Ricoh Women's British Open

[FairwayDodger]

Some good early scores this morning, headed by Lydia Ko -6 through 17 holes. Some shockers too - Karrie Webb +8 and Michelle Wie is +3.

I see this is on BBC2 later so will be interesting to see what sort of coverage they give it.

 

[Slab]

4 hours worth today and again tomorrow so definitely worth tuning in, thankfully there's an app for that channel too

 

[Tongo]

Is there going to be a thread moaning about the beeb's coverage?

 

[Hacker Khan]

Has Alliss said that a husband will be hoping the putt goes in so he can buy some new power tools yet?

Looking forward to seeing whos got the shortest skirt this week.

Good luck to all the British players.ne:

Can't they just go in with live pictures? The website tells me Lydia Ko is -6 & F yet here she is putting out on 17!

 

[Dan2501]

The women's caddys love getting in the way of the camera and standing directly behind the player!

 

[Dan2501]

Hate to see Ko practising the flippy Leadbetter release. He's going to ruin her swing.

What's the point of taking all the cameras, crews and Alliss and co. there just to show us pictures of golf that happened 1.1/2 hours ago? Is that going t be the format for the remaining days? Are we going to see the winner on Sunday, knowing that she is already having a shower before dinner?

 

[FairwayDodger]

Yeah, another BBC fail. I wasn't able to listen when they started - did they explain why they're showing it on delay?

They gave Bargain Hunt and Homes Under the Hammer preference over the last day of the Open... they don't seem to need to give an explanation!

I don't think so, but it's nice to know that Alliss is relaxing after his lunch while we're listening to his comments on the play.

I though the draw was rather odd. Some of the best players were out in the very early groups. Were they trying to get people down early and stay for the day?

And they only said that they were starting their coverage with some of the early groups no mention to actually live coverage. Strange then that with it being pre recorded that they still showed Trump arriving instead of showing actual golf. Waste of time really.

I think it's live now but it was really annoying earlier on.

Can't believe the BBC have that dinosaur Alliss commentating on this. I thought Maureen McGill was going to murder him after one sexist comment in particular earlier on.

 

[Pin-seeker]

It's certainly a different look.

 

[Dan2501]

Haha, was just about to post the exact same thing!

 

[Deleted member 15344]

So another thread complaining about BBC and their golf coverage instead of the actual golf

If people think it's that bad then don't watch it.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Haha, was just about to post the exact same thing!

Think she manages to pull it off.

My grandson got a ball and a nice smile from Ko this morning.
Decent weather for a change, it's been a miserable summer down here this year [so far].

 

[Pin-seeker]

Some pretty poor shots been played in the last hour or so.
