Dewsweeper, doesn't your T/V remote have an Aspect button ?
Yes it does but this is not an aspect problem.
When the lap top is connected to the tv, with Sky Go on all I get on the tv is my wallpaper with the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, on that is the Sky Go app.When I try to open it I get a miniature preview screen of the picture on my laptop with no maximise symbol.
Thanks for the efforts to help, this is a 1st World problem,will watch the golf today on the laptop.
Still looking forward to an exciting finale.

Bottom right of the window there will be a white box that looks like a screen

I've never been able to 'import' Sky Go from my iPad to TV, I understood there was something in the App or software preventing this. Same with BT Sport App.

There is a restriction in the App preventing the HDMI output for copyright/subscription reasons.

You might get "Mirrorcast" to work.

I always enjoy listening to Butch Harman, the man tells it like it is, no Corporate or Media waffle or glossing.
His analysis on the USA play is great- basically saying "they can't hit fairways from the tee nor when laying up, the PGA courses are all the same, bomb it 300+ yards, any direction as the rough is not penal and then a short iron wedge to the green. We (USA) could do with more courses set up the European way"

The Feltwwod / Molinari pairing is great to watch, playing fabulous golf and setting records - I know you can only beat what is put in front of you, but they have beaten Woods /Read twice and Woods / DeChambeau once, all out of form and neither of whom have given them a proper test. The win against Speith / Thomas was special though.

Seve was put out first aginst Tom Lehman (?) I think from memory. Might have been last Ryder Cup Seve played and he was completely out of form, and couldn't hit a fairway. Everyone was amazed he took the match to the last few holes. Captain knew he would lose to any of the US team, so losing to one of their top players was a bonus.

I remember when they played two singles in the day, Nicklaus got beaten by Brian Barnes in the morning, and then made sure he played Barnes in the afternoon. Sealed envelope must have come unstuck:eek: Barnes beat him again in the afternoon.(y)

I think you are being very disrespectful to the legend that is Seve. Seve had a charisma and a will to win that enabled him to beat anyone, even out of form he had that bit of magic and fighting spirit that more often than not rose to the surface and the swashbuckling syle came to the fore.

Seve was more than capable of producing not one but several moments of genius in one round. I'd suggest he was a calculated gamble not a sacrificial lamb which is extremely insulting (IMO) to suggest.

To say Woods is out of form is a bit lacking in context. He just won a tournament last week, at a canter, with pretty much all of the same players who are playing at Paris.

Also Woods has been unlucky to run into Moliwood 3 times, albeit it was pretty obvious by Saturday afternoon that they weren't going to be going out 1st or 2nd in the foursomes.

Likewise, Bryson, won 2 big events last month. I feel his problem was playing the penultimate FEC event when he was already guaranteed to be top FEc player going into East Lake. Has played far too much high tariff golf in the last month and experience will teach him that the week off he could have had would have been better for East Lale and Paris.

I just think ultimately this isn’t their set up. They are too used to getting away with inaccurate driving and basically making all their scores from 170 yards and in. Form is form, but this goes beyond form. It’s style of play, strategy and accuracy.

It wasn't Molinari that beat Woods Fleetwood contributed just as much.

Although Molinari did kick Woods butt down the stretch to claim his Open victory.

Success !
My better half is like a dog with a bone on techie problems.
She went into Settings, then Display, this gives an option to display 1 or 2, one will have your pc name under it, select the other one.
Thanks for all who replied, don't know if this will help Apple users.

No disrespect intended, but he was completely out of form. It was at a time when he completely lost his driving, and he didn't win another tournament after that Ryder Cup in 1995. He played in just three out of five matches, and won just one point, when he inspired David Gilford in the four balls. Sam Torrance and Constantino Rocca played all five matches in that Ryder Cup, and they were not exactly in Seve's class.

Seve was my favourite golfer from when I watched him come second in the Open in 1976 to Johnny Miller at Birkdale. I went to the 1988 Open at Lytham when he won there, but even his closest supporter didn't expect him to beat Lehman that day, and only his magical short game kept the score down to 4 and 3.
