*****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD

SKY PUNDIT SLAGGING OFF COLLEAGUES SHOCKER!!!!

[tikay]

Adz gets the dough, wp mate.

I can't imagine Rich Beem being your kind of guy Tony but if you want an interesting read on life on tour as a single man that likes to party then his book is readable.

What exactly is he doing spending all this time in the UK on a TV Show?

Does he live in Europe now, or does he commute?

Has he retired from competitive golf? I know he lost his USA Card, but I thought he was playing the European Tour?

I can't help but think that Sly Sports must have used up all the budget on the Arsenal Ledge, Mr Henry.


"I want to do better

I want to be better

I want to Believe in Better"

And, suprise surprise, Believe in Better has been the BSKYB "maxim" for the last 5 years. And lo & behold, Thierry steps in right on Message. Amazing coincidence.

I actually have a Believe in Better Trophy somewhere. No idea what I was awarded it for. Services to Punditry, perhaps?

He lost his card and played some events on the Euro tour, he's a kind of watered down John Daly. The thing I find interesting about listening to US commentators on UK sports shows is how articulate and knowledgable they are. The NFL combo of Rheinbold and Evan Moore over the weekend was really good to listen to. Moore seemed a natural too. if Beem sticks to just talking about golf and golf shots he might be ok but  he's prob second fav in my book behind you to be the next Sky analyst to be found drunk face down in a cleavage covered in powder. ok, maybe he is fav.

I really enjoyed listening to Evan Moore, definitely a worthwhile addition.

He must be seriously tall, he towered over Reynolds, who is no shortarse.

The difference between listening to Moore and say Gayle who talks as tho he is addressing an audience watching its first NFL game every week was like chalk n cheese. Would love to get stuck In a lift with Rheinbold just to get a chance to listen to him talk about NFL. it's a shame that NFL Europe fell apart as we got a summer of NFL action and got to see some good NFL players/coaches playing in Europe and the crowds were fantastic too, some of the games in Germany got 50k + I think. I went to a World Bowl at the Amsterdam Arena maybe 12-13 years ago now and was probably 50k+ there too. Saw the Scottish Claymore's play in Barcelona too with a guy called Dante hall playing RB, he was like hot shit off a shovel quick but in the NFL he settled in as a kick return specialist ( think he held the record for most kicks returned for TD's at one stage)

Think the ex pat nature in Germany helped it to be a big sport there, it's arguable that If London gets an NFL franchise that there should be a franchise in Germany too. Makes you realises how good NFL players are when you see how players like Hall are close up and think wow but they don't really make it in the NFL in their chosen positions.

I've had a punt on Chris Kirk!

Not much consolation, but he finished with 11 birdies in his last round!

He played the round solo, too.

yes there aren't many golfers who have had both the highest and lowest rounds in a tournament...

Do you think he might have been on drugs?

Interesting story just broke on the Sky Sports coverage of the Sony Open from Hawaii.

Robert Allenby, having missed the cut, was due to fly back to the mainland today.

It seems he got kidnapped, given a bit of a beating, had all his valuables stolen, & then dumped 6 miles away.

He's OK, though his face & head seems to have some nasty lacerations.

Nasty business.

Dear Santa,

I know I'm a little late, but if you could arrange for Jimmy Walker to do a Martin Kaymer and Brian Harman to do a Gary Stal, and if you could put that in my stocking which I will hang on the end of my bed for me to find when I wake up tomorrow morning, I will be a very good boy from now on.

Honestly I will

xx

PS

If you could manage to make Paul Casey shoot 90 as well that would be great too.

Don't be bitter Ralph.

Stop putting a blindfold on every Tuesday and go buy the Outlook each Tuesday. Its only £2ish. If that's too much, ask bobby1

Not like I haven't mentioned it before.

[Karabiner]

Bitter? That's your smiley mate.

[BigAdz]

Bitter? That's your smiley mate.

I'll tell you what. I won't contribute.

Its clearly what you want. The place all to yourself.

Congrats. You got it.
