Massive events imo should always be free to air but when coverage is this bad I'll be glad when it moves to sky in 2017.

I am sure BBC coverage of The Open used to show more action from different parts of the course and was broadcast earlier in the day. Several commentators were employed.
The poor performance this time must be down to cost which is understandable I suppose. But the programme is looking tired. The slomo stuff to ambient music bit is hackneyed now and all the whimsical ho-hum remarks of Messrs James, Alliss, Brown and particularly the Scots guy (Corbett?) are starting to grate on this viewer at least.
The Sky golf package tends to be snappier and more professional and much as I hate to put money into Murdoch's coffers, I'd rather suffer an ad break than another excruciatingly dull chat between Hazel Irvine and Sir Nick Faldo.

Paul Dunne is still available at 16/1 which seems a decent price for the joint leader, 1/4 odds on first 3 worth £10 e/w

The good thing about The Open moving to SKY is that I won't need to listen to Mark James.

The amateur lad is a real slowcoach. It's time someone had a word with him.

Leishman drops back to -15 alongside Johnson. Always liked Zach Johnson so if it's him or Leishman, I hope it's him.

Put a £1 on Leishman just minutes before he started his final round. He was 50/1.
Close but not quite!

The R&A's committee Christmas night out looks like it'd be a laugh....

I wouldn't expect an amateur to play on the professional tour.
Edit: Thinking about it, my definition of an amateur would be someone who doesn't play the game for a living.Last edited by Speedy; 20-07-2015 at 11:35 PM.

Cash prizes are very common in bowls. And I'm not certain but I don't think everyone who plays tennis would be professional.
