    I've just got pictures, no commentary. Anyone have a clue how it works?

    Stableford, more points for the harder Pin. Have to take the harder pin at least 3 times

    its noting special anyway but the commentator is trying to make it sound unbelievable. That Hawkworth lad is wrecking my head.

    Still trying to figure out how the scoring works really, but it seems like an awful silly load of ****e to me. :confused: Flashy and quick, fancy graphics all over the place. Suppose they're trying to give it the 20/20 cricket treatment but I'm not sure it'll work for Golf. Seems fairly daft.

    This Powerplay ****e is really bringing out the fundamentalist in me.

    That's probably the best way to watch it - saves having to listen to the Sky Sports "WOW! ZING! BOF! BASH!" commentary trying to convince us this is "super cool and groovy"...

    The premise itself is fine, entertaining and they've got some good characters who you would enjoy watching anyway so it's not bad.

    I'm just watching the repeat here on Sky and it's enjoyable enough, I'd be quite happy to see something like this gain a regular spot on the calendar.

    It sounded as if Shane O'Donoghue was just shouting over everybody else. Thought he was
    a bit much. Besides that i thought that it was enjoyable enough, think i would still prefer to
    watch your average run of the mill golf tourny.
