Golf

Should be a great final round. Is there anything better than golf in high def ? I've got all the lines working into my hard drive recorder for a night of golf......EPL....etc. Bring it on.

Woods will and deserves to be favourite but dont discount Vijay !

Super effort by Ogilvy.............so far ;D
 
Yeah great effort channel chump. Play gets suspended and they have to go to Monday but does channel chump go the whole hog and show the remaining holes ? No.

Channel chump sucks.

Talk English Redder's , what are you saying ?????

Are channel 10 HD NOT televising the Final 9 Holes ????

Glad I didn't bother going to the Sister's place and getting up at 5.30am if that's the Case.

If so , another perfect example of how Backward and Antiquated the TV set-up in this Country truely is.

People , we are being Ripped - Off Big-time by the TV company's .............it's an absolute disgrace.

Final round is on now, Frosty. Singh to within one.
 
weird morning. Apart from a bit of a run from Woods, nothing really happened at all. Ogilvy - zero birdies, wins by one. Good to see and a good effort given he has no driver to speak of. Scott predictably disappeared but surprisingly most challengers to Ogilvy did the same.
 
Well done Ogilvy. Top effort.

Did channel chump show the final 9 holes this morning ? I couldnt see it anywhere in any guides.

Not sure Redder's..................Scotty mentioned above that it had started , didn't say whether or not it was on Channel 10 , then again , seeing as his post was at 12.30 this morning , I'm guessing he is oversea's somewhere.

I checked the Guide last night and nothing was mentioned.

Great Win by Ogilvy , did enough to hold on , that's all that matter's......................Tiger made a mini run , but not to be.

Good week overall for the Aussies , let's hope they are well-tuned for Augusta , I believe we are a little Overdue for a Win at the place.

Nope. I bought one of these (see below) a couple of months ago and HD sport is amazing. It's just a pity there isn't more of it. I actually stumbled across the golf by accident last night when I was changing channels, but it looked awesome. :clap

Sorry, Frosty. Should have said I was overseas. I'm in the middle east and I must have 40 channels dedicated to sport but none of them were showing the golf...often happens when a schedule gets changed because of rain etc. Ended up following it on the www.pgatour.com, using it's play-by-play function on the leaderboard. Very annoying. Anyway, well done Ogilvy.

I agree we are overdue at Augusta. Can't wait. Would love to see Ogilvy win again, or Appleby but jeez it's hard to pick golf.

No Prob's Mate , I figured you were out of the Country , I give he PGA site a bit of a thrashing myself , and yeah , the only way to be 100% of seeing a Tourney in it's entirety is to be in the States.
That's the biggest thing I miss..............the TV , it's absolute Crap here.

Looking forward to the Master's though , fingers crossed one of the Boy's could do it finally..............But Tige will take some beating , that's for sure.

HD golf on a good television is simply amazing. Ive got a Sony Bravia LCD and it comes up pure.

Finally got rid of the old B&W telly hey Redders? ;D

Great effort by Ogilvy he's put his name up in lights with that win. Starting to make a name for himself in his own right.

Jeezzzzz , Jubalia...............for that price , I hope to God it's a Good Picture at the very least.

That's some Big Bickies for a TV mate , but , why not if you afford it , Good Luck to ya.
 
Gee Bermuda grass sucks. Watching the golf from Doral, I was looking at it and thinking that whole course sucks in fact. I hate those flat, park land looking courses with bermuda grass everywhere.

Couch fairways and bentgrass greens. Only way to go baby ! (You can tell I'm a sandbelt person !)

Seriously though, bentgrass greens are pure when they're in good nick. Nothing's better to putt on than high quality bentgrass.
 
Just went and belted a 100 ball s at the range.

Safe to say, nothings changed... I still don't have it.

Keep practicing Scoop.....................you just never know , some day you might just turn the Corner and be challenging Tiger and the Boy's on the Big Tour and we can all say ..........."Hey , I knew that Guy when he was a Hacker"

My enjoyment with golf increased markedly when I stopped playing. Have the occasional go on the par 3 courses but only for a laugh. Prefer watching and punting on it. It's often a slow and painful death but the odd time you land a winner at odds makes it all the worthwhile. FWIW, Duke and Kim to each go one better this year and quinella the Zurich.
