    Dougherty on McIlroy:

    "Based on what we've seen this week I'm optimistic for his future"

    What an utterly moronic statement. Sums him up as a commentator.

    McGinley saying Harmon in the water when he went long and right over 15. He has played there and even I know from watching that the water behind the green doesn't go over that side. Then started mumbling about how the legs of the TV tower must have saved him.

    I like Ewen Murray but the other lead commentators aren't great. The lag when Butch is on is getting more annoying. I've switched over to Eir frequently

    Murray is a commentator for those that have never watched golf before, "simply stunning"

    I find Murray insufferable these days, revels in clichés and the trite and inane.

    I watched the last half hour with no commentary. A big improvement.

    Is there featured groups on Sky today before the main coverage? I can't find it mentioned anywhere on their listings

    They are on the red button, riveting viewing. Sebastian munoz started with a solid par, and we get to see Phil Mickelson hacking around again. 4pm on sky, they will show a few shots, but mostly talk about how many shots Justin Rose will win by, and speculate about the mentality required to win the masters, but the main coverage is on at 7:00

    In this day and age it's ridiculous that we can't get full live coverage when the leaders have teed off

    Always been an issue with the Masters, about time they changed things

    Why does McGinley need two hands to hold a mic.

    He looks like a moron. Can’t stand listening to him.

    Also can’t stand “raydar” what the **** is he wearing.

    How did sky have no clue that play was going to be suspended?

    They are ruining the masters for me, awful team.

    And Rich Beem literally just said they were expecting a delay at 9pm our time, Sky maybe should've asked him!

    Rich Beem is the best of them, not many predictions from him, just analysis, Coltart the cheerleader just talks over the coverage, and makes no sense

    You know they're struggling to fill time when they're showing a clip from a press conference on Tuesday of a player that missed the cut talking about a player that's not in the field

    The key to good commentary is to be quiet most of the time....then come out with a few gems...

    Like Ted Lowe....

    Cant be done these days, people just love their own voices...

    They should have Laura Davies on the main coverage, thought she was very good at the ANA last week.

    Lol, she's very knowledgeable, positive but not afraid to comment on a player's weakness.
    You must be mixing her up with somebody else or you have some strange fixation.
