The greens are what drives me crazy. Some guys hit a putt pure and in the center of the cup only for it to wobble left or right. That's not right.

I'd be he happy if they just showed some fricking golf. That's why I'm tuned in. To watch golf. Not hear about michael snaggle tooth bamberger's new book, and endless interviews with people who are not playing. Show some golf and I'll be happy. They're over producing the shite out of this broadcast.

They're waiting for the leaders to tee off. It's kinda like their live coverage of pregame sort of speak. You'll get nothing but golf once everyone tees off

Extremely disappointed. Terrible coverage and even worse camera work. Joe Buck sucks.

Doubtful. Huge mistake all around on this one


Oh, I will bet my left nut it will make a return.

I think the USGA should make a return soon to Merion East. The problem, some of these courses do not want the USGA coming in and tricking up their treks. That is why you are seeing more US Opens at the public courses.

These cameramen can't follow the balls to save their live. Pathetic

You're thrown off by the time. At this time of the day for an East Coast Open, the leaders are 5 holes in...the human interest stuff was at 10am on the golf channel.

Chambers Bay is the USGA answer to Valhalla for the PGA.

This course is being complained about because nobody has seen it before. The course is fine. The players are pros, they'll adjust. They hate what they don't know.

No the players did. They were told 8-10 rounds would help them. They knew and they didn't play it. Some have admitted to it.

Well, they did warn the golfers that they could not just show up the week of the tournament and expect to play well. Mike Davis warned them they better get out to Chambers to scout the course

Surprisingly Joe's buck is one of the least shitty aspects of the fox coverage.

Exactly. I have no sympathy for the pros.

Well, I see they promptly got Davis on tv to try and salvage this cluster. Sure Mike, you guys knew exactly what you were doing. What a joke

These guys want the Waste Management difficulty this week but the honor of a major.

The players and commentators complaining need to realize every US Open is a hard setup and it's to identify the best golfer not embarrass them.
