Whether it be because he has published his book and wants to sell more of them or he just has those concepts on his mind more - It's been my perception that Bobby Clampett has changed his entire announcing approach over the last couple of weeks0. For me it's been a dramatic shift in announcing style.

I liked him a lot more as an announcer before he started that stuff in the last couple of weeks.

But that's just me. Only his boss's and the viewing audience will determine if he continues to announce with this "new" approach.

I just want to watch the golf tournament and not have someone input "their" "teaching" system- into my living room. Or better said, I wouldn't mind it if he was analyzing someones swing on the Bizhub with a complete anaylsis- but I don't care for a constant analysis in the telecast as part of the play by play! In other words, if it was football- I like to hear the announcer say "look it that halfback cut back and juke that linebacker - what a move!"- and not add or input some analysis of fully planting on the inside of the foot- with an on-plane hip slant, directly in line and opposed to the on plane motion................

I'd guess it won't continue- but that's only because if I was his boss it wouldn't continue- not during the play by play or color commentary. Did I miss something- did Faldo (I know could be the wrong network but you know what I mean) or someone else go bye bye and Clampett's new role is to analyze the swings besides what he was doing before- maybe this is part of a step up for him or grooming for a higher spot in the broadcasting booth.
