THE Open Tipster Competition 2015

[MereNovice]

Hellooooooo. 😋

Mr Giblin of Royal Ormonde, no less.

Timing his run to perfection.

[Tal]

What are the scenarios from here, Mr Mere, please?

What happens if Day birdies, Speith birdies or both birdie?

How swingy does it look from here?

[Karabiner]

That Jakally is a tough guy to beat.

We taught him how to play spoof on a road-trip in London and he won every game.

It's pretty solid but a Day birdie would be bad news for jakally!

If Day birdies my iPad takes off across the living room.

[MereNovice]

If Day birdies my iPad takes off across the living room.

iPad takes a big sigh of relief.

The playoff won't affect the result of this competition so I'll just wait for the website to update the scores and I'll post the final positions.

Is it possible to ensure my winnings includes all of Camel's £25, please?

Mere, do you still have my bank details from the Super Bowl Comp?

[jakally]

Yes, well I think that's plenty long enough now.

Well done Jakally (always runs so good), Tal, Doobs and kitkeeper.

Very enjoyable comp once again Vince, thank you for running it.

Great job also in assuring Gramps finishes in the lower end of the table.
