The Long Walk - Wednesday 10pm on Setanta Ireland

Great show - that Mark Murphy is some character. Amazing how he pretty much changed his life through one bold offer to Rocco Mediate while caddying for him one day as a young lad in Waterville.

Hope he gets somewhere. I'll certainly be keeping an eye out.

Phelan looks amazing too.

John Divney · 24-04-2014 10:20pm

Phelan must be struggling, haven't heard anything about him bar a T5 somewhere worth 40k.

He did so well to get the card, hope he settles quickly.

Mark won the Big Break Ireland a good few years ago (maybe 5?) If he was going to bounce on and make something for himself he would have by now. Of course I would love it if he did, but I just can't see it happening.

I think you will be straining your eyes :eek:

Murphy is a character I'd say. Even uses yellow golf balls!!

True and comes across as a nice guy but wonder if his problem is consistency as he appears to have a very quick, whippy type swing and not what we've come to expect from professionals. That said his pal Rocco Mediate alluded to his problems being with the short stick and getting it in the hole so could be completely wrong on above observation.

Great job. I had the first one recorded but the Sky box packed up on me last week so it never recorded the second one. But yesterday the nice man came and set up HD for me...so I will now set the box to record the second episode on the repeat. I wonder if Setanta have a HD version? Ah, first world problems

The information said it was about Damien McGrane and a couple of other guys. I never saw anything about Damien McGrane in the first one..maybe it's in the second one?

on the plus.... Setanta do have HD... it was on my UPC box, but as I am now with sky, I don't even have Setanta... but scanning through the channels I haven't spotted Setanta HD there.

When it comes to series link, Setant are awful I have never seen one show n Setanta that had Series link on it, so I'm afraid you just have to remember to set each individual recording yourself.

Tin_Cup · 02-05-2014 8:59pm

Really enjoyed the shows. Thought they gave a great insight to the guys playing at each level and how tough it is.

Agree with stevieob on the series link. Normally on Sat or Sun do a search on golf in the sky planner to set recordings of the shows for week. Always one or two that slip through the net!

Dolph Starbeam · 02-05-2014 11:03pm

Ah crap. Thought it was repeated at 10pm?? Only got home from work for 10 and watched the episode, thought it was the first episode I was watching. It was very interesting though.

curly from cork · 02-05-2014 11:05pm

Jeez raging ... Tuned in at 10 pm as Niall said , enjoyed the hour but apparently missed the first one ???? Any where I can catch part 1 ?

PARlance · 02-05-2014 11:20pm

Am out for a few jars playing snooker. Praying the UPC recording works this time around.

Recorded both last night when I remembered it, never spotted that Neil had mentioned 10pm (instead of 9pm), sorry bout that folks.

carnsoreboxer · 03-05-2014 10:46am

Thought this was a great programme one that club Golfers should watch to remind themselves that golf is their hobby! Would love to play the courses in Sardinia and Kazakhstan

It'd be worth sending Setenta Sports: Niall a PM, he posted on the first page of this thread. He may be able to tell you of any future viewings.

If you're on the look out for good golf docs. They had one called Caddy for Life on last Monday I think.
An excellent watch. They won't be a dry eye in the house.

Mark Murphy doing well in the current European Tour Q School qualifiers - hopefully he can pull through in the coming days !!!

Just watched this now - didn't see all - think it was a bit sad in a way.
A bit depressing.

As someone said above, it reminds you we are doing this for a hobby.

It looks like a nightmare. I admire them - but for some you feel they are trapped in a way.

Travelling the world to have a bad day, miss a cut.

Even when you do well you earn what - 3 or 400 quid.

Any place where can watch this online?(if allowed ask)

As long as its an official stream its fine. Illegal = no no.

FixdePitchmark · 27-01-2015 4:43pm

BTW - I think next part is on tonight a 9 pm - Setanta.

Just to show you how hard a life it is

Here is one of the lads featured -

http://www.europeantour.com/challengetour/players/playerid=34242/results/season=2009/index.html

He actually got some qualifying rights in 2009 - and even finished top 20 in Italian Open.

Turned pro in 2005 and has been at it 10 years now.

Fair play - some effort.

Must need some sponsorship to stay going.

And he is one of the lads that has actually done well - including a win on Challenge Tour.

For anyone with Sky, the show is listed as freeview tonight so you can watch even if you don't subscribe to Setanta (like me).
