I cant believe they have gone to the news in the middle of the 3rd hole of the playoff!, I have watched this for 6 hours today to see who wins and they go to the news!, No wonder golf is losing intrest with people when idiotic networks treat the game like this, I cant believe it!!

DISGRACE!

Haha agreed! More disgraceful that Nathen Bracken’s headband!

Yep…no respect for their audience or the players.

Wake up.

A general election will hold slightly more appeal to the general population than a playoff for a meaningless Aussie Tour event.

Check the ratings tomorrow, although you might not like it…

Its all well and good to throw ratings into the equation, but all this just strengthens the case for paytv giants such as Foxtel to show all the sports.. I used to be totally against the idea, but more and more with moments such as this I am convinced that unless free to air tv channels are willing to show all of the sporting event, they shouldn’t be getting the rights to them. Just my opinion.

So who won ???

baddley won

from ninemsn website

Australia’s Aaron Baddeley won the Australian Masters at Huntingdale at the fourth hole of a sudden death play-off against Sweden’s Daniel Chopra.

Baddeley picked up a cheque for $270,000 for the victory.

And he thanked the lord as well

And he thanked the lord as well

If it is your dream, make it happen….

And you have a problem with that?

Praise the lord millhouse

MrConsistency is a bit obsessed with iseekgolf…

Perfectly said, I could not agree with you more.

Id be happy for Fox to show everything all the time, these type of incidents happen all the time and Ive had enough.

And i could record it on IQ and fast forward all the BS in between the action.

I generally watch any golf i can find on foxtel but i found myself not bothering to watch it today.
Don’t think i wasn’t interested cause i was , i just knew channel 7 would make it painful.

If Badds had sunk that makeable putt for birdie on the first playoff hole we would have had a winner before the news. So blame Badds !

ps I loved the John Cleese adverts for the Titleist NXT ball – in the words of Joost van der Van Van from Brotown – “Yah hilarious !”

You should move to Queensland. We saw it all.

And have a lobotomy ? Play on bermuda ? No daylight savings ? Thanks, but I’ll stay on the sandbelt. (ps I love Qld I holiday there all the time).

There are some commentators on 7 that make me sick.

That old fart and his interviewing of players just as they arrived and were getting out of their cars is one. “P” for pathetic as opposed to his name.

His questions a joke, his running commentary reflecting no knowledge of the game.

Jack was great, love his style and knowledge of the game and swing.

Like a person who got a surprise on the weekend with the Australian Public, some people just never know when to leave the scene and the guy in question, namely “P….y”, should just give it up.

Fresh blood required.

Absolutely disgraceful.

At least we did not have to put up with that “F” Wit who goes by the name “Radar”.

He’s only marginally above sane that bloke. I hope he’s lost for ever.

Frankly, you swear Channel 7 only does the golf to get their quota of “Australian Content” up.

Wonder what the CEO of MasterCard thinks of 7 after all those years of sponsorship…pretty pissed I would suspect.

Please no Radar either, he’s a total goose and “know it all”, and appalling commentator.

Hmmmm

Did you know Radar is contracted to Sky Sports in the UK & Europe as one of their golf commentators.

Amazing.

PT

Sky Sports must have been desperate…....

The guy is a loophead, you only have to listen to what crap comes out of his mouth.

One way to loose ratings, employ Radar. The other is to stop the coverage at a critical time…..well done Channel 7.

Would Packer have done that with one over to spare in a limited over cricket match, with Australia needing only a run to win?

I think not.
