Looking Forward To Faldo On CBS

Thanks go out to CBS for giving Lanny Wadkins a chance to back up all those comments he made that alluded to his golfing ability. Yes, he was a pretty good golfer for a short time, but I doubt he’ll make any big noise on the Champions Tour.

CBS went from bad to worse when they replaced Ken Venturi with Lanny Wadkins. Now we’ll get to listen to Faldo’s acerbic comments and glean the thoughts of a six-time Major championship winner. I think it’ll work.

Will he do a better job than Lanny ? You’d have to think so. Can even the great Nick Faldo cover up the fact that Jim Nantz is as bad as we all believe ? Not a freakin’ chance.

Wouldn’t you hate to play a round with someone (Nantz) that syrupy ? I would.

They’ll never get rid of him (Nantz), so we’ll have to just make the best of the situation.

Faldo will be the man for 3 of the four majors. He’ll do The Open Championship for ABC, The Masters and The PGA Championship for CBS and we’ll get Johnny Miller for the U.S. Open.

Hopefully Paul Azinger will take this as a hint to go back to playing golf for a living, as he ain’t what we’re looking for behind the mic either. But he is a helluva gritty and talented player who’s fun to watch.

Maybe more involvement by the Golf Channel will help the broadcast’s of PGA Tour events.

One thing I can suggest that would help all the broadcasters on every network - get the muckety mucks to forget about their silly policy requiring jackets on the analysts.

Why in the heck would golf broadcasts not be done by people in golf attire ?
