[KitKeeper]

Very long way to go, but worth the blonde forum populace bearing in mind that I'm only in for 10, here.

[TightEnd]

Yes, me too

Willett's last few holes have not been good for my ticker..

[The Camel]

Been at a wedding all day so missed all the fun.

I'll tell what I won't be if Padraig Harrington wins the Top GB and Ireland market but not the Top Former Winner one...

Happy.

[The Camel]

Got to say of all the tipster comps we have on Blonde, the golf ones are by far the most exciting.

I think the format lends itself to regular changes at the top of the leader board but I suspect that we've been a bit lucky with regard to the way recent tournaments have turned out.

Yes yes, that's true, but the randomising effect you introduced via the insertion of occasional apostrophes has been a very big factor.

PS - thank goodness KitKeeper has saved me from a complete disaster.

There was nothing to stop you picking O'Meara and gaining the benefit of the apostrophe.
It's not my fault if you don't have the foresight.
The Camel, Tal and Big_D were all canny enough to pick him. You need to work on your own game rather than moaning about the bad beats.

Also, as KitKeeper pointed out, he is just in for £10 so The Camel is top of the £15 table.

For any future blonde Comps, I'm going to re-programme my algo to select any name that has apostrophes in it.

[tikay]

By the way, wary as I am of overdoing these blonde Comps, & going to the well too often, I hope you run one of these for the PGA, which is, I think, mid August.

I'll bear that in mind when accidentally missing out any apostrophes in future.
