Is FOX fixin' to get The Masters as well?!?

Oh God. They'll eventually do Golf really well I imagine its just a matter of Time prolly. Staffing up better mainly I guess. I found Greg Nornan to be wholly acceptable even "Good" really but my standards aren't high. I just wanna see the Golf mainly.

The Open at Chambers Bay had a few "hilarious" moments...cuz all you can do is Laugh really when FOX zooms in for a close up of the important Rory Birdie put and they somehow manage to accomplsih a stripper-esque perusal of his body shoulder to knee and completely manage to show nothing of the putt. Not even a portion of the club lmfao. Let alone Golf ball or Hole. That CBS shows every time when a crucial Birdie Putt is taking place.

Fox or not sounds like Seeds of Change are being planted.....

1979. Jeebus that contract was signed ages ago.

Not Allowed.

WTF is with

"Do Not Estimate the Length of a Putt"

"Do Not guess at the location of a Ball"

Made these 2 rules just to remove any doubt as to whether they're assholes or not, I reckon.

Surprised CBS puts up with this shit. Not very though cuz its big money.

Back in the day, I remember reading (I think it was SI) that Pat Summerall forgot his press pass and the guard wouldn't let him in even though he and everyone else knew who he was. The people who run it are the most uptight ever.
