Golf coverage/commentator discussion thread!! Mod note #12

She's excellent although of late she's gone a bit too nice. She's got great insight into the shots that should be played especially around the green.

Oh my god no

Mc Ginley with a genius comment. The greens are softer than in the practice rounds. He must have slept through the rain

That seems to be always the case with sky PGA tour coverage.

Unless I'm mistaken Butch wasn't on the coverage last year? Or maybe I'm thinking of the Ryder cup. Thought he'd retired. Great to have him on.

Faldo is a very tough listen. Thoroughly unprofessional at times I feel and not funny at all.

I can see how he fits into American coverage well though.

First time we've agreed on something!

This "Live from the Masters" show is absolute rubbish. Where are the featured groups?

The Masters is a million miles behind the other majors in terms of coverage.

That's great if you pay for sky sports. I have nowtv, and there was nothing to watch till 8pm

No red button for me sadly, I'd have thought putting the featured groups on the main channel would make more sense, with the talking heads on the red button. Especially when they have their own commentary on featured groups

I find Nick seriously annoying. Comes across smug and if he's trying to be self-deprecating/funny; is he?; not sure, either way, its not working, something muppety about him. Wouldnt be a fan of Henny either. The rest are ok. I like Radar and the old lads. Iona is ok, too, and Allison has something fresh about her, but they're not around this week. afaik

McGinley I have nothing against but would second the 'very small doses' sentiment.

Henni in an evening dress and heels demonstrating Collin Morikawa's swing. Is this really the way to get women on sports tv taken seriously?

Far too much about players who have had their day. Tiger was about 10 over and they were still showing him despite the leaders being out on the course. He was a great player but this sentimental showing of him is a bit much.

So they showed a stat that Scottie will need to remain world number 1 until 2035 and Andrew goes another 14 years. You’d have thought basic maths might have been better with coltart

Hopefully the coverage improves over the weekend. I've no interest in watching a broadcast that's essentially CNN news with a few golf shots thrown in.

Also, what's the obsession with discussing golfer's kids/whether they've recently had a kid/whether they're about to have a kid. I can't think of another sport where it's fixated upon anywhere near as much. I couldn't tell you how many kids Kevin de Bruyne or Novak Djokovic or Lewis Hamilton has, mainly because it's rightly never mentioned.
