Mike sez: "How about his poor grammer? ..."

--------------------

You gotta love the irony of someone who can't spell grammar correcting Wadkins' linguistic prowess. LOL

How about his poor grammer? He always says.....he hit it "solid" when the correct adverb is "solidly". Why in the world hasn't he been corrected?

I'm glad to hear someone else has noticed Lanny's inane blathering.
This weekend he was calling poor shots "unforced errors"! Maybe he thinks it's basketball. Maybe the pros have started playing defense in golf. The only worse job I ever heard was Brent Mussmouth. And even he got better as he learned a little about the game.

Larry, did I touch a nerve? Are you a cable guy?
Why have a "pretty good" guy covering the Masters when there are excellent guys out there?

Kiel Christianson is an idiot. Lanny is pretty good and getting better. If Kiel wants to criticize, he should take notest like any good reporter. Better yet, let's put him on the 18th tower and see how he does.

Johnny Williams--

I know what Lanny the Commentary Guy *meant*, but it's not what he *said*. And when you're getting paid to do commentary, saying what you mean in a clear and pleasant manner is important.

David--

That's hysterical! I wish I could have heard that guy myself.

What about "Ball Striker"? How many times does he have to say Ball Striker? What about "Step Up"? How many times do we have to hear that? Doesn't anyone at CBS listen to this guy?

What's wrong with just a few "QUITE" moments at a golf tournament. Isn't that one reason we go play- to hear the birds see the changing scenery especially at The Masters.
What kills me are two things; one when someone hits a bad shot how they show what a bad swing it was, when if you framed it with video, you'll see only (if you can see anything) a different clubface position. And my second observation is how hard or critical these commentators are. Under PRESSURE the shots they hit are not as easy as they are day in and day out.
I'm glad I was THERE for two days
so I could experience the uneditorilized version!!!!
