Golf -- leader board is difficult to see with these colours

[RadP]

The small box that records leading scores is now indistinct   . ... pale text on pale backgrounds. And when they show a players scores  .... grey for par and black for bogey.  Graphics failures as seen from the viewers perspective (perhaps the most important one!).

Perhaps it would be better airing your opinion to the Viewer Relations Team via email at viewerR@sky.uk

Ok thanks. The options don't make it easy .... just seeing if anyone else out there the same. It just was clearer in the past .... Scottish Open the case in point..... and mentioned by commentators. Case of fixing something that wasn't broken?

hi @RadP 

Personally I don't have a problem with them - maybe having had cataract surgery earlier this year helps.

I may be wrong but I think the sponsers have some say on the graphics  - for example on the Evian Ladies Championship that I am switching between the graphics are very pink  in line with the sponsers

I have been watching Sky Sports Golf for many years. Why the change to the in screen Leaderboard panel. The only thing I can discern is the score. There is now way I can make out the thin black lettering on a grey  background for the player names?

@OldGaga 

I've moved your post into a thread already discussing this. Please see the replies from @nigea99 and myself.

It really seems like to me for the Evian Ladies championship, that the colour scheme seemed co-ordinated to the logo

Much improved graphics today for The Open but I'm finding the hole number difficult to distinguish in the top left corner. Not so much the red on yellow, but the font is awful.

hi @oj01  

I am a bit slow off the mark to notice this (although I have been watching most of the day) but the on screen hole colours & font match the on-site boards at the tees (& maybe elsewhere).

Although I can distinguish them OK on my 55" OLED I agree the font is, imo also, not the best (especially at reduced size)

Re Golf,    The grey background for the scores is not totally clear! A white background would be much better.

@Delowe 

I'm sure this has come up before regarding golf. I'll look for the thread. You can report it to Sky by emailing the Viewer Relations Team at viewerR@sky.uk

Edit: 

Pretty sure I was thinking of this thread

Golf leaderboard is difficult to read with black on grey. It's fine when the player is highlighted

You post has been moved into the thread already discussing the score graphics.
