UK telly viewers - who is your broadcast team?

Who is providing play by play and colour coverage of the tournament in the UK?

Over here we have:

1) Jim Nance on play by play in the booth.
2) Nick Faldo on colour in the booth.
3) Peter Oosterhuis on the course.
4) David Feherty on the course.
5) Verne Lundquist on the course.

Is your coverage on BBC or Sky and who is behind the mikes??

Peter Allis who makes it twice as good to watch, Sam Torrance, Wayne Grady and Ken Brown on the course. They are all OK with Allis being amusing frequently but I'd like to have Faldo and feherty.

I've seen Peter over here quite a few times and like him...I don't think I've seen Sam though...

What are Grady and Brown like? I saw Grady win the 1994 PGA Championship here in Birmingham and he seemed like he had a quiet personality for an Aussie...

I like Grady - he shows a quietly deep understanding of the game and transfers his knowledge across well to the audience. He seems very laid back - an Aussie trait - and manages to help your appreciation of exactly what a player has been able to achieve from a shot, especially tricky chips, bunker shots and trouble shots.

Ken Brown is a little eccentric and fits in well with the rest of the team. Mega-enthusiatic.

I always enjoy watching the BBC team - I think they have a nice blend of humour in their presentation. Alliss takes the lead and the others chip in (excuse the pun) around him.

I still miss Dave Marr - he used to do The Open and The World Matchplay and he had a lovely turn of phrase. He seemed like a lovely man.

Interesting perspective...the Aussies I have met in my time had very outgoing personalities...like Steve Irwin...extremely engaging. It almost seems to me to be a national characteristic of theirs...kind of like the Irish...

We are lucky to have the Masters on the BBC,Torrance and Grady are excellent as is Ken Brown on the course (who has also played in the Masters).Its excellent coverage and Gary Lineker is far less offensive than Kelly whatsherface and Rich whoisit.

David Feherty classic quote on Amen corner net coverage :

"These greens are harder to hit than Oscar De La Hoya's nose"

The only one of our bunch that I don't care for is Jim Nance. Feherty, Oosterhuis, and Faldo are great, but man, how I miss Henry Longhurst at the Masters.
