blonde poker forum

I'm on Donald @ 30 and Jimenez @ 100

Go on my cockers !

 ;) ;)

Westwood is back in form (finally) a fearsome player at his best

im sticking with big Vijay, or mabye Lefty, Mickelson!!

need to check the market tonight on Betfair!

i reckon it will be sandy or colin

Let me guess what Nationality they re......

Sandy still playing?

he is still playing golf not sure if he still has an exemption to play the US Open he wont have a ranking high enough to play otherwise

Don't think either of them are high enough in the rankings or have exemptions.

Monty is in.

Don't former winners get an exeption for life?

You are going against a lot of recent history backing a European

Outside the top players I think there is value in the likes of Robert Allenby (125/1 in places), Mike Weir (80/1 generally) and Angel Cabrera (100/1 generally). All consistent straight hitters

Of the big boys I think Retief Goosen will be there or thereabouts, as usual

Lyle won the Masters, for which he is exempt for life. I think US open winners get a long term but not lifetime exemption

monty squeaked in by getting 50th spot in the rankings JUST

Ok, us open winners get a 10 year exemption.
Lyle is NOT exempt for this years open.

Former winners do get a lifetime exeption I believe.

Sandy Lyle won the US Masters and the Open, not the US Open.

And my picks are more down to the style of player, straight accurate hitters with great all round short-games.

Tiger Woods has 8 exemptions lol!!!

I agree, hence my choices....if it's a European winner great, but think better value generally in ROW players....   

yip ie Vijay!

Best of luck, Vijay's been playing terrible last few weeks.

ok, as the resident golfer on this site i suggest you look for an each way outsider in this event as the US Open is notorious for throwing up unusual and unheard of champions.  Also alot of sites give you 1/4 odds on top five and when i used to do a bit of golf betting some gave you top 6 but that may have changed.  I will pick through the lists and give a blonde tip. - this could be a good feature -  blondetips.

The Kinane one from Kev looks like it may come up

back later!

get a move on we're half-way through the first round already !

It's been live on sky since 3pm.

I'll take Jimenez versus your outside(over 80/1) for a fiver.

can i ask what makes junior the residant golfer on the blonde boards

apart from not having played in 15 years i think i might just have played more rounds than anyone here

and think i could on my day give anyone on these board a run for there money

He does play off +2 last I heard Ironside.

However I don' think that makes him the best judge of golf betting.

 ;)

I'll take Allenby vs Jimenez for a fiver if you like

is that supposed to impress me?

I have gone for Harrington at 40's
Mike Weir at 110's
and Casey at 600's (now thats value)

you forgot monty

OK you're on.

Thankfully, we have all forgotten him.

How would you expect me to know what impresses you?

You should have figured it out by now !

Casey +9 through 11  value gone !

 :'(

+2????
OMG why ain't you on tour?
Woods is off +2 and most tour players are off 1 or 2!!

what impresses me is a nice natural 34c

casey will finish +8 then shoot 63 tomorrow!

Well I did suggest that the blondeites send you a strippagramme !

and i said natural

hard to find a strippergramme with natural 34c's

No need for a poll there then ?

Actually Tigers handicap is +8, just checked.

Again most tour pro's play off 1 or 2, how come you ain't on tour Greg with a +2 cap?

actually ifm, tour pros don't have handicaps, they all play off 0.

Most tour pros when they turn pro have a handicap of about +3 or +4, any that turn pro sooner usually don't make it.  To be a top golf pro you gotta be a different gravy.  Although i can play a bit and compared to most club golfers i am classed as good, there is no comparison between me and tiger or even a top 200 pro.

I gave up that dream about 8 years ago. I could still be a club pro and coach but its finding the motivation or will to do that.

most club golfers with a +2 hanicap would need a 3 or 4 handicap to play of the pro tees on the pro greens etc etc

I know they play them all off 0, even playing field and all that.
Though if you calculate the pro's using tour results the average is 1 or 2 and woods actually was +9 during 2000.
(people actually do track this stuff, not me though)
How can you not be a club pro?
i'd give my left leg to have that sort of talent, personally i fluctuate like thewey's chips.
Best ever was off 9 and i'm classed in the Tiger Woods bracket in my local!!

just  one of those things ifm.  When you were at such a level at a young age and never quite made it then it pisses you off.  Club pro sounds glamorous but think of those November weekday mornings when no-one wants to buy a mars bar and nobody wants a lesson - i suppose there is always internet poker to solve that - we'll see.

Forgot to put a bet on this last night.
Was going for Goosen each way at 20/1.
Just looked at the odds now on Bluesq and Ladbrokes and he's been cut to 8/1

No real value in that now.

Good call there ifm matched @ 120 on betfair, hope you're on !

Did Kinane have any winners today to go woth the treble yesterday ??

That too was an even better call !

Go Westie!!

I did eventually get Goosen at 8/1 each way....
Looking good

the goose is just chucking it away!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr Karabiner. Having chosen Jimenez, who lost to Allenby, double or quits on the Ladies singles at Wimbledon?, the Men's not being open enough

you pick one, I pick one, whoever lasts longer wins.....

I too was on Mr Goosen, at 12-1, unlike him to throw it away   :-\


 

Surely a player has to make the cut to win ?

Scores of players who miss the cut are purely academic. (Reflected in the amount of prizemoney that they win  ;) )

However I will not labour the point and will give you my tennis selection shortly.

 ;D

Oh ok, wriggle if you must!!!!

 ;D :D ;D

I'll take Henin-Hardenne.

I hope this is not the start of an acca., a 27 timer would be hard to bear !

 ;D

I'll take Serena Williams then

No accumulators!

your point about missing the cut was valid (although not established at the start,! my fault ) let's call this just for minor bragging rights

Oh.dear.

I'm starting to rival Ironside as far as bokking goes.

 :'(

Good call Tightend, I hope you were on !

How much is that I owe you now ?

 ???

wasnt that good a call she went out in the 3rd or 4th round

it was her sister venus that won
