    I'm pleased to see Sky using Oosterhuis so much - have always liked him.

    Always thought it was a shame when CBS dropped him from their main team - though of course he is still on their main team for The Masters (and PGA Championship I think).

    Apologies if this has been covered but have Sky dropped or reduced Bruce Critchley work load?

    I know he has not been in the best of health recently but I haven't seen his name mentioned for a while.

    He was in Switzerland last week.

    I don't think we know for certain - there was a suggestion earlier on this thread that maybe he doesn't want to fly to the US any more.

    He's still doing quite a bit.

    Ditto. He did the on course for the 3D Ryder Cup at Medinah. He was on camera loads of the time and interacting with the gallery. He's my all time favourite on course reporter.

    He's doing the KLM this week, too.

    He use to always do the US open with Butch before Monty got his foot in the door iirc

    Didn't catch much, but heard Howard Clark and Steve Beddow with Radar and Andrew Coltart on the course.

    What's the biggest tournament Steve Beddow has ever worked for Sky?
    He's been around for years and years hasn't he.
    Personally I find his voice sends me to sleep.

    He did the 3D Ryder Cup in Medinah with Oosterhuis and Radar.

    I've always liked him and he has a very dry sense of humour.

    Year's ago he was the assistant pro at Huntercombe in Oxfordshire and did the traffic reports from helicopter for radio 210 in Reading.

    He also did The Open commentary for BBC radio twenty odd years ago.

    I believe those are the 'official films' Sky's version is 'how the Ryder Cup was won' both are being shown and I must say I am thoroughly enjoying them

    Pretty sure he's also done red button Open coverage on BBC doing specific holes.
    with Wayne Humphreys.

    Anybody else get the feeling there is always a bit tension there between Butch and Monty?

    Yes, I think he has.

    For the record - Warren Humphreys.

    Nice to hear Tony Adamson and Renton Laidlaw in particular on the official films - great broadcasting voices, brings back memories from many years ago.

    Tony Adamson was a guest on 5live on Monday night, worth tracking down
