Does anyone else find it very annoying the way Brian Hammons pronounces Camilo's last name????

haha... Through most of the coverage today I kept saying to myself... 'Why does he have to be leading this week?'

its pronounced Bee Jay gus

I thought the same thing last night when I was watching. Funny.

Who is Brian Hammons anyway? never heard of him before. Also heard he pronouce his first weird too....

How does he say it?

ComEELLO VejayGAHHHHS!

He was a sportscaster in Indianapolis about 25 years ago. That dude is older than you think.

lol!!!!!!!!! someone beat me to posting this thread....I was ready to throw a club through my big screen today every time he would say Camillo's last name!!! LOL it was absolutely drivin me nutz!

i was also gonna post something on this... its getting ridic. he thinks hes colombian by the way he says it... way annoying

HAHAHAHA i am watching the golchannel.com review.....LMAO

Not the best, but way better than Kelly Tilghman.

i knew this was going to be a thread lol.. it is quite annoying i must agree

I actually never thought anyone would post on this, so i was suprised to see it. I completely agree and it was driving me bonkers.
Not only does he pronounce it weird, but he puts in this odd pause between the sections....its kind of like the verbal equivalent of charles barkleys swing....

I pronounce it Ve-shay-gus. Or something like that. The double LL is between a J and a SH for me.

Cah-mee-lo Ve-shay-gus. Am I annoying?

Then again, I also say Hoo-sen. Since I swear I heard Retief's name pronounced that way when he was an unknown on TV broadcasts.

This may have been asked before. Where is Kelly Tilghman? Is she still on the air?

They are limiting her appearances this year on the golf telecasts but she still will be on the other programs there.

As far as Hammon's and his pronounciation, I wanted to smack him. Apparently, he's the only person on earth who believes this is the way to say that name correctly.

The correct way, from what I understand, is Ka mee lo Vee yay gas. He only has 1 L in his first name. From what I can remember from 3 years of Spanish class, one "L" is pronounced like an "L" in English. 2 "L's" in most cases is pronounced like a "Y". Also, the letter "I" has the sound of an "E", hence Camilo=Ka mee lo. I also had a guy in my high school class with the same last name. He pronounced it Villegas= Vee yay gas. Another rule of Spanish is that the letter "E" has the sound of an "A" or "ay".

There are different circumstances for different words, but that is how I would pronounce his name. The only way for us to REALLY know, would be to hear him say it. Although, he has an accent and would say it too fast for us to actually hear the entonacion of each syllable.

Hope this helps.

It drove me MAD INSANE!!! when he would start talking i would just turn the channel. All he needed to do was say Camilo half the time but NO!! he had to say his last name to!!
