MaxEntropy Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I actually like Fox's broadcasts a lot. They show more golf shots than anyone else and use more tech to help you track/see the ball better. Buck isn't my favorite but he isn't that bad either. I don't get everyone's hate for him. He's a very good player himself btw. Azinger, Strange, Faxon and Shane Bacon are some of my favorite announcers/commenters. My biggest thing with Fox is that they show more actual golf than NBC and especially CBS. I could care less what narrative Nance is trying to push lol I agree with most of the statements about Fox's coverage, but place me firmly in the camp that wants Joe Buck far away from the course. He made so many gaffes last year, mostly mixing up names with pros from sports he covers more regularly, include calling Kyle Stanley Kyle Schwarber - he clearly has a man-crush on that dude.

Oh I understand that! The girlfriend thing really got to him is why he brought it up. Most of the time when he's talking about people or giving little back stories or pieces of info, it's given to him on a card by somebody behind the scenes. Apparently in previous years they used somebody from another network to get this info. So wasn't even somebody from Fox feeding him info. And it was that person's error. Getting stuff like that wrong bugs him to death is why he made sure to correct it. From what I understand, Buck is a massive perfectionist and OCD. As for the Faxon thing, Faxon was the one who corrected him on Koepka's GF's name on air last year. So I'm sure he finds it hilarious that Buck wanted to get it right this time. Buck/Fox know that he usually doesn't do golf and that's why they are trying to simplify things and use Faxon, Zinger, Strange and Bacon as much as possible. Because those guys are used to covering golf. Buck just tries to keep everything running. At least he understands that less is generally more from announcers with golf coverage. Which to me, is better than Faldo talking over the players and caddies having a conversation about an important shot or something. That stuff drives me up a wall.

I think they are a mix of bent and poa. The poa is prolly creeping up as it gets later in the day and makes the ball bounce or not roll as well.
