You have to respect that passion. Guy is doing what he was meant to do
It’s golf. Dude’s not working 7 10’s to keep the electricity on. “I had to carry a bag, then talk about golf.” I’d trade him.
Bones is so great as a commentator!! Can we replace Feherty now?
He is so good at bath caddying and commentator
Love it. Love having him back on the mic.

It’s two jobs yes, but those are two extremely cool jobs.
