Stupid 'arty' camera angles does not good coverage make - when it would be just as easy for them to just cover it properly. And as I pay for the pleasure I can criticise if I want to.

All you have done all day long in this thread is bleat on about the coverage
Either complain to Sky or switch over and listen to it on the radio - would be great to have this thread with views about the actual comp as opposed to complaining about Sky

Dreadful. Faldo seems to think he is the be all and end all of the ryder Cup.

Some good ripostes from his team mates though, I like Westwoods's:
“That’s a great question. OK. We’ll take the euphoria we all have from today and just crush it,â€
Bit rich from a lousy captain who treated it as one big jolly and far too fixated on looking good and being "funny". Suggests he revisits some of his pairings and decisions

Yeah,& I thought Monty was bad.
But Faldo as just made himself look a grade A Knob IMO.

That's fine Phil,but just think on the next time you start banging on about Tiger or any of the other many threads you stagnate.

Was it just me, or was anyone else not over impressed with the look of the course. Seemed to be like an American stadium course with loads of bunkers every where, and big run off areas. The greens also seemed slow, although that seemed to affect the US players more than ours.

Apparently they didnt quicken the greens due to the risk of high winds which would make the greens unplayable
Most Ryder Cup courses are the same now - it looks the same as Celtic Manor and K club and Belfry and Valderama - have no doubt the French course will be the same. American Style with.

If I didn't think the coverage was particularly good then I think it is reasonable to say so without you jumping down my throat. It's only my opinion - so if you don't want to read it then don't.

When I was there last year they were still making changes and it was said that they were de-Americanising the course

..and i agree - I didn't think that the course had much in the way of a Scottish moorland course about it - and that';s after a lot of work has already been done to make it look more in keeping with it's surroundings. But mustn't grumble.

He is a massive bell who can't help but stick his massive foot in it. His Captains speech and intro was an embarrassment.

Fair enough. But the coverage was no different to all other Sky, NBC, BBC broadcasts. If anything, the Beeb love their arty shots more than Sky

Three posts out of maybe ten ACTUALLY.
First one I said it wasn't 'blowing my socks off'; second one I mentioned that coverage seemed to jump from one short missed putt (by Bradley) to the same pairing (Micklesen) missing another short putt on the next hole with us seeing nothing in between. And the third was a putt by an American that was shot in such a way that you couldn't see where the hole was so had no idea whether the putt was going to be anywhere close, So three posts - two of which I posted in support of the first so as not to be accused of making something up with no evidence to support my point.

Why do so many threads degenerate into silly bickering that adds so little to the debate?
Am I missing something or is there a common denominator?
There must be a reason for all this negativity!

Is it me or does anyone else think that the USA jumpers, yesterday and today, look like they were knitted by granny?

Considering they clothing is made by such a stylish brand (Ralph Lauren and RLX) the jumpers are awful!
The Europeans have generally looked much sharper than the American's every day.
