I am watching the US open right now and I just whitnessed a single put in between two commercial breaks. They rarely show the full scoreboard during play, giving viewers no way to track they're fav's. They are forced to show more replays than live shots with they're choice in player coverage.<BR/>I wish NBC would sell all of their heart felt flashbacks and side stories to the Golf Channel. They'd fit nicely in between some 3am infomercials. When I want to see the US Open, I want to see the US Open damnit.Anonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347482.post-1150592276322853162006-06-17T17:57:00.000-07:002006-06-17T17:57:00.000-07:00Why is that whatever channel is covering a major golf championship we only see the US competitiors play?<BR/>Take the current US Open at Winged Foot. There are 3 US players in contention. The viewing public are not informed - unless the leader board is analysed that a dozen or so overseas players are also in contention. <BR/>NBC focuses on Mickelson, Stricker and Fyurk and almost ignores the rest of the field.<BR/>I find this not only frustrating but misrepresentative of the talent on the course.<BR/>No wonder that it comes as a surprise that when the USA loses Ryder Cup after Ryder Cup!Birdie Burrows[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347482.post-1121180177294491422005-07-12T07:56:00.000-07:002005-07-12T07:56:00.000-07:00Speaking of light on humor...Whatever happened to Gary McCord? He used to do some on-course commentary (which I really enjoyed) once in a while and I miss him! I like the NBC crew but I wish they would lighten up a bit more, right, Rog?...Evil Chasmodianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00413587698472624035[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347482.post-1113206323671404882005-04-11T00:58:00.000-07:002005-04-11T00:58:00.000-07:00What if a golf ball were to hit the cable? I don't know but that stuff seems like a bunch of fluff to me. Just show me the golf and give me some intriguing commentary.Anonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347482.post-1112591364484071872005-04-03T22:09:00.000-07:002005-04-03T22:09:00.000-07:00I agree. NBC has far and away the best golf coverage. I'd like to see what they could do with The Masters if given the chance.Mr. Shankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082184097580449835[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347482.post-1112153030778691622005-03-29T19:23:00.000-08:002005-03-29T19:23:00.000-08:00Actually, it was used to provide some of the camera views. It never really "tracked" shots, though, which is what I thought it was supposed to do.Erik @ The Sand Traphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17240374111147164038[email protected]
