The Open

BBC Northern Ireland’s coverage of the run up to The Open is really cringeworthy.

It basically consists of finding Americans and begging them to tell us how wonderful Portrush and Norn Iron is. Complete boke

They do that down here too with the Irish open , hurling , music etc . We are needy as fuck .

Sculling a pint of Guinness is compulsory as well.

All over the shop.

And whiskey. And I heard one american idiot who wanted to “drive the Giant’s Causeway”. Well good luck with that. Hope the RNLI are ready to go.

Big Darren -3 after 6 holes, Sugrue -2, Lowry just missed a birdie putt on the first. Paddy level after 2 holes

Be great if there were more than just hghlights of this on the tele

Darren did well to drop one shot. Paddy -1

Great to see this in Ireland.

Is it on BBC ?

Highlights just

2000 hrs each night I think

I thought the Open championship was protected like Wimbledon , grand national , boat race , cup final etc ?

I should have booked the weekend off and went up.

Youre afraid of your life to leave Limerick… You’d have a mental breakdown up north.

I’ve an hour window to watch this live. Ah lovely. Think we might take a trip up to the P&P today

What course do you use?

Was thinking Douglas but could go Garyduff or Raffeen

Ever play St Annes up by Shanakeil? Heard its decent.
