My question to Player is 'are you accounting for the drought?'

Because it, imho, is the major factor.

The coverage is sooo bad. I am sick of the tracers on tee shots and then breaking to a long shot of the ball landing. Yesterday I saw Bubba tee off on a par 4 watched the tracer and then they broke away to a ball landing on the green HOWEVER it was a different HOLE, Bubba didn't come close to driving the green.

Reed needs to dodge the moving day woes of the morning players and pull through for me!

"Golf has a traditional audience ... who may not be as flexible on their viewing habits," Neal Pilson, former president of CBS Sports, told CNBC

Then there is Gary Players rant -

Despite the shoddy coverage, I think the tourney is going great and looking forward to today's play with four tied for the lead. I'm likely with the majority and pulling for the vertigo suffering Day to prevail. Also rather have the leaders at -4 rather than -20. Still enjoy the 370 yard drives.

David Duval's suit gave me vertigo.

What a **** US Open. Pure luck, plain and simple. It's been reduced to "hit and hope." I love having them have to fight for par (Merion in '13) was fantastic, but this course, under these conditions, is abysmal and not terribly exciting to watch.
Fox is awful. Why the f*ck was Charles Davis doing interviews? I mean, really? Joe Olglevie can't even look into the camera when talking (must be cuz he's a Duke alum) I think having those LPGA girls on is great, but come on...they have zero clue about how the men's game is played. The PGA and LPGA tours are not even a little bit closely related. Two different levels of golf being played. Anyway, at least there is Joe Buck, Greg Norman and that giant f*cking shark logo on every commentators shirt sleeve.
Mike Torico and Curtis Strange should just do all golf coverage, on every station, forever. Or at least until I die.
