What it feels like when you bump into a mate in the pub and he want's to tell you about his golf handicap.

You can stay, but I'm leaving

haha I got 2/3 of them back home.....and when they start demonstrating changes to their swing 😴 or worse describing every shot of their latest round 😴😫😭😨 then its time to start throwing the insults.....

Genesis Open! 

Been doing a bit of reading on it. It's set at the Riveria golf club, California, and whilst it's close to the coast, it's far enough away (looks like 1000m ish) to not have much Links feel / play about it. 

Apparently the roughs have some imported grass that's taken over the rough sections of the course, and whilst the first cut is okay for driving, anything further out will be horrible to control. 

JB Holmes won last year, with t50th for driving distance and accuracy, but t2nd for GIR. 

Year before was won by Bubba who finished t7th GIR and the year before DJ with top driving distance, and 1st for GIR. 

With this in mind I'm only going to back one of my favourite golfers in the last 3-4 years

Xander Schauffle - he's finished top 15 both the times he's played here and he also grew up in California, so hoping that counts for a little more. His current form also has him 10th on the tour for GIR this year at around 75%.

There are a few others I'm considering - Cantlay (on fire in GIR and was 2nd on the tour last week in this regard, down to 6th now) Rahm - also top 10, but odds are too short, so I think I'm going for Matsuyama. On both GIR (tied 10th with Xander) and on law of averages - he's due a good finish on the tour sooner rather than later surely. 

One to avoid (or perhaps have a brave punt on!?!) Koepka at around 25/1, he's had a few niggly injuries and this is his first tour event in a while. It's probably the biggest odds you'll find him all year, but that's not enough to tempt me in - gotta be sensible! 

Good luck all

Matsuyama, Cantlay and Schauffle all finish the last day well, but gve themselves too much to do earlier on. 

Matsuyama ties 5th, 3 shots behind the lead for a v. Small prof overall. Cantlay - 3 best score of the final round almost to finish 5 shots behind tied 17th, and 1 shit behind that Schauffle on T27. 

Shame they couldn't of nailed it earlier, but good tourn vs a strong field.

Unlucky Luke. I finally managed to double up on the top 10 thanks to Joel Dahmen. I done Adam Scott in an ew treble with Bezhuidenhout in south Africa but my woman golfer let me down after sitting T6 overnight shot a +5 final round. so not even an ew treble. I had Scott Brown at 400/1 ew, and was hoping, before Scott birdied 17, we might get a play off....no such luck. But its been a good couple of weeks after a shaky start. I been doing Max Homa for the last month, he was big 3 figure prices a month ago, now 50/1 even in a loaded field like this, too short for me, so left him out, just glad he didn't win. My top 2 fancies were leishman and Bubba tbh, and both failed, despite coming well out in front in my stats.

Just WGC &, USPGA this week!!  I spoke to Shades last week, and he is either back next month or deffo for The Masters. Which is good as he has more knowledge than me.

Good Luck!

my top 2 ew fancies Ancer and Vegas come T12 and T9 so close, just not close enough. I toyed with Josh Teater at 125/1 and Na at 100/1 but left em out, closest I would have got to a decent ew shot this week. Very disappointing on the whole.

But I know not many will read this, but I wanna know people's thoughts on young Norwegian Viktor Hovland. The worlds top amateur not to long ago and now racking up his first pro tour victory this weekend. He really will be one to follow this season, will deffo need another couple of wins to get Ryder Cup recognition, but I wouldn't like to say he couldn't do it, at 22 looks an exciting talent. In fact one more good showing in the coming weeks would get him into The Masters, he's currently No.60 on the world rankings.

After that rubbish week Im happy there are no limited fields this week, Asian tour and Euro tour are both back!!

I backed Hovland a couple of times at the end of last year.   He looks like he will be  a great talent and as you say this year could be the time to catch him at reasonable prices.   

What with Wolfe   Griffen and Scheffler   plus the other exciting recruits it will interesting to see who pushes on

Thanks @Crunchie   I backed him yesterday e/w in running was disappointed when he dropped a couple of shots yesterday  but was very good today.  Cannot believe you left him out of your bets.

GTFIT Phil....I preferred others to him this week @philinvicta most I would have done is an ew treble with him in. what odds was he? (I got Fleetwood, Berger, Woodland and Westwood in the top 8...with nothing) Had the winner in Oman at 250/1 in my bets. Kennedy 14/1 won in NZ, Langer won the seniors 11/1 and if David Kochar wins the probable play off on the Korn Ferry I wont be happy, only had him top 10 in a different bet and he was 150/1. I had Pereira the overnight leader, but he was only 33's, just had a nightmare round and still might make the play off too. George Coetzee was my top bet in Oman at 50's. Just plain forgot to include him in a top 10 bet. Would have had 2 trebles up! Just couldn't match em up this week. Onwards!!

I backed him at 10/1 and he was out to 12/1 at start of last round .   

You had a lot of nice picks again    .  I thought you had Berger with Kennedy in a double.   You were unlucky because if  they had fallen right you could of had an epic week

My man won the Korn Ferry...150/1. I usually do a few speccy ew doubles on my outsiders. Just not these pair together. You know what the ew double is on those 2 longshots, just under 40,000/1, even 10p ew was 4k. Not a happy bunny today....

top tier golf returns !!! ....  oh iv missed you !!!

been a while since i graced this page , did post an explanation for my absence , but thats all behind me now and im eager and happy to be back .

so we got 2 decent tournaments starting thursday from the PGA and Korn Ferry in the U.S , also there is KLPGA ladies event and a small tour event , a lot of the big names are entered in the main U.S event so it should be an entertaining week , obviously there will be no crowds , personally i cannot see this having much affect on anything . but it could be a good week or weeks to actually pick a few randoms as we have no clue how these players are going to perform after a pretty big break .

so who am i going for , well as i always do i tend to avoid the top 10% of the market as i seek bigger value , iv had quite a few bets which i will post below in no particular order .

£6 win Sunny Kim 20/1 in the disney palm small event

16 x 40p eachway doubles 

Hoag 50/1 Hearn 66/1 Etulain 150/1 Riley 50/1 onto Wolff 150/1 Zhang 300/1 Norlander 400/1 Mitchell 200/1

Jaeger 100/1 Dou 100/1 onto Niemann 80/1 Hovland 60/1 onto Lee6 10/1 JH Oh 40/1

£4 top10 double

Svensson 13/2 Munoz 14/1

£4 eachway double

may place a few added singles on some of the above names before events start  , but very doubtful i will add players .

roll on thursday , good luck all !!

morning all , sadly no excitement on last weeks return to the fray , was tempted  to reload sunday morning but didnt , i would not have done any good so saved a few quid in the end , could  of done with Morikawa winning that playoff though as it would of put me one leg away from pulling off my season request a bet .

so on to a new week we go , and the korn ferry tour starting later today and the main tour going tomorrow as usual .
