Just wondering. Tiger is 2 back tied for third through 7 holes and on TV he hasn't even teed off yet. Frustrating.

Seriously, what possible excuse could they have for this nonsense?

Now he's one back of Davis Love, tied for 2nd. Yet I can't watch it live. WTF???

I think they're probably shooting for a different demographic than the people who are able to sit around and watch golf at 10 in the morning on a Friday.

Right, would that be the demographic that doesn't want to watch Tiger?

Clark,

Check the Open real time leader board; it is live.

Yeah, that's where I'm getting my info about the current leaderboard. Thanks.

TNT coverage was live in my area when I left today. Tiger was on 3 or 4. Maybe it is Pacific time zone that is the problem or the cable provider. But unfortunately I had to show up at work so I can't watch. Still can post here tho. /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif


P.S. Sometimes the BBC feed will drive you nuts. Oh, tiger is putting for eagle. Let's show the lady pushing a stroller with a screaming kid in it, that's a quaint English scene.

Putting for eagle on 14?

What happened to cause him to double on 12?

I don't know, I'm not watching.

My comment on tiger putting for eagle in my post was just rhetorical. It seems like the bbc shows stupid stuff. Yesterday I had only a minute to watch and was trying to get scores or see something. They showed Monte riding in a cart for like two minutes. Come on. I am an American and have no patience or attention span. I need constant action. I need to see golf, leaderboards, etc.... Not interminable gallery shots.


And I won't get to watch today. I have to go to this party my wife's firm is having and drink and play golf and stuff. It will be horrible.

But who's watching the puppy? Seems like you may need to bow out of the party to puppy-sit. /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Nah, just got home. Puppy was a sorry ass stressed out pup, but he's OK. He can really talk when he wants. Might have to get a kid next door to come play with him when we'll be gone for a while.

P.S. Golf was real torture. It was hot and the beer cart missed us on a couple of holes. The scenery down in the canyon was OK. Dinner down by the Snake River with more beer was OK. I think I would have rather been sitting in the office. Or not.:D
