Loving the match play, but ….

Think Paul McGinley seems like a top bloke, but I find his constant comments inane.
I’m sure commentating on any sport is very difficult, but knowing when to say nothing is as important as saying something.
The main commentator is usually very good, so ex-golfers don’t need to ramble on endlessly.
I’m sure plenty love him, he just grates on me sometimes.

I think Sky are stalking me. Every time I put the golf on he appears.

Quite frankly he is awful, and makes David Croft look competent.

McGinley is to golf what David Gower is to cricket. Neither know when to shut up, and clearly haven’t grasped the idea that, sometimes, less is more.

Can’t abide either of them.

Couldn’t agree more. He is the worst of the pundits.

Great to see Jason Day showing some of his old form

McGinley is very gifted........











At stating the bleeding obvious.

If only he was. Between him and Dame Laura they get an awful lot wrong.

It’s Ewan Murray’s constant dithering that gets me.

Need more like Nick Doherty.

Why did rory have to hit first with xander 200 odd yards away there?

Missed the explanation.

Because Xander's original ball is closer to the hole than Rory, and I think his next shot isn't in play until he drops the ball, as he could play the original as it lies, although in this situation unlikely

Right. Odd one alright since it's 10 feet deep. Haha

Rule 6.4d explains it, new to me.

My take on rule 6.4D is , even if Xander has already elected to drop and dropped in a dropping area, Rory still has to play first, happy to be corrected

This is a great watch!!

I didn’t think the Rory match was going to end

I actually like EM’s commentary. I find his voice very calming. Like I’d want from my dentist when he’s explaining the root canal work he’s about to undertake.

In match play players are now allowed to play out of turn by agreement (on a shot by shot basis).
