OBE Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 What criteria must you have to get your puss on Sky's coverage? Bello, Scott, Casey, Westwood, Oosthuizen, Day, Noren, Koepka, all popular players with little or no air time. Sky as usual, hanging of all the usual suspects bell ends. Shaun Norris will be cussing his pairing with level par TW. Out of the 77 players not to make the cut, only 2 had a sub par round yesterday, normally with the cut out of reach, some players relax with no pressure and produce a decent round, Carnoustie had other ideas. Wind speed and direction could've been a bit more interesting for the final round, 16mph breeze, west south westerly...pah!...a mere zephyr! The youngster Brandon Stone is enjoying his golf and a purple patch, I hope we see some coverage today and tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The youngster Brandon Stone is enjoying his golf and a purple patch, I hope we see some coverage today and tomorrow. Don't know Sky's policy but the BBC used to regularly state it's position regarding Open coverage. It was said to along the lines of them picking a certain number of 'feature' groups and devoting the majority of air time to those groups. For many years there was a generous amount of time dedicated to showing the shots of non-contending English players throughout the four days. Even more contradictory to the BBC's insistence was that players playing in some of their feature groups were routinely missed from the coverage. Let's just say... not English players. I can distinctly remember Opens when Colin Montgomery, Europe's top player for many years, was barely seen on the screen, despite occupying a similar position on the leaderboard as a Luke Donald, Lee Westwood, David Howell, etc. Paul Lawrie won in 1999 but was given sparse coverage thereafter, despite being a recent Open winner. There was absolutely no demonstrable logic to the BBC's coverage. They were regularly challenged by Scottish licence fee payers to justify themselves but never provided a satisfactory explanation of why someone like Paul Casey at +3 was being followed around the course. The reason was bloody obvious of course. The BBC tried their damnedest to British-ify the Open. English-ify even. The Open has no 'nationality' in effect. It is the Open tournament of the R&A.

He could be completely out of contention tomorrow and he will still have a huge crowd following him around the course. Sky are merely giving their audience what they want. Woods is still a huge pull for golf. I'd much rather see the contenders too, but I can see why they do what they do. Should be better as he will be finished reasonably early into the late starters' rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XB52 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I gave up watching live golf because of the infatuation with Tiger. You missed all the real action as they were showing him on the practise area or walking between holes. By all means show him hitting shots but the rest was a total joke.

He dominates their live coverage and by live I mean live - not like the rest of the field who will only feature on a recorded clip if they have hit a good or a bad shot.

Cruyff Turn Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Justin Rose did what he needed to do today, don't think anyone else will shoot a 64 but I'd imagine Mcllroy, Kisner, Johnson, Fleetwood, Perez etc.. to shoot 66-68. Tiger Woods has played some lovely stuff but hasn't taken the risks. He needs a 66 today minimum, still great to see him competing again. Anyone who shoots a 70 or a par round today probably has little chance of getting close tomorrow when the wind starts a blowing. Tomorrow a 71 might be a great round, definitely moving day today.
