scottish open crowds can be down because people are saving up to go to the open the week after and you're right they can't keep going week after week after week so i tuned i tuned in a little bit found it incredibly boring uh and that's in spite of quite admiring nelly quarter's golf swing i think there was a lady called yoon in fourth place she had a magnificent swing loved watching yeah fantastic swing um i thought the standard of golf was very good but it none it just was so interminably boring and tough to watch and um and i found myself switching off

Two minutes after switching on.

And just to pick up, I mean, Charlie Hull made some comments earlier on in the week about the artistry, the lack of in the game.

The Chipping Forecast

And unfortunately for her, she's playing a major on a golf course where...

The Chipping Forecast

And so it must have frustrated the life out of Charlie Hull.

The Chipping Forecast
Family Fortunes

And she's the kind of character that should be driving a bit more of the say about where we go, because I think she's got a finger on the pulse.

She's just won a major by six.

The Chipping Forecast

We should be talking about her performance because ordinarily in the men's game, if somebody was to win by six.
