The Masters and CBS coverage is laughable.
- They pretend that the internet doesn't exist
- The early coverage on Paramount+ looked like it was captured on cell phones, bad quality
- Do they not have enough cameras/cellphones for regular coverage? The featured groups gets old after 2-3 minutes.
- Sam Bennett and Phil Mickelson (featured groups PGA vs. LIV politics) don't seem to exist
- Jim Nance is a cure for insomnia
- Per NOAA, August has had only half an inch of rain today. They seem poorly prepared
- Butler Cabin/Masters officials are stuck in some Pleasantville 1955 time capsule.
Ha this dude ripped Jim nantz, easily top 5 best sports voice and commentator of all time. Even if your other points had been valid, you'd lose everyone with that single insanely terrible take. And your other points were trash too as a bonus.

I guess you don't realize that the Golf Channel doesn't have their own equipment. They use the equipment of whichever network is also covering the tournament.
Also, my son-in-law is over the technical end of the telecasts as well as technology development for CBS Sports and has won three Emmy Awards for innovation at the Masters over the last few years, so not everybody agrees with you. But, I'll be sure and text him tonight and let him know that DueMu isn't satisfied, so tomorrow will be better I'm sure.
Great post.
I was wondering if someone else was going to address his ridiculous statement. Because as a former Golf Channel employee, what do I know about broadcasting golf on TV.
Honest question. Am I right in thinking all the LPGA coverage uses NBC Sports equipment since Golf Channel has been rolled into NBC Sports?
Correct. Or rented from 3rd parties.

Not getting into the other stuff but Jim nantz is awful. I can't stand him on anything. I honestly don't understand how anyone likes him unless they like listening to cheeseball lines he makes up the week before over and over again.

I don't care for nantz. Especially his cheesy one liner at the end of the tournament

I just learned something. If you're f'ing up at the masters, they punch your pass. Three punches and your thrown out. I had a friend who got his pass punched twice today!!! I'm thinking that thing needs framing and hung on the wall!!!

Least surprising news ever. He's already DFL and has about 30 holes to play? No chance.Spaceship said:

Story would have been better if they landed two punches on somebody's nose.whisperingbill said:Short version:whisperingbill said:

Friend is in line at the concession stand. Two guys start laughing when they post Sam's second bogey,and proceed to talk **** about him. My friend says something to him, like you don't know him so you shouldn't talk about him like that. One of the guys say's something else about Sam and Texas A&M, and that he can't wait to tell his friends how he got to see him fall apart in person at the Masters. My friend then tells him that he's going to get to add, "and then I got my ass whipped at the masters" to the story. ... Thats when he got two punches on his pass and told he was oh so close to being thrown out. Three punches and your out......Yes I have Friends at the masters like this.
I am disappointed to have to WD this morning due to reaggravating my plantar fasciitis. Thank you to the fans and to @TheMasters who have shown me so much love and support. Good luck to the players today!

Nantz doesn't bother me, he seems to genuinely love the sport he is covering and doesn't have an agenda. Him and Lundquist were two of my favorites.
