BBC Coverage - USUAL COMPLAINT

My complaint . . . . . I just heard some muppets from the usa yell 'mash potato' when Speith tee'd off. I hope someone nobbles them.
 
Coverage is terrible today. I've had to go on the web to see what has happened to lawrie and warren. You'd think two Brits in the penultimate group would get some air time.... Even if they are just ticking over with pars.

Two days in a row now I've paused or recorded the golf while doing other stuff. Then when I come to watch, I get that bloody Irvine woman telling me they're playing musical chairs with the channels again, and switch if you want the golf.
Happens with their other sports coverage too especially the tennis.

The BBC really haven't got a bloody clue.

Have you heard of a TV guide?

I don't think I've seen camera men lose the flight of the ball so often. Willet stiffed one and the camera was pointing at the other half off the green!!!

Wayne Grady also just mistook Willet for DJ.....
 
If you all have such an issue with non stop golf 11 hours on Thursday and Friday and 3 last night and going to be 9 hours today without any adverts then switch it over to something on Sky

That's going to be about over 40 hours of live golf ( when it finshes )- don't get that with any other golf tournament yet 6 pages of whinging

Do BBC need a shot centre or a bumbling Monty to stop people bleating ?
 
Yep, they should be showing more of 2 pro's parring it round, and less of the young Irish amateur who's tearing the course apart. Or Willet who's hanging on by his fingernails with pinpoint iron play. Or Ousty who's looking like a genuine contender again. Or Day who's putting himself right in position for another tilt at a major. Or Scott who's lurking a couple of shots back and looking dangerous.

I don't understand why more ProTracer isn't being shown
They have it on several Tees but they don't show the trace of every shot played from that tee.....
Just saw Willett's tee shot on the 4th - no trace but DJ's shot did have it...?
Confused.....
Surely if you have this tech available you should be using it as much as you can..?

Yes more pro tracer please. It was great as they have it on 17 and it made my explanation about the hotel and line off the tee a lot easier for Mrs pk
 
I can't believe the BBC has not got some kind of magic TV device that allows them to please every moaning keyboard warrier on a golf forum by showing 18 different golfers all at different parts of the course at the same time. I'm going to write to the Daily Mail to complain.

I agree* and intend to write to this **august organ of all things fair and even-handed to complain myself.

The BBC and its directors should be ***horsewhipped on the Town Hall steps for polluting the airwaves and wider media with their subversive filth.




*I could not disagree more.
** It is not even fit for wrapping fish & chips
*** They should not be under any circumstances as they help run a superb national and international service.

Lots of big stories out there today. The two scots in the penultimate group was one off them. Both started well, got under par and then vanished from our screens. I'm not saying we should have seen their every shot but we absolutely should have seen them every so often. I shouldnt have had to go online just to find out what their scores were.

They disappeared when Paul Dunne started putting a score together. They still showed a fair amount of Paul Lawrie, especially at the end of the round. For the last few hours they concentrated the coverage on the players in the top 5/6. Neither Lawrie nor Warren were making a move, so they didn't get shown as much.

Theyre damned if they do and damned if they don't. If they concentrated the majority of the coverage on the British players, they'd have been roundly criticised. It feels as though they can't win with some on this forum.
