Testers Wanted! Shot Scope V5 ×

Is it me or does FOX's coverage of the US Open still have room for tons of improvement?

Did Holly Sonders say something? I must've been distracted...

Holly needs to chill out with the ridiculous hair extensions. She's just too much.

Very boring announcers even the professional golfers that announce. Joe Buck is the worst. Faldo, Nance and Miller with the on course announcers are the best. Fox needs to step it up if they want to do golf.

I get it that FOX doesn't want to be too flashy with sports, but golf needs a little flair & credibility.

Tried muting it today with a mix of Bob Dylan, Audioslave, & U2 in the background... worked out better! We will try again next year

... It will be interesting to see if Fox displays more golf and less features/interviews.commentary but I have a feeling they will show even more nonsense for the weekend audience. They are all about flash and entertainment as if they think golf is a Reality Show not a sport. They simply have no idea what their audience wants or they would just show more golf.

Ugh. Im just not a Holly fan... For MANY reasons. I get she's "eye-candy" to many, but I'd rather a well-respected, famous, former championship golfer for the segments.

Are there TRULY men, or women too, watching this event JUST because of Holly Niederkohr (Sonders is her "stage name")? Yeah, I doubt it. People tune-in to watch golf.

I love Joe Buck for the MLB & NFL, but I'm really missing Johnny Miller & the gang. They fire Greg Norman (who has played & was competitive in nearly all the majors he played in during his prime) which gave them a little credibility.

 

To me FOX has really struggled to adapt to calling these events. Maybe they should pick up some additional tournaments so the team can work better.

Between the cameras constantly losing site of the ball & the poor cohesiveness between the color commentators, this is slightly frustrating to loyal golf fans who appreciated so much what NBC had done with the US Open prior.

THANK GOD FOR HOLLY SONDERS!

more wide angle shots in the studio would be good. I'd rather listen to 3 guys in bar than Faldo, Feherty, and McCord. Mute.

Yeah man, there is a ton to hate about her, as she played collegiate golf at Michigan State earning conference honors as a player, excelling there. Then she actually took advantage of her degree in journalism combining good looks, personality, & education to get into TV.

She also is largely into fitness & takes pride in fashion, though I agree there has been some work done. But hell, they put makeup on the men for TV, so Holly adding a little plastic & silicone shouldn't be considered a surprise or stretch in the industry.

Now I get it, she may not be for everybody, but let's not act as if she's some sort of totally disqualified spokesperson who the players disrespect.

She is kind of polarizing, as a recent study by golf digest had her as the 3rd most favorite interviewer & the 4th least favorite.

I'm sticking to my guns, whereas if this is what FOX is offering, bring me MORE GOLF & MORE HOLLY!

GOOD DAY ALL, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, & HAPPY US OPEN SUNDAY!

Watching OPEN right now. Clark and Zinger doing an OK job. A bit bland but not horrible.

At least no "human interest" garbage that give me a bathroom break.

Terrible! With this course looking like a European course, the cloudy rainy weather, and the boring monotone broadcasters with joe I feel like I'm watching fall golf. And for some reason they can't drown out the dang airplane noise that's non stop

... You are not alone. I don't have a problem with Holly per se, as I enjoyed her Playing With The Pro's show. She is just being very poorly used by Fox. But of course there is nothing new about that.
