been watching and playing golf for 50 years and this was the worst coverage i’ve ever seen . People tune in to see golf when does the golf start. I have never seen so many people talking about golf in my life must be a money thing. I hope NBC will never be allowed to cover the US Open again. I have heard the same comments hundreds of people.
It is so annoying viewing a golf telecast and listening to the roaring of the blimp in the background. I’ve been muting the sound because if this distracting noise. No one wants to listen to that, especially me!!
