It's great to watch just for the fact that Faldo is a shit load over par

Fair enough. I`d rather have seen more of those who are more than a sideshow to the main event.

That plus the fact that he is a total c**t obviously.

I can jst imagine his reaction when he was a top player if he`d been paired with some old has-been.

I`m getting irritated by the extent of coverage of the total irrelevance that is Nick Faldo. :thumbsdown

The beebs coverage is pretty shit nowadays,today they basically showed f all of Lawrie because he isnt a home counties or top star favourite,much like they stayed with westwood a couple of years ago when he was collapsing and hardly showed micklesons charge which was superb

Walked the front 9 holes with the Bubba Watson, Poulter and Charl Schwartzel group then followed Spieth and Johnson from the 9th to the 18th. Saw a bit of Lawrie's round as well as he was in the group behind Spieth. St Andrews always seems to be a course where you make your score on the way out then hang on to it on the way in.

It really is a poor spectator course though, made worse by the amount of TV cameramen that surround the greens and block your view further.

do you have any money left? Best part of £200 for two folk to go with a parked car, before buying any food or merchandise, put me right off going

I fancied going on Saturday but it's far too pricey. Train ticket, £80 admission and then refreshments would be probably near £150.

A boy I go to the football with is going to hospitality there today. £600 a skull :blink:

Just seen a picture of one of the greens tbf it is a bit flooded.

I have got my ticket for Sunday, getting train up from Waverly which is £18 return so a would say you are looking at a £150 day and that isnt buying anything other than a bite to eat and a few bottles of water (maybe a pint or 3)

It certainly isn't cheap. Got the ticket as a birthday gift from my other half. Food and drink is expensive as well but if you take some in with you that saves a bit of cash.

I was there for 9 hours so when you think it's 9 hours of watching the best golfers in the world it isn't quite so bad. The £15 to park your car is ridiculous though.

Just glad I went yesterday and not today!

Spot on but it was funny to see Sir Nick duck hook like a club golfer. Dan Walker is terrible, worse than the boring commentators. I'm just relieved that Clare Balding is not presenting.

I think Andrew Cotter is the best the Beeb have. Insightful, respectful and amusing.
