Cleandries Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I've just laid Westwood at 6.5 or 11/2 He usually blows up on final rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shades111 Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 been on one of my golfing slumps lately thats the reason for the lack of posts on my part , Augusta in 2 weeks though , getting excited !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_B_123 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Really good weekend for me. Had Casey / Scheffler / Homa (who we mentioned in the masters thread) Tringale and Burns in the Valspar PGA tour. Pretty big odds, all 40+ in the top 7. Covered a bit on Keegan Bradley, but overall, top result for me (although didn't put much on) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philinvicta Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Garrick Higgo definitely looks like a golfer who may be worth a follow this season. He has already won 3 tournaments on the European tour with 2 this year. I backed him in the Canary Islands Championship. That was part of a mini tour that qualified him into the US Open. I expect as part of his prep he is playing in the Palmetto Championship this week where he currently lies 3rd going in to the final round. He is only 22 and is ranked 54 in the world.

Luke_B_123 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 So busy and so much sport - US open starts tommorow! Havent had hardly any chance to look at it in detail. Anyone got any fancies? @Shades111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_B_123 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Okay, so will post mine before first tee off (11 places with Skybet) LONG SHOT - Wolff (150/1) only looking for him to hit some for of a year or 2 ago, and generally have picked players who are slightly longer as the course (Torrey Pines) whilst has some nasty bits of rough, generally looks like it could favour the longer guys. Bit of a gamble at an e/w place with Wolff though. LONGER SHOT - Nienaber (200/1) 21 years old and recently won a decent tournament. Guy is like 6'2, weighs about as much as his driver probably, but absolutely pummels the ball. Stats so far are showing he hits it as far (or a little further) than Bryson. Hoping this guy is like Niemann / Homa in the fact you can get huge prices on them for a few months or so, before they drop down into 70/1 bracket. Be interesting to see how he goes round. Very small e/w bet. Normal Picks - not too much explanation on these, but my fancies are Thomas, Berger and Reed. Good luck all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredthedog1 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Scottie scheffler 45/1 Shane Lowry 45/1 Carlos ortiz 160/1 Cameron champ 225/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_B_123 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Really like Scheffler game. Backed him last few tournaments and not done much tho. Seems a great talent though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_B_123 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) Wolff tied 3rd as the 2nd day finishes. Down from 150/1 to 11/1. Hopefully can stay in there for a place. Thomas Tied 13th, Berger Tied 21st Shame Nienaber had a poor day, only just made the cut at +4. Scheffler going well for @Fredthedog1@FreddieTheFrog (EDIT - for some reason on phone I cant remove the name tag on the post) Edited June 19, 2021 by Luke_B_123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philinvicta Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Great interview with Jon Rahm especially the bit on why he swings the way he does and has one leg shorter than the other . Useful channel on youtube for all the press conferences etc for the open. I found the following of a few guys trying to qualify good as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solario333 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 just backed Justin Rose 60/1 and Jason day 75/1 . my 2 for this Open Golf tournament. I always back koepka so I will add him later. Good Luck all . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philinvicta Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Today sees the start of the second major the USPGA. One bet that stands out to me is Jordan Spieth in his 3 ball against Rory and Tiger at around 6/4. The course is said to suit players who like Augusta which all three players have form at but Spieth is also usually a fast starter and for me Tiger is way past his best and Rory seems to be struggling with parts of his game. I have also backed Spieth outright together with Matsuyama and Cam Smith. If Spieth wins he will complete the career grand slam of Majors. Also be aware because bad weather is forecast for tomorrow morning so really you want an early starter today who will be out late tomorrow 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philinvicta Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Spieth having a nightmare . If he does not sort it out he will be out of the tourny on day 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philinvicta Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) Not sure how many other people still like a little dabble on the golf but the bookies had some sweat yesterday as a few favourites were near the top across all 3 tournaments. In Italy Rory and mat Fitzpatrick first and second favs were at the top going into the last round and in the LiV Cameron Smith and Dustin |Johnson first and second favs were at the top and on the PGA Max Homa the pre tournament favourite and defending champion was top . Cameron Smith and Max Homa both won (Max after he chipped in from off the green for a birdie and then Danny Willett missed a 3 foot putt to win outright and also missed the return to gift the whole lot to Max Homa). Fitzpatrick was leading on 17th and made a bogey and then lost a play off to Robert McIntyre who shot an incredible round being 5 under after 7 holes on a hard day for scoring Rory having dropped away after a double bogey at the first. I got a few quid back after doing small cross doubles and trebles but I am sure MCIntyre saved the bookies a huge sum my bet would have netted 510 if Fitzpatrick had won as well Edited September 19, 2022 by philinvicta 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
