PGA Championship 2017 - Mod note #1

luvthegame

Didn't see a thread started yet other than the one related to the broadcasts.

Just watched Sergio Garcia's interview and he comes across as hating this course in the current conditions. He is a great driver of the ball but relies on a lot of roll out which he isn't getting here.

Based on what all the players are saying I cant see anyone other than a real longer hitter winning here? Who are your three picks.

I have McIlroy, DJ, Mastuyama.

Keep this thread strictly about the golf, not the commentary or lack of

DJ seems to be still struggling. He starts well, but fades away. Still suffering from that injury perhaps.

I hope Rory destroys the field

Koepka is a bomber as well, I think he'll be in contention. Been very quiet since US Open win.

What channel is this on in Ireland? Heard Sky don't have it and eir are showing it but couldnt see it in their listings.

Mantis Toboggan

Would be amazing to see Spieth complete the grandslam at 23.

Hopefully McIlroy can do it, this could be a cracking championship.

Coverage starts at 6pm on Eir Sport 1

Lowry all over the shop down the first. Made a big putt for bogey in the end, could be crucial for his confidence.

Is it possible to watch this without all that **** on the screen, ie the thumbs up and commenst?

paulos53

Actually it looks like that is not a live feed and it just a clip of their early holes. Live feed is on the official website but it slow to load for me so far

Yup, +4 after 9, he hates this place and was beaten before he teed off.

Hoping mcillroy can kick on now, although putter seems cold.

First shot lost due to lack of a proper caddy? Far too much club he hit in there.

I'd say that's harsh on Harry, players overhit even with proper caddies.

BBC is woeful too. I can deal with a few adverts so I can listen to people in touch with a sport.

BBC Red button. You can add it if you have sky.

Moans about commentary and coverage don’t belong in this thread, we’ve got one for that...

Any tips on how to add it?

CalamariFritti

Anytime I watched BBC red button on Sky I just went to BBC and pressed the red button. But its not working now. Did something change there?

Edit: Found it

Go to Services/Options/OtherChannles/AddChannel

Enter this:
10.773
H
22.0
5/6

Press Yellow for 'Find Channels'.
Scroll down 'til you have BB RB1.
Press Yellow to add channel.
Press Select to finish adding channels.
Go back to OtherChannels.
Watch BBC RB1

For those looking, here are the settings:

It's on:
10.773

22.0
5/6
labelled RB1

You add it through Options/Add Channels on your sky box. Once added, it will be found under Other Channels on the same menu.

Rory drove it from tee to about 50 ft from the green on the par 4 8th. MICHELSON was taking his putt and it didn't land to far away from him

This is BBC RB1 you're adding. After it's added you'll find it in 'other channels'

First Up

On my Sky Q you go Settings/Manual Tuning, then enter your 4 digit code, then Add a Channel, then enter the frequency etc as above.

The margins at that level must be sooo small. Being a handicap golfer I'd be thinking if I hit drives and irons like McIlroy that would have to give me so much confidence almost to the point of feeling invincible and that it would be oozing into the weaker parts of my game and I actually would be invincible. But then what would I know. The margins must be so small at that level and apparently you have to be absolutely tip top at everything.

Mantis Toboggan

2 hours 50 for 9 holes!

Just read there Lowrys group was put on the clock on the second hole. Seems very soon!

The 2nd or their 2nd? They started on 10.

My understanding was their 2nd. I must be wrong on that though.

Enjoying that the course not seemingly set up to be blitzed
