I think they do a good job, but can we get some more personality in there? Especially without the crowds.

Maybe they can poach Feherty. Why did they drop McCord? Did he just retire or was he let go? More Amanda is always ok.

McCord was let go. He gave an interview saying it was basically because he pissed off the pga.

I would take either. Faldo puts me to sleep.

Dottie Pepper is about as much fun as getting a root canal.

Ferherty and McCord were perfect together.

Faldo and Immelmen are so drab.

I like Immelman but Faldo is quickly approaching a Johnny Miller territory for me.

I agree though they need to add a color guy

Dottie actually gives a lot of good insights on shot selection and how to work around a course. She's just not as comical as folks like McCord and Feherty.

She talks too much and I don’t agree that she’s providing that much insight.

I agree. Imho Part of the problem is she is trying provide insight on a version of golf that is completely different than the game she played.

Rather watch Golf Channel’s coverage. As soon as CBS takes over on weekends, I start seeing virtue signaling commercials and other forms of “awareness”. Just give me golf please without any commentary or editorializing like GC does.

I hate to do this to you, but the golf channel[NBC] had a full 10 minute spot on BLM Friday as they highlighted the black long drive guy. It’s unavoidable unless you turn the tv off.

This is where Tony Finau melts. When CBS comes on, Tony flops.

I love Faldo's swing analysis.

Most on here won't remember, but CBS used Bobby Clampett one year several years ago and he was terrific. Great delivery and a really funny guy. Wish they'd d bring him back.

Actually, I can take any of them, but if I never have to listen to Lanny Wadkins again it'll be too soon.

I think that poor bastard had 3rd degree burns between his knees and midcalves. That hurt just to look at it.
