Love Verne Lundquist and will be sorry to see him go. Now, can we get Jim Nantz to retire after he calls his next Masters?

But Jim Nantz is a tradition unlike any other.

 

[Bosco2]

He should refer to the "patrons" as "the crowd" and call super fast greens "bikini waxed" just to piss off the snobs at Augusta. He's probably too nice a guy to do that.

FIFY

I don't know if I've ever actually heard of a golf fan that has a big issue with Jim Nantz.

I guess if there was going to be one, I shouldn't be surprised that it's Art.

 

[Keyser Soze 16802]

Verne has always been great at calling golf

Football....not so much

Has nothing to do with golf. I know Nantz.

"Yes sir!"

 

[Ironman2]

It's time to bring Gary McCord and David Feherty back.

"Yes sir!"

“In your life have you seen anything like that!”

 

[Blair10]

Verne was great for college football. My favorite catch-phrase of Lundquist was ”How Do You Do” after a big play.

 

[LB99]

Verne is a class act. He will be missed.

 

[mfb5053]

It’s too bad he was paired with danielson for so long. He is insufferable.

 

[MtNittany]

Nance played for Dave Williams at Houston. Back then, that was like playing for Bear Bryant. He must've been a stick.

“In your life have you seen anything like that!”

IMHO, the closest all-time call to "Do you believe in miracles?" If it was a sport more popular, greater audience, than golf, it would be getting more recognition. Even at that, it was spontaneous whereas "miracles" was not. Again IMHO, the greatest golf shot of all time.

And call the azaleas flowers.

And what exactly does that have to do with how he broadcasts on the air?

 

[Bvillebaron]

It's time to bring Gary McCord and David Feherty back.

Agreed

McCord-yes. Feherty-not so much.

I wish, love hearing Feherty on the LIV broadcasts.
