How awful is the commentary from the Aussie and the American from the studio here in Oz?
Not the experience needed, Fox sports.

No use whinging on here, send them a tweet or jump on insta etc and give them a gob full.
Luke Elvy isn’t it, he’s a dope.
I’m not even watching it, so boring.
Watching the nba playoffs and sky thoroughbred preview instead!
You would prefer the master of banality Jim Nantz or that gibberer Paul Azinger........OK
I thing Luke's doing a good job, Ned Michaels has played on the European Tour, anything rather than the rah, rah, rah from the seppos.
I suppose it’s better than that dope Johnny Miller,
I’d rather have the on course mics turned up and no commentary at all.
Yep I’d go with that!
👍🏼
They aren't in a studio in Australia. It is the 'world feed' designed for non-US markets.
Luke Elvy has been in the US for some time, and often gets a start in events covered by Golf Channel. He was doing a featured group channel on the Masters.
I didn't mind the commentary though. We all have different tastes, and there is always the option of the mute button.

I like Luke’s commentary. Seems to have a very in-depth knowledge of stats and alike.
I haaaaattteee Radar and don’t think he’s a good human being…
Golf is, in part, a game; but only in part. It is also in part a religion, a fever, a vice, a mirage, a frenzy, a fear, an abscess, a joy, a thrill, a pest, a disease, an uplift, a brooding, a melancholy, a dream of yesterday and a hope for tomorrow. - New York Tribune, 1916.
I'm pretty sure I heard Elvy refer to players having to "really golf their way" around a set of holes at one tournament.
Elvy is embarrassing. Once said Greg Chalmers nickname was Snake because he holes long putts. Fair dinkum.

I dont mind him so much except that i like playing golf on the xbox and he does the commentary there too, and its just too much.
Interesting though the US open commentary keeps switching back and forth between Elvy and the Americans. Seems to be too often for it to be the USA ad breaks
Elvey is beyond awful.

Turns out there were 52 commercial breaks over the final 8 hours of coverage during Rd 1 of the US Open on NBC in the US.If you average the breaks out at 3.5 minutes each it equates to 3 hours of air-time to be filled by the USGA world feed.
Thank goodness for @foxtel in Oz.
