The Open 2016 - TV Coverage

When you look back at the kind of stuff we whinge about on our tv coverage for The Open you’d think we pay a grand a week just for our Golf coverage!

Habitual moaners some pal, sometimes moaning for the sakes of moaning, must be a bundle of joy to walk around with for 4 hours, or a lot longer at some courses!

Interestingly The Scottish Open the previous week had a big fall in crowds from 65000 ish to 42000 ish blamed on the weather

The last two Scottish opens were held at Royal Aberdeen and Gullane, one in a large city of almost 200,000 and the other half an hour from Edinburgh Scotlands capitol, so not really comp to Inverness of about 60,000.

when its at CS its always going to have the same figures as its a limited audience.

my take on the sky coverage was it was brilliant.the commentary was top notch even with monty doing his bit . the whole thing was very proffesional and didnt leave you wanting for anything else to be added to it .
even the weather added to the event making it a must watch .
10/10 from me .long may sky show the open .

You can't really compare Radio and TV commentary, They are completely different styles and serve different purposes , the Radio folk will paint a picture of what's going on, TV accompany what's happening, with the TV option there is always the mute button.
