Golf coverage/commentator discussion thread!! Mod note #12

Deeper Blue

Hopefully the coverage improves over the weekend. I've no interest in watching a broadcast that's essentially CNN news with a few golf shots thrown in.

Also, what's the obsession with discussing golfer's kids/whether they've recently had a kid/whether they're about to have a kid. I can't think of another sport where it's fixated upon anywhere near as much. I couldn't tell you how many kids Kevin de Bruyne or Novak Djokovic or Lewis Hamilton has, mainly because it's rightly never mentioned.

Some of the questions felt like Scottie knocked the person down. How many times have the general public driven by a fatal accident and carry on their day like nothing happened. It’s like sky and golfers have to mourn a death. If this accident happened 10 miles away nothing be made of it or person had a heart attack at home. Just because it happened outside the gate and involved a volunteer.

Not just golf I've listened to increasing amounts in these recent woke years in other sports on various networks drowning their broadcasts about newborn babies, engagement rings, weddings… yeah congrats and all that on your private life but I tuned in to watch the action FFS

Was watching the golf on sky. Was missing so much golf there with their chats and then catch up. Switched on CBS, it's like night and day. The Americans actually make it exciting and not missing any leaders shots.
