I don't have any idea who if any on hear play golf or enjoy watching or even care.
That said, the current coverage of the US Open on NBC just plain sucks and will it likely get worse in the future. Fox sports (who has never even covered a golf tournament before) will get the US Open for the next several years to come.
I miss CBS coverage already... Nantz, McCord, Feherty and all the others do a fantastic job IMHO.
Comparing Masters coverage to this is a joke.
Mini rant over.

I like Johnny Miller. No nonsense analyst IMO.
I'm finding this course to be kinda ugly but haven't watched much yet.

I think Miller is the most arrogant, egotistical prima donna that ever called a sporting event of any kind. Howard Cosell is the one person who might have been worse. End of rant.

At least he's not drunk off his ass like Ken Venturi and Summerall used to be.
That was downright obnoxious at times.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.

Johnny Miller does love to recall and to attempt to regale everyone with his own accomplishments regardless of whether anyone wants to hear it or not.

NBC and ABC are programmed out of my TV. There's nothing, NOTHING they have that I wanna watch. Period. End of story.
Been that way since 2008.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

I grew up in the city and golf was great fun and a way to get away from the folks for an afternoon. I gave it up long ago when I really got into fishing and have rarely picked up club since then. Sir Nick Faldo is my favorite commentator. He knows the game and has great insights on the swing.

Golf, the game where you hit a ball, then chase it!
Only a dingleberry, not yet a Turdlike person, maybe someday!!! I am happier than a retard in a room full of bouncy balls right now!! Joe.

I play whatever, I don't watch.
I'll play golf but have not in 10 years. But I won't watch any sport. Just doesn't make sense much to me.
If I'm not participating, what good does it do me to watch?
I know what we used to do, competitive shooting, would be as boring as golf. And running, riding, swimming like my wife.... damn those would be boring.
Aobut like watching racing too.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
