Daizie - That was just a little joke. We are all used to the Jimmy Tarbuck / diamond sweater jokes (I have a few)



Quids - Paul Casey has a good Masters record: has finished 6th 10th and 11th in last four years - and a win last week to boot.

I've placed ?50 as follows:

Rory McIlroy @ 36 ?10.00 ?350.00

Paul Casey @ 30 ?10.00 ?290.00

Zach Johnson @ 50 ?10.00 ?490.00

Justin Leonard @ 130 ?2.75 ?354.75

@ 130 ?7.25 ?935.25

Padraig Harrington 21 ?10.00 ?200.00


Good luck..............

I played Beckenham Place Park yesterday. Actually considering its a 15 min drive (on a good run) I thought it was pretty good, certainly better than the one in Mitcham. The back nine holes are quite challenging and attractive and a lot more interesting than the front. ?23 is a bit steep but it is in London I guess and that's the price you pay for convenience.


Greens are a little ropey and the biggest frustration is that the course has no distance markers whatsoever! Otherwise certainly worth a look ...

Mick, first the bad news, you're going to wake up with a hangover, but the good news is Rory didn't get disqualified! He must be kicking himself though for getting into such a good position and then throwing it away...


Goosen failed to make the cut, but Rose is hanging in there with a respectable -2, one of the big guns needs to make a move today, would be nice to see Garcia go on to win...

Sadly Not Mick!


I stand to be corrected but I'm pretty sure I put "Angel and Jim" when I wrote this at 6.20 but, for a joke, I edited this to read "Kenny and Chad" at 10.16 (as they were betting 98% round the front 2 i.e. Odds of 1/2 and 9/4 respectively!) and the pair were beat!


I assumed that I would lose as I had laid both and put in a "Lay" of 2.1 against Angel and let The Young Lady monopolise the Computer and went to bed.


When I awoke I couldn't believe neither had Won but that "2.1 Lay" was to turn Angel into a "Taker" so all 3 Players made me finish even, which I would have settled for as I went with Jim F. and then Phil M. and they both faded, as you know.

Only Betfair which easily has the most liquidity RD.


Been with them since May,2003.

Reckon this will be a great tournament - lots of home (GB&I) guys in form at the moment.


Great challenge for McIlroy to see how he does and he says he is hitting some form. Woods obvious favourite. Any thoughts anyone?

Oh - and my wife's sister and her hubby are visiting at the weekend - I have said I will be watching TV all afternoon Saturday and Sunday as the Open is the highlight of my sports viewing year and I won't be available for doing stupid things like sitting in the park - Is this selfish? [women with no interest in sport need not reply, as you are biased]

Before my time, but I think Nicklaus' put on the 18th green in 77 must have been one of the greatest putts ever. Watson was a shot ahead and sitting 1 1/2 feet from the hole with a birdie putt. Nicklaus had to play second and was in the rough 150 yards from the green, he played a great shot to make the green and had a 40 foot putt.


Amazingly he made the putt - Watson made his too and won but Nicklaus was an incredible guy under pressure and to make that putt was amazing.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.
