golf coverage on tv

[clubchamp07]

Is anyone watching the british masters on tv at the moment? I think the coverage is awefull!!!! If you are like me you have interactive and we can watch the live stuff ( well nearly live) at 11am in the morning. Then the full coverage comes onto BBC2 at 2pm ish. And guess what? we have to sit through 2 hours of what we've already watched on interactive. I have send an email to the BBC complaing about this but as you all know I might as well P*** in the wind. Come on all you golf lovers send the BBC an email like I did and complain. We had to miss some of the golf today as Mighty Tim Henman was beating some unknown in the Davis cup. That just underlines my complaint. How many people in the UK play golf and how many people in the UK play tennis? Answers on a postcard please.....The address to send them to is Broadcasting House London. they all should get there. Before someone complains that this site isn't for me to advertize I'm not addvertizing I'm haveing a gripe about coverage on TV.

They seem to be more interested in what Poulter is wearing at his wedding than anything to do with the golf, get a grip BBC

do you think Peter Allis could name drop any more if he tried,or told us another story of old bob whatshisname who has been at the same course since nineteenoatcake and is a great friend of his...wonderfull gent!

The problem with someone like Peter Alliss is that they almost end up becoming a caricature of themselves. Richie Benaud in cricket went rather the same way.

I was watching the rugby on the other channel. Most mystifying - Scotland v the All Blacks, both teams had changed their strip because of a clash... but both were still wearing almost identical strips. Right mess of design they both were too - made the design of those shirts the US wore on the final day of the 1999 Ryder Cup seem almost tasteful.

i have to disagree with you all. as golf lovers i'm sure you have sky, or have seen golf on sky? compare the bbc coverage to the sky coverage and in my opinion there is only won winner. the breaks every minutes on sky ruin lazy saturday's watching golf! there's only so many cups of tea i can drink, 4 in an hour is not by any means good! the constant injury claim adverts can drive even the sanest man on the planet potty!

the commentary on bbc is twenty times better than sky, peter allis keeps even the two inch putts interesting, and 'ken on the course'. need i say more?

so what if the coverage is late because some tennis prat (henman) is trying to keep his career alive! it builds a the excitment! imagine sky got the cover the open? the certainly wouldnt show 8 hours a day of uninterupted golf for 4 days!
