golf is abs brill, that was carnage. I was betting it for the firm and at one stage took it down coz I had on idea what was going on. Was a funny ending coz I wanted Rose for the firm most of the night and Bubba for myself. I did lay some Bubba back at 3.55 when he had the nine footer on 18 to level both results up as I thought that was too short, that made him a fraction under 4/5 to hole the putt and then evens to win the play off.

A proper gambler would have laid more but I didn't have it in me to turn the guy that was the best result all comp into the worse result at the end. Which is probably a weakness in the long run.

Well it was close but no cigar for me last week, I was a bit gutted. I ,for some strange reason thought Bradley was looking invincible at one stage and almost had the money spent in my head he was just so solid for about the first 7 holes! Then once he donked once he couldn't hit a good shot for the rest of the round, ah well it was a good sweat for the tourney with Scott going well for a while and a couple of others on the periphery.

This week is a bit of a 'after the lord mayors show' feel for me, but it would be criminal if I didn't back someone.

Jason Day @ 44

Pretty much just like the price when I see what players are on similar prices to him, he's been ok'ish so far this season, I hate the long hair look btw it looks awful IMO but I wont care a jot if he can do a win for me.

I was going to back Furyk too but his price is in reverse at the moment , will see how that pans out before I bet.Gl all.

Good luck mate, I am having a week off as the Mrs has had a hernia op and I got fatherly duties and Cheltenham to watch.

I might have a bet in between rounds if I like the look of something.

US weather

A really good forecast in terms of weather.
Sunny Dry and Warm 26-28c, with light winds from the east  around 8-12mph. So ideal scoring conditions

Euro

Returns to the Aloha golf course. Lee Westwood won in 20 under in 2007 and Thomas Levet prevailed in 16 under the next year. It’s a very short course by todays standard, at only 6800 yards long and  a par 72
There are a lot of short par fours, but with numerous dog legs, it more getting the tee shot in the middle of the fairway and accurate short irons to small greens                  
                              
The wind can get up here in the afternoon, however the forecast is set fair at around 18-20c with lightish easterly winds.

Hope that helps a little

I played Aloha a few times many years ago it's a lovely course designed by Dave Thomas near Puerto Banus.

Haven't spent much time on the golf this week, with chelts taking up my time... but stuck with Laird EW @ 50's and also small bet on Na EW @ 66/1

Pretty obvious, but I think Schwartzel looks very very solid this week, and cant see him not being in the mix, if I have a good day at chelts tomorrow I may have a look

good luck guys,


Did you stay at the course Ralph or was it a kind of golf tour?

I took a few in the Euro in the end for small stakes on players that might like the short tidy track.

Manassero 25.0, Bourdy 80, Horsey 120 and Kingston 120

Golf's been fantastic so far this year.  So many players are hitting their peak, and even if there not quite at their consistent best yet, they still pull out some amazing round.  Such as Sergio a couple weeks ago with his final round.  All leading upto to be a great Masters and beyond.

Gone pretty boring and obvious
Manassero, Schwartzel + a few others

I ran a bar in Marbella for about a year in 1980 Phil, I went on holiday originally and ended up staying after falling in love.

No bets so far this week for me, powder is otherwise occupied.

If you get a chance to write it up I would love to hear that story Ralph.

One of these days I'll tell it when I get the writing urge Phil.

I started off staying at the most exclusive hotel in the Costa Del Sol at that time, The Marbella Club.
