Coverage is great for the British Masters from what I have seen of it.

Was Nick Dougherty playing the other day with a Mic on as he went round?

The masterclass has been a fantastic show. Never knew Tim Barter knew so much about golf. I always thought he was just a tv presenter but he comes across as a teaching pro, turned golf presenter. Anyone know anything about his background?

Tim Barter used to do golf instruction on TV many years ago and I understand to be a teaching pro. I have always found him to be quite knowledgeable.

Nick Dougherty did indeed have a mic as he was playing. It surely cannot have helped him concentrate on his game but to his credit he was brutally honest on day 2 when he wasn't plating well.

PH was spot on with both his bunker tips and chipping... worth keeping this clip if you can

oh I have them saved and have watched them numerous times already

Just on the putting one with Poults & Luuuuke I had a short game lesson last Fri and my Pro said the very same things, i.e practise swing looking at hole, set up, look at hole, back pull trigger.

My putting has greatly improved. Gone from 5/6 3 putts even some 4 putts a round (not kidding) to only 1 3 putt in the last 2 rounds and loads of 1 putts from distance as well!

well chuffed.

Did a great interview with Phil after round 1 or 2. He was very comfortable especially considering Phil was talking about all the new stuff he as doing after ditching his Father.

Must say I enjoy Radar and Beem "The American" as he is now called. Radar is a bit eccentric alright but they know their stuff and call the shots correctly, Beem isn't afraid to take the mick out of himself either.

Love Radar. great character

Nice to hear Peter Allis on commentary but he is making a lot of mistakes.

I thought he was retiring last year???

Maybe he should of!

Mark James as witty and funny as usual, great to hear him

yer one Maureen is awful boring. I suppose they have to do the aul Sexist female thing, but surely they could get someone better.

She was always good as an on-course commentator. Their crew seemed a bit bare-bones this year, probably due to the short notice of getting the coverage.
