OK! - I'm abit new to this but I WANT this idea to work.. What if your Golf Society (in our case), Rugby/football/cricket Club could have a professional commentary team with all the associated camera work & coaches/caddies to do the number on a fixture.

For example, Peter Alliss & Alex Haigh :

...Thanks Alex, we're at the 14th with Barry Owen, he has just 150 Yards to the pin with a 8 mph following wind and for some reason he looks to have a 5 Iron in his hand...

..{fade to next shot},, well he's played the 5 iron, he has 135 Yards to go and he still has the 5 iron....

You get the picture?

I think you would need some channel 4 Gameshow to pick this up with various Sports Societies competing for the prize (The day out with commentary) but wouldn't it be a hoot? What with the plethora of cheap Public oriented TV at the moment it must be a winner!

       I'm sure it's already in the pipeline on Sky.

       Oh, I thought this would be amateur commentators.   

       Well, umm, ahh, that looks like the 14th hole, Hi Mum!. Tiger Woods has a stick in his hand, might be an iron thingy...   

       ... Emmett Smith dodges around that big, dopey-lookin' linebacker from The Bruins... Touchdown! Man, that's 20 bucks you owe me Lyle. Told you he'd score in the first half.   

       ... Gonzalez slides into home! That's it, we've won the World Series! What?! Aawww Shit Ref! How can you say he wasn't home? Didja forgetcha fuckin' glasses? What's wrong with you, pal?

       "Dude check THAT out"
"Whoa"
"You think they're real?"
"Who cares"
"Dayum"
"Fuckin' A, man"

       alx is probably right about Sky. After all, they've already baked UnaBubba's idea for having amateurs do the commentary (they have alternative commentaries available on the football coverage, done by a fan from either side. It is, of course, total crap!).

       I can imagine that it gets progressively funnier as the afternoon wears on.

UnaBubba, Aug 23 2001
  

       Rather the opposite, in fact.

Great link. I'd be proud to have that as my homepage but sadly, it's nothing to do with me.

DrBob, Aug 23 2001
  

       Au contraire DrBob, I revel in people making dickheads of themselves in public. It's always gratifying to watch someone who doesn't know when to shut up.

       This is fast. So I'm meant to .......
