Now that they are in twosome's on the weekend, I think you will see less of it.

They should be prepositioned in the landing area for tee shots and then it's just a matter of getting setup behind whoever's hitting first.

I love the 18 analysts they put around the table like it's Sunday NFL game day

It's been horrible...camera work is especially bad...no replays, the director does not do a good job of going to the most interesting shots...they don't do enough "moments ago" replays of critical shots...
Way too many shots of camera men scrambling around...

Kudos to Fox for the Thursday-Friday prime time network golf though.



This all day!

While calling the featured groups, they don't at all. Not sure if any other network really does, but they didn't even tell you where Tiger stood yesterday.

Greg Norman has been great.


He's been the best so far. Gotta worry about how he finishes on Sunday though...

On the good side... They started early on FS 1 on Thur and Friday. Got to see golf at 11 am.

On the bad side... Graphics on leaderboard. They only showed the top 5. I want a scroll down to at least 20 before breaking for a commercial.

now will Chambers Bay ever get another major? I don't see that happening




LOL, Chambers was specifically built to host USGA Tournaments. Jones Jr. got input from Mike Davis and the USGA when he was designing and building the course. It will host many more events.

My only complaint about Norman was his attempt to explain vertigo after reading a Wikipedia article last night.

It's awesome having golf on until 9pm CT tonight. Definitely like the late start because of the West Coast.

Also, Holly Sonders is Chamber's Bae

Greg should have said, "Vertigo is like me on Sunday at the Masters. Except, you physically fall down rather than just fall down the leaderboard."

I'm not a fan of the coverage. It can only get better though.

Nah. You'll see them return. And it hasn't been a huge mistake.

It's prime time because it is west coast.


Well, no shite.

My post read ". Kudos to Fox for the Thursday-Friday prime time ..."

The Open was in California three times in five years (2008-2012) and there was no THURSDAY-FRIDAY network live coverage in prime-time. That was my point, and I think most easily understood it.

I think the course is shitty as well which makes the coverage kind of dull.

Are there some tweaks to be made? Sure. But Joe Buck beats the hell out of Chris Berman. And the camera work will get better. I'm personally liking the course more every day.

It's early, but the balls appear to be rolling better on the greens.
