BBC Coverage - USUAL COMPLAINT

  • Thread starter Thread starter Snelly
  • Start date Start date
The BBC is an easy soft target, they produce some amazing TV from documentaries to comedy shows. Obviously as a public service there has to be something for everyone.

I guess the moaners wont be happy until the license fee has gone and the only TV is crap US imports

Or until all you will hear every 10 minutes is Ray Winstone telling you that you can now bet in play on the number of blades of grass on the pitch, and remember to cash out.

I hope that they never find that duck again, but the rest of the coverage seems okay!

EDIT: Oh it's back!

Thing that made me laugh was that when Ken used the duck to find where the Swilcan burn flowed to, and when they then panned up having found the place he was only about 200 yards away from the Swilcan bridge. I was expecting him to be on the other side of Scotland or something.:D

Handy that the BBC have some naff segments to fill with. It was getting a bit dull watching people squeegee water off the course.

Breaking news small Burn next to ocean flows into ocean.
 
So been watching the golf for five minutes and straight away, we leave the golf coverage to watch Dan (absolutely no reason whatsoever why this bloke should be there by the way) ask a plethora of boring questions of ex-pro, Frank Nobilo.

I don't give a toss what Frank thinks about anything. I want to watch the golf. This isn't rocket science. Just show the players hitting the ball and save your chats with experts for the pub after the coverage has finished. I can work out what is going on myself without anyone dumbing it down. Same goes for just about every other viewer.


Idiots.

Probably just copying what Sky do all the time! Beeb golf coverage is infinitely better than Sky's because you don't get a commercial break every 5 minutes, usually featuring online betting companies! Also Ewen Murray's droning soft Scottish accent usually sends me to sleep. Peter Alliss every time for me! :)

Er, it's actually been a great summer on the east coast. Just typical that the weather has held off to this weekend.

Was in Fife for 10 days in late June and it was cold and fairly wet (I believe it was the coldest June for 43 years) and the weather in the last 7 days has been fairly mixed. But to not take a waterproof for an open is pretty silly IMO.
 
Probably because there wasn't any golf! :rolleyes:

"So Peter Alliss, what do you think is wrong with Tiger Woods?"
"Well I don't really know. He was good for so many years but he's not playing well any more."

Well thanks for that Sherlock. We might as well have asked the rubber duck for that level of in-depth analysis.
 
Putts don't seem to be dropping for early starters. I wonder if this will change for the afternoon folk. My it's interesting viewing. It's a valuable lesson in how conditions can effect your card no matter how good you are.

Ah - but was his mega lip-out (on the 7th?) a 360deg one or a 180deg one (or something in between)? It certainly came right back towards him!
