Madam, - I share Tom Harkin's frustration (May 20th) at being deprived of seeing the final hole play-off for Padraig Harrington's victory on Sunday, and once again Mary Hannigan hit the nail on the head (Sport, May 19th). However, it wasn't just customers who didn't "go digital" that got shafted. I went digital with NTL two months ago, mainly so I could watch the golf tournaments.
This provides Sky Sports 1, 2 and 3 but not Sky Sports Extra. Is this an extra "carrot" being dangled by greedy Sky to get people to pay more again or is NTL unable to negotiate a full sports package for its paying customers? I can only hope Padraig's win will give him the extra boost to wrap up tournaments by the 72nd hole in future! - Yours, etc.,
DARA KENNEDY,
