I fully appreciate that I may well be in the minority.........

I enjoy watching the USPGA as a nightcap, start sky plussing about 8 and then watch from about 10 zipping through the ads and 2ft putts when HID goes to bed with her Kindle. But pull rank on Masters and US open days to watch it live.
I enjoy the European tour as well on a cold saturday or sunday when they are playing in the sun (or avoiding the storms)
 
I find the European stuff very boring, it's a bit better in the bigger events when Rory/Westwood/Donald are playing, other than that I'd rather watch the yanks. European Seniors is definitely the worst to watch.
 
Weird alert, Delb will be in a tent on the beach. Although he could share with Fabian!

its easy winding up Fabian when he is on the other side of the world. He seems to have been to plenty of barbeques though.

Back to topic now, I enjoy watching most of the golf on tv, particularly when any of the Scots are doing well. Have a tendency to Sky plus it and watch it later, allowing me to flick through adverts and the more boring bits. Coverage is certainly way beyond what it used to be, so should we complain :confused:

Fed up seeing that muppets face enjoy himself in New Zealand the jammy get,some tent that would be the dress wearer from Edinboro and the Banjo playing Irishman the mind boggles.

Anyway back to the OP , i'll watch any golf thats on the telly to be honest ,there's certain PGA events i like watching Pebble Beach , Harbour Town and River Highlands in Hartford. To be honest i'm not a lover of the Spanish courses in a whole most look like goat tracks, i like watching the Dutch,Irish and Scottish Opens as well as the Sand Belt courses in OZ.

Don't mind some AM golf was at the Walker Cup in September and the golf played that weekend was superb.
 
I enjoy the European tour coverage more than the US but even then if its one and I can near the remote I'll watch it. A;ways good to see how it should be done. Can't get into watching the ladies except their majors and even then get bored watching Ho Ching Moo or any one of 36 similar Far Eastern golfers all with the same swing. Amateur golf I'm afraid is the only thing I cant stand watching in any shape or form
 
I do watch the Ryder Cup, The Masters and The Open, but your average every-weekend tournament just doesn't have the same appeal to me.

I totally agree with you. I couldn't care less about golf on tour really. They play too slowly to keep me engaged in the programme but I make an exception for the events listed above.
 
i think its good on sky knowing that there will be some golf on in the evenings from America through most of the year, but it isnt often great exiting golf with higher ranked players not playing in the lower key events. i also agree that too much time is spent on 2 foot puts being canned constently
 
Im just about to take the Sky shilling purely so I can watch some golf, because the time allotted to our wonderful sport from the BEEB is rubbish
2 days of the masters, The Open, Walker Cup, and midnight highlights of the Ryder cup dont do it justice.

So Im afraid that the OP is in need of help :-)

I can get very bored at times with things like watching players hole out from 2 foot like has been said already. But the thing that really bores me at times are when they play on those really long courses. What is the obsession with making courses longer? Yes it is nice to watch them hitting 3 irons stone dead now and again, it just shows us how inferior we are to them. But I just find it can be very boring watching tour players slogging it out hole after hole.

I really enjoyed the event from China a couple of months. It had a par 4 that you could cut across the out of bounds and go for the green on. But cut too much it would be out of bounds, take too much club it would go through into some really huge bunkers. That is what I want to watch, players making shots that we could never dream of doing.

The US Open I find very very tedious. I get no pleasure out of watching golfers struggling round a course like most of them do at the US Open. What do want to watch...... someone making a 59 or 79? I can go up my club watching players wracking up double and triple bogeys on tough holes, I do not want to watch it on TV.
 
I enjoy watching the golf on telly, mainly watch the us golf as either working or doing other things when euro golf is on. Sky go is great as can watch on laptop with volume down, sit with wife whilst she watches what she wants on friday and saturdays, sunday is sports day on telly and all majors the telly is booked for all 4 days.
