my only bet in the golf

Group B / The Open Championship 2011 / Top 5 Finish
Tom Lewis Back 15522094817 14-Jul-11
08:39 65 2.00 65 14-Jul-11 08:39



£2 64/1 top 5 finish. In with a shout

Unlucky not to get bigger as well, Kit, as I think there was a rumble in the RPost on Weds that shaved a few points off him.

I'd sooner be holding that chip than not even so

some fella was tipping him e/w on radio 5 , so I followed. Aint got a clue about golf

nice walk spoiled innit?

Golf?.....Fuck me, that's almost as bad as Vroom Vroom!

Can't have that, Tone. It's a mental test as well as a good way to go for a walk (Mark Twain notwithstanding). It shows something about your own capabilities if, on the easiest stroke index hole on a course, you take a 12 and then play the next perfectly well.

The fact that so many clubs end up in lakes, bins and I'd imagine windscreens makes it one of the great internal struggles. And that's without hitting a fucking ball. And anyone can do it. You don't see Mabel in her '97 Ford Fiesta trying to take a milk float on the inside before having to run into the car park at Sainsbury's for as quick a piss as she can manage and try and get out before the no. 12 (Torquay) bus gets in front of her

Televised, though, it's green, a white dot on a blue background, green.

My four, FWIW, were
Schwartzel
Rock
Allenby
Lawrie

Quite happy with that portfolio at the minute. Biggest winner would be Lawrie as I have a sly sidebet on him being the highest placed former major winner EW at 80s as well.

Kit, I misread your bet - I thought it was "Top English" which I'd seen tipped up bigger.

He's in the mix, which is more than can be said for LJW. "Maybe next year, Tim..."

Just to revisit this for the safest bet of the weekend which is a standing order on a Saturday night and although I didn't partake, dropped again this week.

Two words - Lay Westwood

US Open starts tomorrow and I've resurrected this thread as I think Tom Lewis might ruffle a few feathers. 33/1 Top English (1/3 1-2 out of nine runners) isn't the worst bet ever, he's 300/1 in the outrights.

Matsuyama and DeLaet my other two. I of course know fuck all about golf.

The Open, top 7s and 8s abound EW 1/4 and Tiger Woods at greater than 20s to start meant that irrespective of back surgery and little prep, I had to back him.

He's made a good start.

Also on Matsuyama at 66s EW, they sit side by side at -3, three off the lead.

Have backed Garcia win only as well, only because last up at Hoylake he was right in for winning and then turned up in some lemon skin tight garb on the Sunday and the R&A or whoever said "he can't win dressed like that..."

Penny plays on Marc Warren 200/1 (-1, was better mid round), Zach Johnson at 50s (same, -1) and Danny Willett, 100s, who's over par.

Willett has just win the Masters and in the right place, Matsuyama was placed.

I was in the right place

One book going eight places, Tone. He was tied for 7th.

But you posted the tips 21 months ago.
Were they for this event?

Sorry, Tone, wasn't on Willett but did back Matsuyama this week. Thought I'd put up, might have put it as a multi on another thread, I'm very erratic at the minute...

Seems I hadn't. Had the fifth in the Lincoln with Matsuyama and two losers, bet covered itself and a couple of points over. Not great but mine...
