    Been keeping an eye on it on the BBC website but not actually watching it.

    BBC television commentary on the golf is usually top notch although still miss the days Peter Aliss. Who’s doing the Sky commentary?

    Mainly it’s Coltart who’s not great but Henni Koyack has been lead commentator last few days, horrendously monotone fangirl who keeps giggling at her own (unfunny)jokes. No doubt given the job as a cheap alternative. Twitter is awash with people complaining to Sky, doubt it will change anything though.

    BBC always had a great commentary team, Aliss, Ken Brown, Andrew Cotter, Maureen Madill etc

    Sadly, the way most television commentator teams are going.

    Jeez, so you like cricket, golf and law.
    I bet the highlight of your year is the national paint drying championships. <laugh>

    Probably one of the few sports that must be better watching on TV than in-person. Great way to waste a day watching.

    Now that Saudi are in charge they hopefully will enact the cut more literally with all those not finishing in the top 60 or 70 publically beheaded on the 18th.

    What happened to the second drive?
    I hear consistency is rather important in golf...

    It went even further today. Even par for the front nine.
