Nick Faldo has nothing to say and he says it poorly, with an irritating accent. Nick was some network exec's idea to replace Lanny Wadkins who just wanted to take off a few extra weeks a year to play the Senior Tour. Lanny wasn't very good at first, either, but at least he went to announcer school to learn how to talk.
Falso's just another in a long sorry history of good golfers who are incompetent speakers and shouldn't be on TV. Remember Ben Crenshaw? Or Ken Venturi? Or the excruciating Peter Allis, so in love with his own voice, and so inept at using it to say anything worth hearing.
Faldo is "bloody awful". Somebody tell him, please "so, uh" doesn't end a sentence...
I like televised golf, but more and more I find the only way to bear it is to hit the mute button. Contrast that with baseball, a game best listened to on the radio, where you aren't confronted with the sight of grown men spitting so much, or constantly adjusting their jock straps, or patting each other on the rear end all the time. Are they all gay? Maybe it's the steroids.
