Ryder Cup 2016 - Official Thread

[Deleted member 16999]

I am watching it free on NBC they also have "Playing Through Commercials" where the ad plays on one side of the screen and the golf coverage continues on the other half of the screen.

No excuses really for the Ryder Cup not being on network TV. If it can be in the United States, it can be in the UK, just greed and lack of vision preventing it combined with the fact Murdoch thinks the people of the UK are there to be exploited for media purposes...and they continue to prove him right with their wallets.

Remember, if you don't pay for Sky he has no audience and will not be able to sell advertising...

In 2015 NBC reported income of 28 Billion Dollars, ITV's was 1.5 Billion and Sky's 2.7 Billion, there is no way the UK can compete with US TV channels broadcasting to 4 times the UK population.

Dear American team,

Can you please stop holing implausibly long and difficult putts.

That is all and thanking you in advance for your attention.


Johnnydee.

DJ wasn't listening. We're getting out putted. No chance when they are making so many from so far.

 

[JohnnyDee]

Right I'm calling foul.

The Americans have obviously installed invisible tramlines on the lines of their putts. How else could DJ have rattled that in!

USA holing more important putts than Europe at the moment.

Three matches just turned. We're in the doldrums now and need an inspirational breeze to kick up or it's all gone.

 

[FairwayDodger]

Unfortunately we have a fair few players with putting woes....

A lot of putts been sunk from all over the place

Massive turn of momentum for the US

 

[craigstardis1976]

Think the tide has turned once and for all in favor of the USA. NBC are reporting some bad fan treatment of some of the Euro players and that fans have been ejected.

One has to ask has anyone publically questioned Darren Clarke about Westwood's inclusion?

 

[hovis]

call me sensitive but Ive always found it disrespectful to your playing partner when you scream and shout at a win of a hole. nothing wrong with being happy but the screaming and waving hands about grates on me a little

We do but where is going to come from? Not seeing too many heroes ready to stand up and be counted.

 

[sawtooth]

Wood is a cool customer!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Westwood in long putt shocker!!!!

 

[Imurg]

So are the Yanks better putters than us?
Are they more used to the greens
Or are they just lucky bleeders.....?

 

[PNWokingham]

we are losing the putting competition - but along comes Westwood!!

There'll be some buffoons that think it was a good pick! There's no excuse for stupidity when you've got a couple of decent VC's but Westwood is in it for the cash and the cash only.
