her for a short period of time but the whole thing just became a little sad so it was a swift unfollow.

 

Looking forward to seeing what DL3 can bring to the table. Surely something more insightful that McCord that is for sure.

Doubtful. Narcissism is a helluva drug

Another waste of "golf content." Paulina's never done it for me and Balionis is a little thicker than I like. The old Holly Sonders is more my speed.

That might be the understatement of the year. He was desiccated 20 years ago. Who's next on CBS's wish list? Mike Reid?

 

Dottie Pepper is now the most interesting personality on CBS Golf...unless we somehow count Sir Nick's incoherent daffy ramblings as interesting.

 

Waiting for Pat Perez! Now that would be interesting.

If you want to see shots, golf broadcast in its current form is not for you. I don't care what network we are talking about, you're not getting a lot of that anymore outside of the majors. Until people start not tuning in at all, they are just going to keep packing in as many commercials as they possibly can and show us 3 drives and 4 tap ins until the last few holes with the leader(s).

[Barfolomew]

Just bring in someone who doesn't treat the players and viewers like toddlers..... constantly making excuses for the pros misses.

 

Yes you Ian Baker.... "Oh quick Rors needs to be burped stat after that almost miss the poor fella..."

Seems to be running rampant in today's golf world. Look at some of the instructors that inundate Twitter with repetitive nonsense just to keep their "brand" fresh and afloat.

The PGA Tour has made no secret, they are looking at alternative ways to distribute content. Given the ever-changing nature of content viewing, it's becoming more and more important to stream in order to remain relevant. The PGA Tour is discussing the possibility of renewing with CBS if Viacom will turn TruTV or another channel into the "PGA Tour Network." https://awfulannouncing.com/golf/pga-tour-to-begin-bid-process-for-rights-deals-all-of-which-are-up-after-2021.html

Golf Channel’s not for sale. It’s owned by NBC/Comcast.

 

[cristphoto]

Bill Macatee is out also. Jim Nantz could take a hint from the Euro broadcasts and only talk when needed. Too gabby.

[dcfas]

Tough crowd here. I thought Kostis and McCord were both good. Different talents. What are we going to get now? They should bring back Johnny. Lol.

Hi...I'm new to GolfWRX and my friend Peter mentioned that people on this site have been asking about me and my future. First, Peter and I have been together for over 20 years and he's a truly wonderful man. He always makes sure my paper trays are full and the toner cartridges are are never depleted. Now that he's pursuing future endeavors you might want to know what's up with me. First, I'm relatively young and in my 20's so life is in front of me. My Dad Xerox and Mom Kodak prepared me from an early age about the changes in life so I'm not wired to any job and consider myself wireless. My wife Ricoh (she's Hispanic) and I are thinking it might be time to settle down and start reproducing a family. Ricoh is into tattoos and wants to name our first child InkJet but I'm more Star Wars and like the name LaserJet.

 

Konica wants to send me back to the factory to have my career refurbished but I think I'm good for another 10,000 copies or so.

 

If there are any questions I can answer for you about Peter or our time together on CBS feel free to ask away.

Hello Mr. or Mrs. Hawkeye. As my grandparents were from the old country, they were International Business Machines. Aftet migrating to the United States, my grandmother Dot (Matrix) met my grandfather, who you might have heard of. He's Brad FAXon. Their union was when the magic started to happen.

Oh my. That sent red flags off all over the place. Guaranteed she has voices directing her. And 32? I’d have guessed 45 if a day ... wow. And I’m not kidding. Why ? Why would anyone turns themselves into a wax model)

It’s really sad on so many levels to me. Hopefully her nose doesn’t fall off like MJ

Agree but a solid pick, he knows the game, most importantly. I was worried in the ME TOO era we'd get more gals doing 'sideline' reporting, like those god awful post round intreviews.

WTF?

 

Plenty of "gals" who know golf and would be great at it. The other stuff really not germane at all to the discussion.

 

Worried we'd get more "gals"? Really? Bring 'em on!

DL3 is okay. At least we won't get the contrived schtick. Though it really doesn't matter since I watch so little golf due to too many commercials.

So if DL3 is in the booth, who are the candidates for walking the fairways and swing analysis ? I've heard Trevor Immelman might be a candidate.
