++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Iv got it on NBC golf channel but its just advertising iv not saw one bit of golf yet all their doing is talking about it and showing highlights This.Watching it on the golf channel and its an absolute farce. Despite many top players being on the course already, we're being treated to Speith, DJ and Charlie Hoffman (wearing headphones) on the putting green, followed by highlights of Woods hitting irons, then 4 minutes of ads advertising all sorts of golf related stuff.Absolute cactus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm giving up and not watching it, one of the best groups to go out Rory, speith, tiger so what do the golf channel do tell you about how they are doing rather than follow them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Good news! My streaky run of 3 good rounds, 1 bad round has ended! Bad news - it ended by following a bad one with one that almost made me want to chuck the game entirely, until I birdied the last. There's always one bit that makes you go back. Fucking golf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 This has been... OK? So far. Casting from my laptop to my TV and no issues with picture quality or lagging- albeit I don't know how far behind "live" we are. Not many adverts (think I've seen one Ladbrokes ad in the half hour I've been watching) compared to Sky, and seeing plenty of shots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Awful start for Russell Knox. 3 over after 3 holes. Ouch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Just started watching this on my tablet and the sound is tinny and the picture quality isn't great. Hopefully it improves, it could be my tablet or internet connection but it's never this bad when I watch Sky via my tablet. Not a fan of the TNT commentary either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I read that Sky were likely to go back in for the USPGA next season when it moves to it's new slot. I hope this is the case because nobody else seems prepared to make a decent go of it. A couple of roving reporters on-site and a guy doing voiceover coverage from the studio isn't really good enough in my mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Afaik it was nothing to do with money, the USPGA have made noises for a while about trying to reach more viewers. Going by the fact only 5.3k are watching it on Facebook at the moment, I don't think they can call it a success. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's the same reason they sold the rights to the BBC for a fraction of Sky's offer last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Anyone got a wee flutter on the golf? In the majors I usually go for 3 picks that are over 40/1 and as posted in the win counter I've been quite lucky with the last 2 majors (Eddie Pepperell and Tony Finau placing).Not a bad start this time with Patrick Cantlay, Webb Simpson and Kyle Stanley all at -2. Fingers crossed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to add the coverage has been good tonight.It was fine when I put it on about 9.45. Cast it from my phone to the TV no problem, picture not perfect by any means but definitely watchable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
