Golfers and TV Commentators - never comment on a golf shot until the ball has stopped rolling

Posted by under Golf Action, Golf Videos

Have you ever played with someone who says “great shot” as your ball heads towards the flag on the green only for the ball to drop short into a water hazard, enter a bunker or fly the green and you are up to your eyes in alligators? Very annoying isn’t it? In fact it is “joe” partner material!

Also have you ever sat and watched cable TV of the European Tour, Asian Tour, Ladies Tour or PGA Tour? Yet again, does it not p** you off listening to half the baloney we have to - such as the possibilty of golfer s who play golf for a living perhaps taking ten up the last to blow the tournament, all for more exciting viewing!?

When I see this video it reminds me of me sitting at home watching these grossly overpaid Golf TV Commentators and having Golf TV Coverage Rage at the sub-standard efforts to be funny , trying to advise viewers someone is hitting a 5 iron with an 8-9 iron length of shaft and lofted iron in their hand and their failure to just wait for the ball to have stopped rolling before they put their size 9 footjoys in it!  Oh, just be quiet, you are spoiling my viewing, springs to mind!

This video illustrates that if you hit a wayward drive and are thinking of the ‘risk and reward’ of either going for it, it can be a lot less painful to just chip out side ways and take your medicine! The Ed.
