Their ‘full coverage’ just means analysis without showing any golf because ESPN owns the rights and they won’t start airing until 1:00 when all the showcase groups are finished playing. It’s all so stupid.

Ha! I found a stream that I’m casting onto my big screen. It’s better because no announcers. Just the sounds of golf.

I know how excited you all are.

The masters app/masters.com broadcast before ESPN started was great.

CBSsports.com has similar groups showing but had Michelle Wie commentating and she was horrendous.  Go search her name on Twitter, she was getting roasted.

Michelle is still obviously learning the ropes. 

Rory McIlroy hit what he thought was a bad shot and said "Oh [excrement]! Oh [excrement]! Oh [excrement]!" 

Apparently the networks aren't blanking this out on delayed feed because it came through. The experienced commentators quickly picked up on it and tried to talk over it. After the shot landed followed by a moment of silence, Michelle chimed in, "He thought it was going to be a bad shot as many times as he said [excrement]."

I can see Nick Faldo shaking his finger and saying "No, Michelle, we don't do that." I'm sure the production van had some words for her, as well.
