| I like Gumbel I was surprized he is a pretty good golfer and seems
to know what he is talking about

| Jim Nance replaced Brent last year at the Master's and I believe has
the position as primary announcer of the Master's. A good move on
CBS's part - Jim is good, knows the game and loves the Master's.

| 909.3 | Scully for Dogcatcher | ASABET::VARLEY | | Wed Apr 04 1990 14:25 | 4 |
| I like Gumbel and johnny Miller (and Gary McCord). I ABSOLUTELY DETEST
Vin Scully, who knows nothing about golf, talks endlessly and tries to
be "quotable" every time he opens his yap! Nantz was a good player at
U. of Houston and is more than adequate as an announcer.

| Vin Scully - The absolute worst. I'm sure he graduated Broadcast School
at the bottom of his class....
|
| 909.9 | No worse than next to last in his class... | HKFINN::F_MCGOWAN | Zoot who? | Wed Apr 25 1990 16:46 | 16 |
| -1: Nah, he had to have been ahead of Chris Schenkel! But then,
I've never heard Schenkel do golf (a blessing, I'm sure). I'm not
sure why there's so much antipathy for Bryant Gumbel; probably has
to do with his perceived arrogance (the infamous Willard Scott memo
for instance). I don't find him markedly better or worse than any
of the other commentators (with the exception of Gary McCord, who
consistently cracks me up with comments like "grow hair, ball,"
"full flaps," etc). And Johnny Miller's been a breath of fresh air,
too. The most overwrought of the bunch has to be Ben Wright, who's
always nattering on about someone's "tragic" bogey or "fatal"
misclubbing, etc. You'd think he was talking about world peace!
And what value Ken Venturi's commentary adds is not apparent to me,
either. Oh, well, one man's meat and so forth.

The best golf announcer of all time was Henry Longhurst. It wasn't
what he said, but what he didn't say. If the leader hit the ball
into a pond to drop out of the lead he would say something like,
"There you have it" and shut up!

| 909.11 | Gumble getting better, perhaps? | DSSDEV::ARMSTRONG | | Thu Apr 26 1990 18:10 | 4 |
| I didn't much care for Gumbel either, but the guy is growing
on me.

| 909.13 | No-Brainers | DICKNS::F_MCGOWAN | Zoot who? | Wed May 02 1990 10:06 | 13 |
| Musburger was credited by Golf World magazine with the second dumbest
question ever asked by a golf reporter (at the Masters): It happened
the year Nicklaus had to withdraw because of back spasms.
Brent's question was, "Gee, Jack, couldn't you have asked for a
later tee time?"
The all-time worst question was asked following the par-3 tournament,
the winner of which had scored consecutive holes-in-one: "So tell
me, when was the last time you made back to back aces?" The person
who asked this has long been forgotten.

| 909.14 | Lampley dismissed please!! | DPDMAI::VENEZIO | Perfect Practice Makes Perfect | Mon Mar 15 1993 15:37 | 17 |
| NBC did it again, they came up with another "talk too much" announcer
IMHO.
Jim Lampley is another inna long line of Golf announcers for NBC that
don't make it. He wouldn't shut up all weekend. Even made predictions
on the outcome of a puttt while the ball was in route.
Johnny Miller deserves better. He one of the best and keeps getting
stuck with these dwebes.
BTW, where is Musberger? Has anyone seen or heard him? Is he doing Mud
wrestling or tractor pulls? Maybe the WWF?
Lampley must go or learn the basics of golf broadcasting. This is not
boxing.
