Now, oh what a shot there from Neil Coles’. Ah, the old days. I remember the last open he did i think it was at troon, Stenson maybe the winner? Camera panned to Stensons mrs and he hit out with ‘shes delighted she’ll get a new kitchen’. Daft auld c**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) No sign of McGinley commentating which is a real plus. The last spell with the tedious kunt that is Faldo is grim though. Dougherty has his tongue firmly up Faldo's ring and all the while with no sense of irony Faldo is giving advice as to how Luke Donald might captain the Ryder Cup team.

doulikefish Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Must admit thought there was going to be a 63/64 today so this could be chaos over the weekend when the weather is meant to get up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just missed the Rolex hour. The first advert after it was, naturally, a Rolex advert. The smell of shite has just reached my nostrils all the way from Hoylake…. This isn’t just a timepiece. It’s the tradition, honour, sportsmanship. Built upon years of uncompromising waffle, bullshit, pish, pants. Sorry, but a timepiece is exactly what it is. End of. Does the same job as my fifteen year old, $60 hasn’t missed a beat Tommy Bahama watch purchased on holiday in (Mashed potato!) the USA. Fcuk Rolex.

pozbaird Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Watching Rory, Rahm & Rosie is like watching a midweek medal threeball at any of our common or garden courses… ‘Fore right! Fore right! Fore rightttt!’…… putts missed from a foot out. These three are guff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It get why they advertise during golf, it’s a wealthy demographic worldwide, but aside from anything else the narrative makes no fucking sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind Sir Nick. Yes he loves himself but I personally find him a decent listen. His knowledge of golf and all the courses is second to none. Quite enjoy when he's doing commentary. I appreciate though that when he talks about his major wins and how great he is, it will wind people up. Coltart is absolutely class. Does a brilliant job as lead commentator. He was a complete gentleman when he was a player as well - always giving away his stuff at end of a round and signing autographs. The only one I'm not overly keen on is Henni but she has improved. Speaking of gentleman, Rickie is top drawer. Last Thursday, me and mate went to Scottish open. As we were walking out past the autograph area, we seen Rickie signing autographs. Was a total fan boy and got a selfie with him. Great guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I just hear a Northern English accent shouting MUSHY PEAS as Rory hit his drive. UEFA need to issue a stadium ban here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iona is decent enough and I quite like inci Mehmet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotscraig was in tremendous condition, greens maybe a bit softer than I expected, but still fucking rapid.

Feel like Dame Laura often states the obvious with the odd nugget of decent commentating chucked in*. Iona and Inci are very decent and have improved. The likes of Beem and Dougherty have great insight. Stated before but Butch Harmon is a huge miss to the commentary team. *Mainly when I have no fucking idea if it's a straight putt or left to right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
