Padraig Harrington

[fundy]

Think hes been a breath of fresh air in the commentary box, definitely a great addition (unlike some) to skys commentary team, hopefully we'll hear plenty from him tonight. Very knowledgeble and insightful and comes across really well.

 

[AmandaJR]

Agreed - which is more impressive as I find his voice ever so slightly irritating!

 

[Papas1982]

I agree in the main. But I fear that his constant snide digs towards Garcia could soon becoming as refreshing as Mcginleys love in with Rory.

I only have the BBC coverage but have heard bot the Harrington's a good addition to the Sky coverage and also about his 'history" with Sergio. What's that all about?

Why isn't he playing, I thought you got a 10 yr exemption for all majors after winning one.

I think he's been great, as have all the sky team. The coverage is excellent to. Especially like Doherty, Donaldson and Howell on the morning show. Even Rob Lee has been good , and he normally gets on my wick.

Agree with all of that,the Masters morning show as been very good.
Some good banter between the 3 of them.

I've just done 10 mins on Beeb 2. I had to turn over when Cotter commented that Garcia went for the pin on 2.

He should get Demoted to the Boat Race after that,

Big fan of Harrington (for well documented reasons) and he's definitely fitted in well. He did explain his issues with Sergio rather diplomatically last night in the Sky bit before the live 8.00 coverage.

 

[Dasit]

Sky have been far superior than BBC for coverage.

 

[shivas irons]

I'm gratefull Sky left Mark Roe at home,thankyou..

So what's the issue between them?

Or "The One Show"......they talk guff on there too.

No way his voice is soothing

 

[Orikoru]

Yeah I liked him. Knowledgeable and showed his experience without waffling on too much. I quite liked the softly-spoke Irish tongue too.

One thing he needs to work on though, when he was actually on camera talking in the studio he just stared at the floor while talking :mmm: - didn't exactly project confidence. I suppose that comes with more experience of doing TV though.

 

[Roops]

Thought Padraig was a great addition. Personally I would give Roe and Livingstone the boot, both awful. Roe is just depressing and Livingstone always looking to make some news out of nothing.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

I found Thomas Bjorn's delivery (on Sky) dreadfully monotonous. I watched Sat and Sunday on BBC.

5 yrs for the masters. hence why last year was effectively Darren Clarke's last masters and this one likely Ernie Els' final Masters

No-one missed Monty then?
