Anyone remember ever seeing better golf than we are right now?

Stenson Mickelson in The Open this year?

I think this is better.

Up to now, agreed, if it carries on over 18, without a doubt.
 
Said it before and I'll say it again, but get this in terrestrial TV and it will do wonders for participation. However great this is, it's only being seen by a very small percentage of sports fans, mostly people already into golf. Missed opportunity.

I agree but money talks and you can see how highly the BBC rates golf by the way it got out of the Open contract early. I do wonder why C4 or ITV couldn't pick it up but would they really be prepared to bid the amount Sky would throw at it when it's up for renewal

What would happen if there was a huge billboard on display advertising (saying) nearly 5 hour rounds and no internet?

Indeed - My Mrs is gripped - the golf - the excitement - the players - the racket - and she doesn't play golf - QED.

No they will never match Skys money. But someone should look at if relatively huge exposure to this is worth more in the long term to the game, than relatively short term financial gain. You could hype this up on terrestrial TV and get some very good viewing figures.

Is it being shown free-to-air across America and/or the rest of Europe..?
I don't know....maybe we're the only ones paying for it.....
