If people don't like Oakmont, turn over and watch the final of the Ladies Amateur Championship.
Great golf being played and Nairn looks gorgeous.

Quite a common feature at many courses around the world. There’s 3 greens at my course where about a third of the putting surface doesn’t hold the ball if rolling back.

The super thick rough just off the fairways and greens is the only thing I don’t like. Usually they have graduated rough so the penalty for missing a fairway by a yard is not extreme. Don’t know why they haven’t done that this year.
I’m guessing that on Monday morning the green keepers will be out cutting back the rough to make the course playable for mere mortals. I’d love to play the course after the haircut.

Adam Scott’s swing is always a thing of near perfection but it did seem somehow even more beautiful yesterday. Hoping he can do the business today.

I’d like to see Hovland win it,but would also be happy if Scott won it.

He looks a bit too ragged for me.

Sky Sports golf commentary is still much better than several football commentators. Matterface and Drury are both absolutely awful - they make McGinley sound like an oracle.

Not sure what’s going on with Rory,but he really is acting like a petulant child.

I am just highlighting that if you think McGinley is bad, then I would suggest sitting down and listening to Matterface and Dixon. Bonus mention - Marlon King.
And that doesn't even go into the likes of Agbonglahor, O'Hara, etc on TalkSport...
My point is that golf has OK coverage. Better than football, imo. Not as good as cricket though, which is mostly superb.

‘Liked’ for the bit about cricket. IMO it’s always had good people talking about it, on TV/Radio broadcasts…perhaps less so now than before, but still very good
For golf I used to like Alex Hay and Peter Aliss tbh

Nick Dougherty is good.
Laura Davies is awful imo.

Cricket: Atherton is one of the best and most thoughtful sports journalists (written or spoken) on the planet. Plenty of other good ones and obviously a long history of great radio broadcasters too from Brian Johnston to CMJ; FFS, even SomersetCCC’s shoestring budget live stream has Vic Marks and Peter Trego who are very different but both good!
Obviously the pace of the game lends itself to that, but so does golf, so no reason their commentary can’t be as good. I actually quite like Nick Dougherty and David Howell - both self effacing enough to be likeable. The other end of that ego spectrum would be Nick Faldo; I mean I know he was genuinely very good but….

I don't watch much of any sport on tv. I check results at times to see some results. Gotta admit I'm hoping Hatton can put a crazy round together just because so many people don't like his "attitude".
