Sky Sports Golf Commentary

[shivas irons]

Just returned to sky sports after a number of years away and good grief what has happened to the golf coverage.Ive been watching the Euro Tour Coverage and frankly cant they come up with a better commentary team? Youve got Robert Lee and Mark Roe who just havent got the patter required for the job they keep fumbling for words and are seriously dull.Euan Murray still does a good job but what happened to The Colonel? These guys are being paid a lot of money, surely Sky can come up with some better ex players to do the job......

There`s always Mrs Doubtfire

I like Rob Lee who I think has a dry sense of humour and good insight into the game.

Don't like Roe much though.

 

[Albanach]

Mark Roe is awful. Like the on course guys Riley, boxall, barter. Murray is excellent IMO

 

[Robobum]

I like them, set the right tone and add to the coverage.

Don't like Roe much though.

Agree withy the above.

I also like to see Simon Holmes and Dennis Pugh when they are on.

They also have some cracking guests on from time to time.

Murray and Lee are grand, the rest could disappear off the telly tomorrow and I doubt too many would care.

Only person I like is when Howell is on . The rest are shocking - give me the Beeb coverage everyday

Lee is awful , Roe and Holmes are dull as dishwater , Riley is trying to be Feherty but even more annoying

Pugh is acceptable

Enjoy it when Butch is on

But give me Hazel , Allis , Wayne Grady and the brilliant Ken Brown every day of the week

 

[Pin-seeker]

Why they don't get Sophie Horn on is beyond me.

Good shout :thup:

BBC golf commentators are much better. Shame that they get so few events to cover!

 

[Qwerty]

I've never understood the downer on Mark Roe, Ok he doesn't exactly set the screen alight but I don't think he's too bad. Apparently he was one of the most popular guys on tour, maybe than influenced him getting the Job with Sky.
Ive got to switch over when Simon Holmes appears, regardless of he fact He's a good coach. He reminds me of "Tory Boy" off Harry Enfield.

Totally agree the BBC commentators do a much better job but get such little chance to cover events.I only got sky for the golf but I think its do bad I'm considering whilst still in the cooling down period after purchase cancelling the whole deal.I'd rather watch the old majors I have on dvd and vhs....
What happened to Howard Clark??

Howard Clark makes appearances at the Majors and WGC and Ryder Cup

So theres no permanent Howard Clark no Tony Johnstone or The Colonel, Euan Murray"s still there with the dull boys and Tory boy who ive never heard of givving lessons......Have to admit that Sarah Stirk is pretty easy on the eye though

Colonel ?

And Holmes is actually a well respected coach and has had both Faldo and Langer as pupils - shame he has the personality of a wet fish

I like Holmes, he has a dry sense of humour. Him and Pugh together doing the shot centre is comedy gold!

Can't stand Mark Roe - miserable, negative, dull.

Rob Lee I can take or leave, where as Ewen Murray I think is great.

As for the BBC though, Ken Brown I find just odd, Maureen whatever she's called is boring, and Peter Allis needs to go and take a long lie down in an asylum. The man is out of touch, sexist, politically incorrect, tactless......hang on a minute....all this makes him great! Do love me the Allis

Not a big fan of his as well

The worst two are Hawksworth and Oosterhius ( spelling ) !
