Never a bad time to see Tiger Wood's hole in one on the 16th hole in 1997( must turn up the volume for maximum effect)

Not trying to be pick holes in your analyis bobby (great write up) and I know jack about it, but think the greens in US are bent grass this week?!

"Bermudagrass; perennial ryegrass; fine fescue (tees, fairways, rough, greens); Poa trivialis; Velvet bentgrass (greens)"

Taken from PGA site

Could be dandelines and clovers for the all the good it will do me Smiley



Think the head of the market is even more tightly priced than usual this week in the US so looking further down the list.. Backed Tringale @ 100/1 and Tommy 2 Gloves @ 200/1 both ew

Also backed Paul Lawrie ew @ 50/1 in qatar, seems overpriced?!   Said after his 2nd place to quiros that he was practicing harder now than he ever has done, and seems to be paying off... former winner also, sounds like its going to be carnage though!

Hi mate, I think Lawrie is always a good shout in the wind.

Let me check that grass strain again mate, I got Bermuda on the course report but there are some courses that use different grass on the fairways and greens.

Dabbled on Charley Hoffman @250 and my man Tringale @150(only partially matched as some bugger must've tipped him) in the US event. I'm loving this 20/1 the field as a punterer. Got another shorter-priced pick as yet unmatched.

Mmm I have reread the course report I have and it does say Bermuda.

The reason I am not sure it would be Bent grass is that strain doesn't tend to grow in the winter and is therefore used in the most northern courses from Spring to Autumn only.

The difference could be that here in the desert the temp might be warm enough all year round for it to survive but there is a touch of frost in the forecast for the morning so I am not sure it will have been hot enough for it to grow.

I backed Tringale last night, and agonised whether to take 150 on bf, or 100/1 ew with the books... I dont usually trade,  just embrace the variance and go with it (rarely in my favour lol) but 50% better price for the win got me thinking i'm givining up quite a bit... anyone got any thoughts, also situations where you get say 50/1 paying 6 places, and 66/1 paying 5... is the extra place worth it? I normally take the bigger price, but last week took 6 places with mol despite a marginally lesser price, mistake?

In that first example I would deffo take the 150, the reason for this is I would look to trade some of it back if he was in contention and I thought the price was right. So I am using the trade back when in contention as my 'place' insurance at the bigger price. The way that falls down is if your guy comes from the clouds to nick a place late on but at 50 points bigger I think you have to take that win only. The bonus of doing this tho Is that you can take some profit when he is in contention and if he falls out of the places then you have made a bit too

In the second example I don't think there is much in it.

I forgot to add too, if you are not taking the ew bet, you can have twice as much on the win price instead. So if you were going to have 20 quid ew at 100, you are probably better off having the 40 quid on win at 150. Then if you do trade some back you have more to play with to 'earn' some of your place bet returns and of course you still win that amount even if he isn't placed.

I rang the course T Mar and spoke to a lovely Lisa in the Maintenance and groundsman department. She said the greens were Bermuda with an over seed of bent grass rye to protect it. I guess that's what the description you had means.

(Bermudagrass; perennial ryegrass; fine fescue (tees, fairways, rough, greens);Poa trivialis; Velvet bentgrass (greens)")

She said she would mail me the exact description and explanation but it hasn't arrived, she must have got the email addy wrong or didn't bother.
