I thought he was too sugar sweet as well Camel, and had similar thoughts when his wife had the Big C. He gave up his career for a year or so just to look after her.

I think when you have so much money, and comfort in your life it must be easier to smile, not matter what your golf is like!

I read a tweet yesterday that said Phil was still signing autographs at the course 3 hours after his round, long after all the other players had been whisked off back to their hotels. Can't see Tiger doing that.

Maybe I have become just too cynical and perhaps he's just a really nice guy.

Go Phil!

Apparently a huge punter.... Must get some brownie points for that

Proper mug punter. Years ago Yonex paid off all of his gambling debts of millions for him to play their clubs and sign with them. I get the impression that whilst he is a top bloke, loves the fans and has incred wedge tekkers he aint all that bright! Has a permanent simpleton grin on his face

Really pleased that after seeking views and taking on board feedback Simon has decided not to go ahed with this. Exactly what people should do when thinking up new ideas.

Amazing! Well done Nick

Merging stacks just plays into the hands of those that are better rolled and puts me off immensely. Why not do 'best stack'. So anyone can have a run at the three day ones and their best stack is carried forward. Surely that allows the punters to not feel like they are too disadvantaged, should increase dead money in the prize pool and allows that ballas to spunk off 300 trying to spin up a stack

15 secs way too short!
I agree that people in general play too slow but with large sums of money at stake thats understandable.
It could be a real car crash and very fiddly for the dealers to police in terms of when they start the clock, in what circumstances it can be stopped and they have to do that for every player on every hand on every street. It may lead to more dealer mistakes which can be one of the worst things about live poker.

Why not just give the dealers more powers to clamp down on persistent slow play and people not paying attention.

I would be interested to know the specific feedback that has brought about this need for change

Clicked to see why this thread could possibly have reached 14 pages then saw Aaron posted early on. .... Explained!

VBOL to Nick and Pete. 1&2 boys

Just tuned in. Wow. Go Nick and Pete. Would be immense if they chopped it or played out HU.

Excellent use if the word tupping itt. Shakespeare would be proud

I've immediately re-invested my refund back on Ms.Shin (surprise surprise) @ 16/1 for this weeks LPGA event The Shoprite Classic, an event in which she lost by a single shot the last time she played in 2011 at the same venue.

I'm recommending that fred does the same.

Do you know why she missed last week's tournament?  If you don't know, no problem.

I don't know actually, but assumed(dangerous I know) that as the first round was cancelled, four holes were unplayable and there were pics of some players fishing with fishing-rods on the 18th fairway, she was not over-enamoured with her late starting time on the further delayed opening round.

Possibly putting 2+2 together and getting a large total but I doubt it.

16/1 is massive imo, I have her 10/1 at best.

Had a free £20 bet to burn with spoil sports and they are amazingly top price miss shin so we are on!

Betfred settled Shinn bet.....with a little nudge I must add

Theyve settled mine as a loss. Guess i need to email them then

Refunded now. Cheeky barsteds

Went on the live chat last night.  He spent at least 10 minutes taking down details etc before letting me he couldn't do anything and they would email in the morning.  5 pm, no refund, no email.  Grrr

Fred was good as gold for me (established ice cream). One email sorted it.

Insta-notify

One of my lifelong dreams was to appear on you bet. Could never decide what I would do though. Toss up between identifying British birds from sections of their wings to hitting golf balls through truck tyres from 100 yards. They should dig up matthew kelly and bring that TV gold back!

Pm sent with predictions

I WILL WIN

Confidence FTW

Great! Will do.
