Anyone else not impressed with the Masters coverage?

[Mr_T]

Way too much studio stuff imo, I know Jack was only in the studio for a bit so they needed to get some interview stuff in but now they're just analysing the course, with the occasional shot being shown and then analysed for another 5 minutes Hopefully the BBC coverage on the weekend will be better

why do people continually think it is the UK broadcaters choosing not to show the golf - they can only show what golf they are allowed to from the US feed from Augusta - if it was on the Beeb (it wouldnt start for another hour) and you'd see no more actual golf

 

[BTatHome]

They explained that quite a few times. The main coverage is only starting at 8pm .... Just like every year.

Been watching on the red button service, golf coverage, no chit-chat :thup:

Is the correct answer this year as it was last and the year before that and the ........

Which is fine, but golf started at 12.30. Unless people complain to sky, the uspga what ever, it will never improve. The waste management open has way better coverage, and this is supposed to be a major.

When Wimbledon is on, you get more than a couple of hours coverage.

Murph, its Augusta who limit the amount of coverage

It has feck all to do with any of these companies....please do not continue with ignorance to who controls what is shown.

Try the Augusta National Golf Club themselves.

 

[USER1999]

Fine, then some one needs to put pressure on them to change. Loss of major status would do it.

 

[USER1999]

Majors are golfs showcase events.

Can you imagine seeing half a champions league final?

 

[Mattyboy]

Yep - its thier comp and they limit TV coverage on the first two days to something like 3 hours per day.:mmm:

 

[Mr_T]

This is the first masters ive ever watched so never realised it started at 8, I assumed given that play actually started quite a while ago that it would mostly be proper golf not studio stuff

No worries. Its all part of the 'mystique'.

Why would you enjoy that? He's been through a tough time, puts a half decent round together, and then it oes pear haped. He seems like a nice guy, he's not the one I'd wish it on.

I think its enjoyable for the fact you see people including ourselves have this happen to us so to see it happen in a professional its nice to see for your own benefit that the pros do it to so it aint so bad.

Yep,playing like a tit for a while now but still managing to get into the top events,travel the world and stay in 5 star accommodation and treated like a lord.

My heart bleeds.
