Here's the one, and only, time I'd like to hear Johnny Miller...pompous as he is I wonder if he'll give credit where it's due.

At least I won't have to hear his name that often in the US Open coverage.

And there's this as well...

Suggestions.... My home golf shirt (Horse Creek in Dora AL)

and my away.....anywhere else (usually Cross Creek in Cullman or Point Mallard in Decatur)

And Justin left an easy eagle out there. The USGA has got to be wetting their pants with the way their big bad US open course is playing. They expect more rain tonight, so it may well play as it did today. If I'm Justin, I'm washing those hot pink pants and pulling an encore presentation. Roll Tide!!!

That was a hell of a shot on 18—one that any other day of the week would be the highlight of not only a round, but a weekend.

It wasn't his best of the day in my eyes; it was the putt on number five. I've hit a few of these in my lifetime. The one that was probably the closest wasn't on one of the courses in my area, but at Hidden Meadows outside of Northport. I used to have a hell of a lot of fun from the tees on the driving range and pitching backwards towards the practice putting green.

Reading the greens, defined.

The money round is here and I'm predicting that the twenty-something crowd is gonna be tighter than spandex on a 350-pound woman. Getting mind and body to dance the same step will make for some interesting golf. I'm hoping that Justin Thomas can bring it home. Roll Tide!!!!!

I've read and heard people bitch about Joe Buck for years now. I don't run across him very often. When I turned the coverage on a few minutes ago it didn't take a second for me to think "calling golf isn't in your wheelhouse."

Buck says there's two groups, one that likes to see professionals make mistakes and having a hard time playing a course (as in their enjoyment comes from seeing mistakes?) and another who love seeing professional play really well.

He missed a BIG point in all of this. When these guys are playing in conditions like this, and they shoot a score of par or maybe a little worse, that's the epitome of professionals playing really well.

Yep. Some simply stop thinking. There was a shot a second ago of a player trying to play a draw off the box, the wind caught it and took the ball in the second cut off the right. Buck immediately goes back to playing conditions. My first thought was "why are you playing the ball that high with the wind like it is?" Hell, sacrifice 25-30 yards, toe that club down, play it low and let it roll.

Buck has promised to quit calling baseball games soon. I guess he gets the call for the Open because Fox doesn't dip their toe in the golf water that often. But Buck is overexposed and his face time far exceeds his abilities. Just to put all the big events on the shoulders of one guy doesn't say much about who's waiting in the bullpen. I don't necessarily dislike Jim Nance, he's extremely versatile, but why must he call every event on CBS's schedule?
