I agree when J. Miller comments it is usually in the negative!

Though at times a little vain, Johnny's comments have always interested me. He often predicts exactly what is going to happen on a putt or chip or shot. He is uncannily tuned in to a lot of nuances of pro golf. And no one could hit more laserlike iron shots than he did in his prime. He is bold, but I ,personally, find him a refreshing change from the pablum(sp?) that unfortunately exists in much of golf broadcasting.

I think Johnny Miller is a great broadcaster. He tells it like he thinks it is whether anyone else likes it or not. His interview on Feherty's tv show gave me insight into how he is and why he is that way. He may not always be right or politically correct, but he is himself.

Like - adds to the show. I don't think he's full of himself either- just telling it like he sees it

I understand where he is coming from at times. He does raise the ire of many a player and a fan and being human, he can be wrong, as in this case. I also enjoy the commentary of Gary and David on CBS. I just think that you cannot take all they say seriously, after all it is television.

Dislike as announcer but thought he was good player

I think he is the best. Just calls it as he believes it and adds a lot in insight.

Keep the votes coming. Liking Johnny is in the lead right now. Thanks for giving me insight into why you like Johnny.

I think Johnny is one of the best announcers on TV. I think he tells it like it is and that is refreshing to hear. I know he rubs some pros the wrong way, but in my opinion he is good for golf broadcasting which is good for golf in general. The pros are too thin skinned if they can't take that kind of assessment. He has been there and understands how nerves play a factor. Just look at the added pressure of the Ryder Cup matches and how players respond. Some do well and others crumble. It is often nerves even at the pro level. He is pro enough to recognize that. I give Johnnie a big thumbs up

There is a trend (in all sports) that only ex-players can truly describe exactly what a current player is feeling or thinking. The very best commentators have a unique knack of describing what is happening and what the outcome should be without being super critical or overly praiseworthy. Johnny Miller and Nick Faldo, seem to me, to portray a negative feel towards current players and David Feherty and Ian Baker Finch seem more positive about players. All I want is an honest assessment of how a player executed a shot and did he execute the right play for the situation.

He was a good PGA player, but I don't think he adds much to the coverage by NBC. And I think CBS is superior when it comes to golf. That's one of the reasons they still cover the Masters after all these years!

he's forthright about his opinion and you can take it or leave it. It's refreshing!!

Its about time somebody with intelligence make comment about Johny Miller. He is the reason I don't watch PGA event broadcast by NBC. I almost never miss PGA event but NBC's broadcasted PGA event. Awhile ago I read article in Golf digest, which Miller said he doesn't understand why during Master event he was not asked to be a commentator since he won several award for sport journalism. That tells me he doen't know who he is.

John tells it like he sees it! Its just his opinion. Great for golf and if you disagree its fine, but its free speech in the U 
 
SA.

I like Johnny Miller and he was a wonderful player. He is not my favorite announcer as I feel he makes it a point to be critical too often and now it is his reputation to be that way. I find it interesting how ofter he needs Roger M. to confirm his points and opinions ("right rog"). I'll admit I may be looking for it but sometimes Roger even seems put out by having to confirm Johnny's points constantly.

I have always liked Johnny Miller and have attended a clinic that he put on. He uses drills similar to your 2 ball line drill, using your head during a round and playung the percentage shots. I would rather listen to him, than bland hero worship by announcers

Whwn PGA player mis hit, Johny miller's comment is always negative, does everybody think that players mis hit was intentional?, In given condition and players make decision to excute the shot, Miller is sitting inside of studio with cool airconditioned room,watching TV screen make such negative comment is very unprofessional,at his age, he is not even play in the senior PGA,but he still makeing l;ots of money(I think), while these young players struggle day to day and week after week, finish sunday,they have travel to next tournament side by next Tuesday is easy? Have a some passion to young plyers who are working hard

I like Johnny Miller.

I like Johnny.

I like to listen to Johnny for the entertainment value and he was probably the best iron player ever, but I would agree Charlie that he puts way too much emphasis on how nerves are allegedly affecting the player. He wrote in his book 'I call the shots' that he has some special gift for identifying choking. I don't buy it. I think he looks for it and if all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail.  
 
 
 
Sunday of the 2010 U.S. Open involved GMac shooting over par and hanging on to win by a few. DJ's game fell apart but I wouldn't say he choked. He made some poor choices and has a swing prone to pushes and hooks and his timing was off. Choking is but one type of mental flap that could occur during a round. It should not be used to describe any instance of a player not hitting his absolute best shot at that moment. In general, golf media fails to account for the role of fortune during a round of golf. i.e. Random chance, luck, the rub of the green. Only on a links setup do you start to hear the announcers recognize the role of wind, rain, temperature, bounces, etc.

I like Johnny Miller as well.

TV Golf is big business,number of viewers are key stats for continuation, how long has Johnny been around for NBC? If he is so dislike, why has he not been replace because of the "many" boisterous complainers? These pros at big tournaments are cream of the cream players, not the would be pros, they do not normally miss shots even in not so good lies, because they hit hundred of thousands of balls in varied conditions throughout their carriers. Maybe Johnny should say, "its not normal for him", or "something must have distracted him", 
"lets give him a mulligan"....in a simple phrase, "Choked Factor" (because of the Pressured Circumstances,the player is human, even machine can "choke"), is better than a lot of flowery dressing. The normal usage of "choke" means the aberration from the norm in pressured conditions, a misstep, is is not? Are these pros(with psychological coaching), or are they just big kids who are so sensitive to some words that everyone must take note not to mention it to them, because they are the center of the universe. Pro Golf is as tough of an arena as there is, if the players game and mind is not refined enough they won't last. I like Jones, Hogan, Palmer, Nicklaus, Watson, these are the type of players I like to watch and read about; not the complainers. God help America Golf,(America too), bring back honesty and accountability. There is so much parallel between golf and life, a lot of fun learning to play it well. I have learned from Johnny commentaries on most occasions, but not all, I think he is interestingly entertaining and plays it pretty well. 
I think one needs to qualify Johnny's comments on most occasions and not take them out of context, does he need to put up an intro every time he speaks into the mic, "...this is just my opinion..."; I think those who don't like him are quite picky, and they certainly have that right. Johnny is human too, have his own bias, but he knows more about golf than most golf viewers.
