Good stuff T Mar, sure to be an emotional win for Lawrie.

It is a strange, how the mind works too. He has upped his game since his coach died late last year. It's almost like he has plodded along for years and then got inspired by someone else when he didn't seem to inspire himself any more.

Yes its turned out nice, would still prefer him beating as a few of the others are better than him still but it was looking like a chunky loss and now its going to be good.

Unless I cock it up from here on in that is ;o)

Loving that golf, Phil, amazed how far those boys drive these days. Saw a 375 yard tee shot, and on the 595 yard par 5, 38% hit the green in two!

Jeez, the game has gone mad.

1.17 was the lowest price he got, to be fair to Stanley he played one bad hole last week when he blew a three shot lead on the last. Levin just seemed to fall apart there, it's not the first time he has looked awful in a finish tho.

That was a big comeback for me too as the match bets went 1-2 and Levin was a nasty result going into  today so v happy with how that went.

I really think its a shame Tony that US golf has descended into that, its just a bit silly really. Everything seems to be set up to create loads of birdies because they seem to think that is all anyone wants to watch. Some of the best finishes last year were on tough courses, the PGA probably about the best, when you have to hit good proper shots to survive. Not take a driver on a par 4 and reach the green. It is creeping into the Euro courses now too, although, as this week showed the weather can counteract it more than the majority of US events.

Yeah looked like he deserved it.If I was him i'd spend the next couple of Day sitting in the Sun with my Hat off.

A good week to play golf with the weather good in both events, bar the chance of strong winds on the Sunday at both venues and maybe a bit of rain in the US on Saturday. Around 12 mph in the afternoons in Dubai for the first three rounds which isn't so bad. There could be a delay in the mornings tho as with no wind forecast here it can be a bit foggy.

In Dubai there will be a big change to the green speeds from the last two weeks as there is no real wind  in the forecast. Greens are due to be around 13 on the Stimpmeter, last week they were running at 9 on the first few days to stop the balls moving. Will be another tricky element for those that played last week to contend with, as well as having their swings blown around for a few days too

Solid ball strikers will be suited this week and good iron players, the Par Fives  are a lot kinder and are reachable by most players, which wasn’t the case last week.
The rough is light but around the greens they have let it grow much thicker this year so greens in reg will be more important than some weeks and a good short game a must if you do miss greens.

So long drivers that are great ball strikers, that like par 5's and have a quality short game should they miss a few greens.

Looks like a course that should suit McIlroy as his previous form figures here suggest and the added bonus is he didn't play last week but he is around 4/1.... boooo!!


Pebble Beach Pro Am

Back on poa anna greens again and  this looks like an event to have a bet in as Woods is in at shortish price, a few of those in behind him are either out of sorts or have great course form but are much shorter prices on the back of that than they are most weeks. It's awful to watch on TV, as they play on three different courses in the first three rounds and then all play Pebble for a second time on Sunday. The other downside is you will see a lot of Bill Murray and Kenny G/ Huey Lewis in the coverage too.

Going to have a good look tonight and see if I can find a bet.

Looks like no studying required. Each way cross Atlantic double on the good things

[bobby1]

Yes that doesn't look like the worst bet ever. It does look similar to the week towards the end of last year where Westy lined up at Sun City and Woods was fav for the Chevron, both having fantastic course form and in good recent form. Westy blew in and Woods got there in the end. McIlroy won on the Euro tour the same week and a shed load of ew doubles and trebles copped the lot.

[Karabiner]

I thought I'd found a decent bet for Pebble and left a bet slightly bigger than the offered price on BF.

When I went back the price had shrunk by about 25% and of course I'm not on.

I reckon Chapman or Palmer's gazumped me grrr
