RickMcD Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Was out walking the dogs earlier and met a pal. He's quite a big gambler. He's backed all top seven in the odds each way. Didn't ask him how much. But if ever there was a sport where someone in the top seven doesn't win regularly, it's golf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen william hill were paying out on 7 places for EW and even the favourites are 15/1 and up so it might not be as bad a plan as it sounds. I fancy Adam Scott to win it.

davidg Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Always a dodgy bet with the golf as there tends to be a lot of people tied for positions. If there are 8 people tied 7th the odds are heavily diluted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickMcD Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 A lot of nervous excitement over here with Rory's score because of his 'Friday' syndrome. Would love him to win it. Scott looks useful. Tiger's hinging aboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 The pros don't just play a much better standard of golf than us mortals, they're on a different planet to us. I play in the annual Buchanan Castle pro-am, and last year the pro in our team was Greg Hutcheon, the club pro at Banchory GC in Aberdeen. I was marking his card, and he just missed a putt on the 9th to go out in 29 strokes. He ended up joint winner with a 63 I think. He was playing a different game from the one we were. He had a good season, and with a good finish in the Scottish Open at Castle Stewart, had qualified for the BMW Championship at Wentworth. After playing at Buchanan Castle, he was driving down with a mate caddying for him to Wentworth. He came up through the ranks as a young player alongside the likes of Lee Westwood and Luke Donald etc. He was a contender himself, but suffered a serious back injury and had to abandon hopes of making it as a touring pro. He had really found form again though - hence doing well enough to play at a massive event like the BMW. He is still friendly with a lot of the tour pros, and his stories were entertaining as we went round. He was saying that his admiration for guys like Westwood, Rose, McDowell & Co is untold. He said that it is one thing to be a successful tour pro, who we all recognise on TV, but to reach the very top - and to stay there, is a different deal altogether. He was by far the best player I've played with, God knows what it must be like to play alongside Woods or Mickelson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a few professional events over here before I ever saw an Open live. I once saw a fairly young Darren Clarke against a very young Graeme McDowell here in Bangor and wondered about their talent. Then I watched my first Open live and just couldn't believe what I was seeing. It's one thing seeing it on TV and another seeing it live.Another planet covers it. When you stand behind some of the tees at the Open and you're thinking how the hell will he get it over all that gorse and a qualifier you've barely heard of blazes the ball a hundred yards beyond the rough, it really defies description. Good golf is awesome on telly but even better seeing it live. Thing is telly gets virtually every great shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TPAFKATS Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Speith & Poulter were my picks at the bookies together with Matsuyama. Last time I looked he was -5. Turns out he finished on -1. Back to bookies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Saint Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Speith & Poulter were my picks at the bookies together with Matsuyama. Last time I looked he was -5. Turns out he finished on -1. Back to bookies... The wife said to me on Wednesday night that McIlroy looked a great bet at 5/2 to finish in the top ten. Needless to say i ignored her advice.
