Golf - The Open
We were up at dawn and drove home from our week away with every intention of enjoying a weekend watching The Open on TV. Thank goodness we didn't go to St Andrews, we thought about it. Are you like us, and missing the action?

No, they lose rights because they do little to support the sport compared to Sky.
I watch golf every week of the year on Sky. I can watch men's golf, women's golf, pro golf, amateur golf, European golf, PGA Golf, seniors golf, and so on. The BBC shows hardly any golf and, when it does, cherry picks the top tournaments.
This afternoon I would like to listen to golf, but is the BBC doing a dedicated radio broadcast for those who can't get to a TV screen? No! Simply mixing up golf with Radio Five "rolling news and sport". A real waste.
