    sirromkcaj:
    Could someone please explain to the announcer that the term "Never up, Never in" means that you didn't hit the ball hard enough.....it makes me crazy that when the announcer says it, the put missed long!

    It doesn't bug me whatever he murmurs. What bugs me though is he suggests either a wrong club or a wrong shot type or a wrong scale every single time.

    I believe the announcer is using a bit of irony. You, the player hit it hard enough to make the hole and beyond. It’s giving you an excuse as to why your putt is long. You tried, but…Perhaps if he began with, “well, you know the old saying, never up, never in”

    But the term doesn't only mean "you didn't hit the ball hard enough". A putt that missed long could still be classed as "never up, never in" if the putt missed low. The putt was never high enough so it was never up.

    If it really annoys you, simply go to audio settings and slide the "commentary volume" all the way to the left.

    Actually someone should explain to him that the phrase has to do with putting not approach shots. I don't know how many times my punched 64 degree wedge almost went into the hole for an eagle and I got  "Never up /Never in".

    Before I turned the sound down, this used to piss me off too.

    Until I realized the announcer was making a mournful observation on the performance of his own reproductive organs.
