Fox's Coverage of the US Open

What is everyone's take on the coverage so far?
Personally I hate it. The commentators are awful. The camera work is crap. And it feels like they are trying to way to hard. I really enjoy the primetime aspect, but I could definitely do without Joe Buck covering golf. Do you guys see Fox getting another Major Championship?

I'm just watching because there are no other sports on.

They have a decade of the US Open to prove themselves.

Oh wow, I didn't realize that. It's going be a long ten years if they don't shape up.

I agree that the camera shots are often not very good. Their graphics are horrible.
The one bright spot is I've enjoyed Greg's analysis and commentary. Good job mate.

It all just makes me think of:

they'll figure it out... now will Chambers Bay ever get another major? I don't see that happening

i like the drone stuff. they need to fix their ball tracker. but it's often hard to tell which direction the balls are coming from and rolling based off where the cameras are set up. the commentators have been average or slightly below but that will improve with time.

I've seen multiple times when the cameramen are running around the green after a putt is made and shaking all over the place. Also the orange ball tracker is annoying. Just awful. It's just hard to watch a football and baseball network try golf lol.

So far, so good IMO. Especially considering it's their first Open. They'll get the kinks (e.g., ball tracker) worked out. They already fixed a few problems.
And it's obviously not Fox's fault that the course looks like dog shite.

This is my biggest criticism so far. It's a links golf course and more like a (British) Open site. Kudos to Fox for the Thursday-Friday prime time network golf though.

They improved from Thursday to Friday. It's getting better. Hopefully it keeps improving. The featured group channel is great with mark brooks and Tim Brando talking shite

they get a pass because they're new at it and the course is weird.
Posted on 6/20/15 at 1:27 pm to LSUlefty
I'd much rather listen to Tim Brando than Johnny Miller
Posted on 6/20/15 at 1:29 pm to Bonck1987
Pretty bad so far, Buck is horrible. Most of the commentators are way to bland. I started watching 15 minutes ago and haven't seen a shot yet.

I thought we'd see more Holly Sonders. I'd like to see more Holly Sonders. She wears great golf outfits.

It's prime time because it is west coast.

Maybe I've never noticed it before, but I keep seeing cameramen scrambling to get set-up on the course. Is it because of the layout? It really looks unprofessional to me.

Greg Norman has been great... everything else has not been. I've been watching it now for 45 minutes and I feel like I've watched maybe 5 minutes of actual golf
