TNT also covered the first 2 rounds and it was just fine, except for Bobby Clampett (an awful announcer IMHO).

... Sure there are a lot of commercials to pay for this thing. But if you didn't notice, there wasn't a single commercial break as Tiger came down the stretch.

We do this every single Major....
Except the Masters.

Funny you mention The Masters. You're right, on the whole it's an exceptional broadcast, especially with the incredible HD picture quality.

However, the announcers acting super-sophisticated all week starts to bug me by Sunday!

Yes.... sort of like they're in the presence of royalty or something. That's just one of my pet peeves about The Masters. The rest I'll keep to myself. I don't want to upset any of our Masters-loving "patrons" here.

LOL...yeah, that ("patrons") is one silly way to reference fans. Very weird and stupid IMHO. As far as I'm concerned, that term should just be ditched.
