It is so exciting to watch a golf tournament. If it is a major then it gets veery exciting.
I am specially excited for British Open and one of the main reasons is that due to European broadcasting time, It can be watch in a perfect time in Japan!
Asahi TV 5Ch. is broadcasting the event. Hereunder schedule from AsahiTV
第1日 7月14日(木)第1部 夜7時00分~9時54分(予定) / 第2部 夜11時10分~翌朝4時00分
第2日 7月15日(金)夜11時10分~翌朝4時00分
第3日 7月16日(土)夜10時00分~深夜3時30分
最終日 7月17日(日)夜9時24分~深夜2時30分
On Friday It will be needed a good quantity of coffee, but I already have my Nespresso ready!
However, there is a bad point into Japanese Media. The only player you can watch is Ryo Ishikawa. Almost all the broadcasting is focus only in Ishikawa. It is very disappointing not watching other players. So if you are living in Japan and You are able to check international channel, you will enjoy totally the open, if not it will be reduced to game of Ishikawa.
It is nice watching him play, but Japanese media needs to know that golf lovers want to see all players when playing.
In my opinion If you want to offer an Special of Ishikawa, it will be nice to broadcast it by separate, but at least let the golf lovers to enjoy with the game of others, not only one.
Anyway, Enjoy!
