Golf Juice

Did anyone watch this yesterday. What a car crash 30 minutes. For gods sake lose Jimmy Bullard. He's gobby, not funny and hogs the limelight. Spoony and the woman tried to hold it together. Crossfield looked terrified (noticed all his mates in the crowd) and it seemed to be thrown together with no idea of what was happening next

It could be a good format for opening it up to younger golfers and maybe trying to get a few more trying golf but too many more weeks of Bullard and I'll be launching a nine iron at the screen. Some potential but only 3/10 for me. The speed hole challenge saved it for me along with the Me and My Golf boys at Troon. More stuff like that please

I couldn't agree more,absolute rubbish.
I watched 15 mins and that was enough.Surely it isn't aimed at Golfers that actually play the game, there was nothing of any interest.
What are they doing next week... 9 hole celebrity speedgolf with a set of frying pans?

Ended up playing last night, was going to give a test watch with low expectations. Take it the message is don't bother?

With the way your handicap`s going, you`d probably leave it short.:ears::thup:

 

[ScienceBoy]

A golf show for people who are not ardent golfers?

Casual and young golfers might find it appealing.

Us more matured golfers don't sound like the target audience.

 

[snell]

Yeah lose Bullard and it might be alright.

Only managed to catch 15 minutes...it was strange to see Crossfield so timid!

 

[mikeb4]

it was cringe worthy and amateurish at best, thought the guest D Haye acted liked a kn*b as well ( dont tell him though)

for all the great golf coverage/shows sky do, this was truly awful, in theory it could be a good show with the correct presenters ie Di and Nick Dougherty perhaps

 

[virtuocity]

The idea behind the show is a good one. It's clearly meant to be a light-hearted golf show, however, what spoiled it was the absolutely shocking direction and editing.

Everything felt crammed in- each segment needed to breathe.

Having 'strong characters' like Bullard on it meant that everyone was talking over each other. Director should be telling him to shut up, and editor should be making things a bit more smooth.

On to David Haye. He was asked completely boring questions about boxing. It should have been one quick question, then 'how long have you been playing golf'. Then on to the challenge.

No wonder Mark Crossfield was quiet- he's not used to playing a bit-part.

Then, there seemed to be an oddly large amount of time devoted to advertising Sky's golf schedule.

Could be a decent show if they get a steady format going.

i switched it on watched about 30 seconds, thought WTF, and switched back over to what the wife was watching!!

 

[Pin-seeker]

I use to like Bullard but think he tries too hard to be funny & craves attention now.

 

[Pin-seeker]

And he looks like an old women 🙈

 

[BoadieBroadus]

i was watching it looking forward to the savaging that it was likely to get on here today. i hope it improves, as the idea of a lighthearted show about golf would appeal, but boy was that awful.

total contrast between the proper tv presenter, and "Spoons" and Bullard who were total amateurs.

i was hoping it would be good but it was dreadful. why they kept cutting to shots of about a dozen awkward looking audience members i don't know.

 

[rksquire]

This appears to have taken an enormous amount of time to make it to TV - was it not meant to launch last July?

It wasn't great, for a number of reasons. There seemed to be a filter applied to some segments? Why bring out Sophie Ward (who looked petrified!) to compete against David Haye when he was barely capable to hold the club! The timed challenge was okay, although the machines were pants - actually would have been funnier (and faster) if they just ran! Bullard just didn't really work - visually or verbally, might not be the right guy.

I think there is something workable there but it needs alot of work very quickly.

 

[User 105]

Shame. I was going to give it a watch as I quite like the idea of a more light hearted fun golf show.

Might have a look later and draw my own conclusion. But not holding my breath.

I know one of the guys who is part of it all - it started as a webcast and Facebook page and they have been looking to transfer it onto the screen. There have been a few delays and it looks like they are targeting the same people that enjoy the vlogs and the younger audience. It will be a work in progress as it continues and they will change as it goes along as the feedback arrives. Done right and it could be a very good thing to help bring younger people into the game.

 

[garyinderry]

I completely forgot about it.


Want to watch it now to see how badly it was put together.

 

[MendieGK]

it was awful, tried to cram too much in, why visit RSG just to do a 20sec uninformative story? It annoyed me so much.

David Haye was a poor choice, why not someone like Jamie Redknapp? Tim Henman etc? all good golfers.

Unless it picks up quickly it won't last very long imo.

Could be shorter than Chris Evans stint on Top Gear. While they may be targeting younger people and the You Tube viewers there's no excuse for that shambles and the production/direction was so bad and those people are as accountable as whoever hired Bullard

I think Bullard could be decent,he just needs to calm down a bit (can't see that happening tho).
He's like a kid that's had too much sugar.
