There's no need to desperately look for some mitigating factors. Best one was early in his round when he was blazing tee shots into the shite on the right side, and a commentator suggested he might still have some of the Scottish Open breeze he encountered last week affecting the way he’s swinging. I might try that one if I’m pish in our members & guests on Saturday. ‘Sorry I was guff, was windy last week at Deer Park and some of it is obviously still lingering in my backswing’. Might work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iona and Inci are very decent and have improved. The likes of Beem and Dougherty have great insight. Stated before but Butch Harmon is a huge miss to the commentary team. *Mainly when I have no fucking idea if it's a straight putt or left to right. Stating the obvious I know, but we’ll all like different commentators. I’ve said it before, but I can’t help liking Faldo when he pops up in the box. I know he’s a pillock, but I enjoy his patter. I find him to be a wee bit different from the formula. Dame Laura is vanilla, unlike Faldo. She never says anything remotely insightful, but isn’t particularly irritating either. Henni’s voice just annoys the shit out of me. Radar used to annoy the shit out of me too, but I’ve come around to his OTT style. Beem is good, he, in my opinion, encompasses everything a golf commentator needs. Insight, not bland, doesn’t possess an irritating voice, and like Faldo, is just that wee bit different from the vanilla commentators. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I don't mind Dame Laura as a studio analyst type. She's often too quick to call shots when she's commentating live. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needed a bogey-par finish for a 79, so went for the more impressive double bogey-birdie finish instead I'm a big fan of Scotsraig, and breaking 80 there is never a bad result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a show about Radar. He basically stated he acts OTT to make it exciting for the viewers at home instead of being dull and stating the obvious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Justin Thomas’ card looked fine to me. Out in 39, back in 43. 82 less my 12 handicap is a good solid 70. I’ll take it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Golden God Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Got bets on Bradley and Pieters at big prices and both are hovering about ten each way places. Guarantee they’ll stay there all weekend and finish a shot or 2 out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
