Televised golf coverage in general sucks in the US. It sucks because over the years it's become a competition to see who can sound the smartest and talk the most.
I miss Renton Laidlaw and his cohost when they would do European Tour events back in the day. He had the gift of knowing when to talk, when not to, and get this - he was never on the European Tour's order of merit list. He was a recreational player who struggled to get into the single digits in his handicap. But he was well respected by the many players he covered, so well respected that he played numerous rounds with some of the top players in the game during his career.
One would've never known that about him during a telecast, because he wasn't more important than the game he covered for a living.
