Others have articulated criticism of Azinger and Strange far beyond my poor power to add or detract. On the off chance that decision makers from ESPN or the R & A value the opinion of the common man, however, I hereby offer my thoughts:
1) I like Mike Tirico. He does a good job of bringing an understated yet cheerful energy to the coverage, much like someone in your foursome who isn't particularly funny but always seems to be enjoying the round. He is self-effacing and far more articulate than many bigger-named announcers who seem smitten with their inflated sense of the Poetic.
2) Judy Rankin deserves more air time. She has an acute sense of the importance of staying out of the way of the golf and the golfers, recognizing that they are the show, not herself. Her only weakness is a reluctance to criticize, making her perhaps the anti-Johnny Miller in this regard. I also think she is blessed with more sensitivity and insight to the mental and emotional side of the game, an aspect about which others seem merely to speculate.
3) The camera work needs improvement. Perhaps this is the fault of a BBC feed or setup, but often I found myself lost when trying to locate the ball. Normally I think a camera tracks a ball to its resting place, then zooms in to show it clearly, and finally zooms out to place its position in the context of the hole or the green. Over the weekend at Lytham, I regularly saw the behind-the-player angle, followed by a mid-zoom crane shot which didn't easily pick up the ball as it landed, followed by a rapid zoom out. In these shots I couldn't figure out where the ball lay -- on the green or greenside or in a bunker -- before the camera zoomed out for a wide-angle. Even if a ball lands in a bunker and is out of sight of the camera, the shot should remain on the bunker for a moment (to fix the location in the viewer's eye) before zooming out.
4) Perhaps because I'm cursed with a small, decidedly LD television (very low def) I love the blue-streak trajectory tracker. I would love to see it on every replay. It's particularly helpful when comparing the two drives in a pairing, but it was equally fascinating, though sad, in allowing us to follow the flight of GMac's gut-wrenching yank into the gorse.
