Fox U.S. Open coverage is criminally bad, absolute garbage.

The cutaways, camera angles, lack of action, announcers, this is a train wreck and I felt the same way last year. Is there any way they can cancel this locked in contract? They are ruining the tournament.

I haven't watched, but golf and FOX just sound like a bad combination. Isn't this the same network that put Gus Johnson in the booth for soccer?

I haven't watched yet this year but last year was horrifically bad.

I shudder to think what FOX will do to the World Cup in two years.

I wish there was a channel that you could watch that only had the sounds on the golf course (wind, crowds, players)and no commentators

I'm watching regardless, it's just a distraction thinking how good NBC was at this. I don't even like Johnny Miller either

I agree that it's bad, but I do like the all day coverage, not just afternoons like the other networks

Given that live golf was on tv at 6:30am this morning , I think this is awesome. Who gives a frick what the network is and who the commentators are.

You right. This coverage is honestly lame. They say the dumbest shite.

If you have surround sound, you can unplug (or at least turn down) your center speaker. That's where most of the spoken audio comes from. Then turn up your rear speakers all the way as this is where the background noise comes from (crowd, birds, swing sound, etc).

I've done it for playoff basketball and it sounds pretty awesome. Not sure how it would be for golf.

It's not good. I agree. But it's better than last year.

There is. It's called Fairwayvision, and it's awesome.

It's really not that bad. You're just being dramatic. They don't even have their A crew on yet...even though that's Joe Buck. You can't wait to get to Joe Buck? Just drink a beer and have a good time.

Holly Sonders is hot but she looks like a straight up whore

I honestly don't think it's that bad. Certainly better than last year. I do like the new theme Fox has for the US Open.

Nothing new... I believe it was last year or the year before to where there was an uproar from the viewers as to how bad it was.
