    Do the commentators ever miss a chance to discuss how undulating it is.
    We get it you told us yesterday and the day before and last year and the year before...

    BBC commentary is great to listen to. McGinley isn't unbelievably bland and just offers nothing.

    Am I the only who likes McGinley?

    I think he's a great addition to Sky, really knows his golf, very specific analysis and isn't full of boring cliches.

    Nice fella - did a great job at the Ryder cup, but will dine on it for life.

    I mean he was only at Augusta twice - never did much in a major - and he talks as if he is Nick Faldo.

    Don't get me wrong - I love my Irish pros. But he is a bit out of place at these big big events.

    I'll give him one thing - he is a dream versus Roe

    Peter Alliss :: " He sure put his considerable frame behind that shot."

    Such an eloquent way of putting it :P

    I like the guy in general but I just feel like he hasn't done it as an individual golfer to merit critiquing others going around Augusta. That's harsh I know.

    Considering his age - he is doing well here.

    Having brown with him - keeps it sensible.

    Alliss is a national (international) treasure and BBC's understated coverage is a joy compared to Sky's contrived hype and hysteria.

    Unfortunately if you want to see much golf on TV, you don't have many options.

    The BBC coverage is refreshing.
    Sky were just showing pictures of bushes and leaderboards the last two days interspersed with ads and interviews.
    BBC are showing non stop golf.

    Old people get a bye.
    My nana used to call black people darkies, and told me not to be seen talking to them. Aul racist, but sure, from a different time.
