Was just thinking that, some difference to Sky's coverage. No insight, no knowledge, no research Alliss mailed it in long ago.

Aliss is 86, he really shouldn't be doing it anymore.. He was fantastic back in the day though!

Wonderful that this is on BBC.

Far superior quality of coverage.

Any chance to hear the incomparable Peter Alliss commentate is not to be missed.

Seriously? It's the worst major coverage in ten years

Has there even been a 'Ken on the Course' yet??

It's the only decent thing about their coverage... really missing Ewen Murray's dulcet times he's an excellent commentator!!

Yeah i had to turn it off, don't think they had heard of half the players. Alliss referred to Jaidee as "the wee man from Thailand", basic research on players isn't much to ask.

If there's one thing I hate in this world above all others, including ISIS, it's Sky Sports' golf coverage.

Utterly sycophantic and corporate to the last.

Paul McGinley must be the most boring coont ever to give an "opinion" on a television screen.

Nobody forces you to watch it? It's not as if bbc (or any or their channel) they have made any effort to broadcast regular pga, european tour , LPGA, ladies European tour events, etc........

Sky's coverage addresses what modern golf, as a sport, is now about.
