Ball isn’t going to far. The ball rolls on the fairways too much. You should not get 50+ yards of roll
Longer hitters will always be longer. The quality of the athlete has improved over time.
I guess its my age. I am sorry, but I call it the Pitch and Putt tour. Wide fairways, players books, forgiving clubs-you hit the ball as far as you are able. Then play your best short game and putt. The anouncers were adequate at best and hard to hear. The great LA Country club touted loudly every few minutes. Okay Kostis you build 3 courses for tournamnets. Does your tour become elitist for some one who wants to see a tournament up close and personnal, but don't make your money.
Can we get Gary a microphone?
Can I have a cap please, dedicated listener and follower.👍🏌️
Mike, I’m so glad you put this program together. I certainly missed this classic team and really enjoy listening to them again. Great job!
What about the Rory embedded drop?
The smaller crowds didn't bug me nearly as much as all the commercials. Mike Whan said they would have less commercial "interruptions". All they did was increase the amount of those Play Through commercials which is total BS!
I always enjoyed Peter Allister's coverage of the British Open. He described what was occurring in a simple and factual manner without speculation or hyperbole.
Loved Peter’s idea to build USGA facilities. But couldn’t they also grow the fairway grass out some and let the greens get dried out? The rollout on the drives are sometimes 60+ yards. Or maybe mow the fairways backwards like Augusta to combat the distance?
I agree with Peter's idea of the 3 USGA public courses. Excellent !!
As to sound, the droning of the aircraft overhead caused me to turn off the sound for a lot of the broadcast on Sunday.
The guy who attempted to cancel Wyndham Clark for Tweeter-Wrongthink is Will Bardwell: Civil rights lawyer by day and golf writer by night, according to his twitty profile.
Can we fix McCords audio, like he’s in the back shed…😂
I was watching a Utuber who was complaining about the LA Golf club being a small footprint. Does anyone know what he is talking about. I thought the TV people had said it was a long course.
I miss both these guys on tv. Nance and his crew are pitiful. Assinger and that clown with him are worse.
This Covid format isn't good. 2nd video I tried to watch like this and it is a no go situation. Nothing like mailing it in.
No attendance whatsoever! Members only!
The course did look hard, but it just didnt feel like an open. Maybe it was the broadcast idk, but i was so excited for the open and it just didnt do it for me this year.
I used to have great respect for Peter Kostis. Teaming up with sh** for brains Mc Cord has changed my mind.
