In the most recent episode of The Thing About Golf podcast, legendary commentator Jim Nantz shared what he “can’t stand” about golf.

“I opted not to do ‘em just because I didn’t feel like it. Same questions every week. The lack of creativity with questions is kinda boring. I know I’m not a media favorite either so it’s not like anyone will notice. LOL.”

After his first round at the U.S. Open, Brooks Koepka declined to have a traditional post-round interview. Instead, the five-time major champion opted to do a text message interview with Golf Channel/Golfweek’s Eamon Lynch.

“No, definitely not. It’s a major. I have enough self-motivation. I could think of way more creative questions than ‘Do you think the course is borderline? What happened on those bogeys? What went well?’ Then some LIV versus PGA Tour questions.”

After analyzing how far Bryson’s ball went in comparison with Horvat’s, who’s a fantastic golfer in his own right, they realized Horvat only hit his drive about 10 yards past DeChambeau.

In a year that’s given us plenty of varying opinions, the opinion that AimPoint is a negative for the professional game seems to be a consensus.

If you scroll to the right of the photo, the next post is the video that captures Koepka making the surprising statement.

“They go through this process [but] where’s the feel in it? I know they’re trying to win and trying to find a shot over the course of four days that can make the difference but, to me, if you’re playing a lot of golf and you’re standing over a 20-footer, it’s a cup outside the left, it’s the left edge, play it a cup and a half…
