plenzmd1 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) Been watching The Open on and off all day. Rooting for Patrick Reed...I like his unabashed cockiness. That being said, Fox has a lot to learn covering golf. Just seems like they cannot track the ball near as well as the other networks. Times when I have no clue where a freakin putt is, let alone a drive or approach shot. Shot tracker is cool, but. It when I have no clue the result of the shot for 20 seconds. I know they are rookies and will get better, but to my mind they are struggling mightily right now. Be interesting to see if they get better by Sunday night. BTW, Tiger is done as a contender in any trny, let alone a major. Edited June 19, 2015 by plenzmd1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be, but I was there last year saying give it some time. And even though he is a youngin compared to me, at his age when you lose confidence , think it tough get back. He looks awful, and has for 18 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Could be, but I was there last year saying give it some time. And even though he is a youngin compared to me, at his age when you lose confidence , think it tough get back. He looks awful, and has for 18 months. just missed about a 2 footer to cap off a triple bogey confidence is a funny thing in golf, even a low level hack like me. at one time i played pretty decent, and then took a big gap backwards for which i have no explanation. But I can tell i wont get it back it either. seems mental more than physical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve O Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Rickie Fowler gave a nice interview after shooting 81...Tiger refused to speak to the announcers, though he did speak at press conference. Mentioned he kicked Rickie's butt (Tiger shot 80) Edited June 19, 2015 by Steve O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Fox needs to add all the promos that they use in NASCAR. The gopher cam, or get someone like Ned Jarrett or Neil Bonnet to make the calls out of green. Yeah! That, and more Bababooeys or My rooster Is Gone on the t-offs.

plenzmd1 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 I found the fox telecast to be really hard to follow. I really hope, and believe, they will get better as the tiny progresses. As I work out of the house, great to have on one background all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 i know this is a partial links style course, but did they award the greenskepper contract based on low bid? the course looks like dookie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 oh i get that, but this isn't an open championship, the US Open should be our own...deep roughs, narrow fairways By design, it looks and is set up like an Open Championship venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewPort71 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Chambers Bay is a public course. $250 for 18. It is a walking course and caddies are highly recommended. I could shoot 80. Then make the trun with a beer and a hot dog and shoot another 80 on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 aren't all US Open tourneys held at public courses? I bet i could shoot about 100, but again, like any hacker, I am not aiming for the perfect spot on the green...i aim for around the green and work from there.

Setting aside the need for accuracy I don't possess, I couldn't hit a driver far enough to even be in play on some of these holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I work out of the house, great to have on one background all day. agree. Golf on fox is just weird. Greg Norman was supposed to save the coverage but his analysis isn't really all that great. The demolition of Tiger's game though was epic. Edited June 19, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCBillsFan Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 It's a pretty sad state of Tiger's game when a 14 year old bests him by 3 shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
