Their shot tracker sucks, but other than that I've enjoyed it. Greg Norman has done a great job in the booth.

Joe Buck sounds good in any sport/setting.

Mark Brooks is making the whole thing for me so far. Just shitting on Natalie Gulbis all day.

Brooks is money. He's the best analyst I've heard so far.

Other than this stupid segment they're running right now I think it's been pretty good.

I don't like Norman. His voice sounds like small grain sand paper.

Fox is so cheap though. they have the black NFL guy hosting the show tonight. I feel like Jimmy Johnson is about to come on set.

Biggest complaint is half the time you have no idea what the hell the player they are showing is sitting at for the tournament or for the hole. I didn't know what Rory was at all day.

As opposed to ESPN bringing Chris Berman?

I like the shot tracker FWIW. Wish they would do it more.

This. Half the time the graphic with player name and score doesn't show up or they jump camera shots before the shot is finished. The production is pretty bad. And the mid-afternoon crew (Junior Varsity) was worse than awful. Except for Corey Pavin, none of them knew what they were talking about.

Oh, and David Fay looks ridiculous with that loud-arse blue bow tie.

Terrible to me. Not a fan of the coverage or the course.

It got so bad that Brando would overly praise her for the simplest of break downs.

"This looks like a tough putt"

"Natalie that's a really, really nice point of view. Thank you for that."

Brooks basically corrected everything she said

She said a putt broke left early in the day and after the putt he said in a smartass tone, something like "I knew that putt broke right."

Biggest complaint is they didn't seem to know the course at all. I really like knowing the small details of what a shot will do before it happens and they had no ability to explain that stuff. I can't tell you how many times the praised a shot or said it was good, while it was obviously not very good. I mean, there were times where they were talking about shots having great lines down the middle or left of the fairway while I was watching it fly down the right and hugging a bunker or rough.
