Telecast Notes

Note to NBC: great idea to cut away from the event as the excitement was peaking just for that silly pre-sold "sports update" and the Annika interview to plug next week's Women's Open.

Note to David Fay: the pink shirt and bow tie for the requisite First Tee piece was a big no-no, at least on my red-amped signal that turned Tiger's ugly shirt a glowing shade of tangerine.

Note to Fred Ridley: nice job congratulating Walter Driver and his committee for not screwing up the setup, oh and "the staff" too, whoever they are! Way to build morale. The staff guy who saved your rear is Mike Davis. Imagine if Meeks was on his own this week? I'd rather not. Note to NBC production: where were the bells and whistles? No crane shots, no bunker cams, nothing innovative that you are generally known for. What gives? Note to Pinehurst and Rees: what's with those wire grass nurseries down the sides of a few holes with the bad hair transplant planting schemes. Not exactly a rustic sandhills feel.
