lichtie23 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 He should have been blackballed after his disgraceful Ryder Cup captaincy. How's the play been (and coverage)? Iv been working and only really seen the opening tee shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv been working and only really seen the opening tee shots Play as expected - good scoring on the front 9, much tougher on the back. Coverage is pretty good tbh, with the obvious exceptions of Poulter and Faldo on commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv been working and only really seen the opening tee shots Coverage seems poor typical sky who will only focus on the names you won't get coverage of the plucky unknown who you would get on BBC. Crowd seems small and silent , pricing issues have been well documented in recent years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Mickelson sees his birdie putt attempt for a record 62 horseshoe round the hole and lip out. Finishes on 8 under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Fantastic by Mickelson. Keegan Bradley is an odd one. Twitches endlessly, takes for ever to play and yet still manages to look rushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Those graphics of the players walking towards the camera are usually fine.....but this week they have them checking yard books, putting on gloves and adjusting hats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something comfy and nostalgiac about Allis whittering off into some shite about "big, strong, handsome lad x/y/z" or some other nonsense. Ken on the course is also good. Slightly underwhelmed by BBC's highlights package last night. They seemed determined to condense 12 hours play into 2 rather than focus on the, er, highlights. Looking at today's forecast in hope rather than expectation, a day of muddy paths and soggy sandwiches looks likely. By 3pm, 'er indoors will be wishing she'd stayed indoors.

As much as he's a f*cking welt, some of his insight is very interesting. Sadly, those bits are little nuggets in a stream of tedious shite. His one redeeming quality is that he isn't Faldo.
