Advantages: The brilliant golf

Disadvantages: The BBC coverage of the event

I looked forward to the open championship at St.Andrews, on the weeks leading up to the summer holidays. The excitement of Tiger Woods performance, and the battle and ever changing developments in the lead. But I thought the BBC coverage of the golf could have been improved greatly. There were many problems, such as the BBC camera men couldn't half the time, keep track of the ball, and often lost it. But it was the way that the cameramen acting on this that amused me, such as when they had actually lost the ball from view, they attempted to make it look like they did it on purpose. Such as when they did lose the ball, they zoomed the camera out as if they were taking a look at the hole, but when they found it, they quickly zoomed back into the ball. The only thing creditable was when they used computer animation to show each hole. But Despite the BBC coverage, the golf was fantastic, and four days to remember.
