NBC golf coverage US Open. TOO much talk not enough golf coverage!
Just watched Payne Stewart tribute on NBC … I am one of a few thousand to see him win the Miller High Life QCO and then the next year watch the Shark, Bob Tway, and Payne play a round in the QCA with all three decked out in knickers .. I will never forget the experience.
