DESCRIPTION:
Perhaps most importantly, Miller speaks his mind, especially about poor sportsmanship. There's more than observations, here, though. All rights reserved. . Open performance of all time was by Tiger Woods at Pebble Beach in 2000. In Miller's view, this incident is another example of how some of the unpleasant behavior of players in the NBA and NFL is now evident in golf. Open was also provided by Woods that year." Miller explains that Tiger Woods pulled off to the side after the second round and loudly cursed.

Nice Swing, Army Golf Jason M. Fedota Having grown up a young sports fan in the 70s in Napa it was inevitable that I become a fan of Johnny Miller. Johnny was a local resident and in my mind, the most exciting golfer during his time. Johnny wasn't subject to the king-like glorification applied to Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer and seemed to be much looser and free than Watson or Weiskopf. Much like many of the Bay Area sports stars of the day (think the Oakland Raiders) Johnny seemed accessible and open to his fans. Since then I have enjoyed list. "Nothing Personal" according to Bill Slocum. Johnny Miller is the one TV golf commentator not afraid to call it as he sees it, whether its journeymen golfers putting in the minimum work to stay on the PGA Tour, established stars who fall victim to "choking" or outside interests, and even a mentor like Jack Nicklaus being "too proud" to adjust his play during a British Open."I Call The Shots" starts with a memorable couplet demonstrating no cow is sacred: "The best U.S. Open performance of all time was by Tiger Woods at Pebble Beach in 2000.

Packed with the best and worst Johnny has seen in more than thirty years as a champion player and cherished announcer, I Call the Shots is a must-read for any golfer or fan of the game and is sure to be fuel for controversy and conversation on fairways, in locker rooms, and at nineteenth holes across the country.. In I Call the Shots he offers his no-holds-barred opinions, with trademark insight and wit, on all things golf: from the decline of playing etiquette to boorish fans; from legendary victories by the game’s greatest champions to monumental chokes that have destroyed careers; from the current state of the PGA Tour to the future of the game itself.
